Trivia

The Show

• The fourth episode ends differently, going from a close-up of the Sixth Doctor's face to having his face and not the Fifth's over the beginning of the closing credits. Additionally, Davison is billed second after Colin Baker as the Doctor.

• Davison was legitimately struck by Christopher Gable when Sharaz Jek backhands the Doctor because the mask Gable was wearing impaired his vision.

Behind the Scenes

• Morgus facing the camera directly and speaking his inner thoughts was due to actor John Normington misunderstanding the stage directions given to him. However, everyone like it and was kept in.

Quotes

• Peri: What's happened?

The Sixth Doctor: Change, my dear, and it seems not a moment too soon.
