Trivia

The Show

  • First appearance of Sarah Jane Smith, the longest-running companions in the show's history.
  • This serial reveals Gallifrey to be the name of the Doctor's homeworld.
  • First story to feature the Sontarans.

Behind the Scenes

  • Kevin Lindsay insisted on pronouncing "Sontaran" by stressing the second syllable (son-TAR-an) rather than using Holmes' envisioned pronunciation, which stressed the first syllable (SON-tar-an). When Bromly attempted to correct Lindsay's pronunciation, the latter shot back with "Well, I think it's 'son-TAR-an' and since I'm from the place, I should know." Bromly backed down and the "son-TAR-an" pronunciation would become the canon one.
