** Patrick Troughton had, on meeting Peter Davison soon after the latter had been cast as the Doctor, advised him to only stay in the role for three seasons to avoid typecasting and becoming overly associated with one role. While Davison took that advice, leaving the role after the next season, Troughton himself so enjoyed the experience of returning to the role in this episode that he cheerfully returned again in the season immediately after Davison left.

* WriterRevolt: Creator/TerranceDicks got fed up with Creator/EricSaward's insistence that Cybermen (his favourite monster) got a bigger and bigger part in the story, so he wrote in a scene with a "Raston warrior robot" (an extremely low-budget monster played by a man in a silver body stocking who could use the equally low-budget Stop Trick to teleport) slaughtering a whole platoon of Cybermen and then exiting the plot. Ironically, in a story about five (well, four) of the Doctor's incarnations meeting each other at the dark heart of Gallifrey, this scene ended up as the most memorable part of the whole special.

** In early drafts of the script, some of the Doctor and companion combinations were different. Originally, the Fourth Doctor would have been paired with Sarah Jane, the Third Doctor with the Brigadier and the Second Doctor with Jamie. When Frazer Hines proved unavailable for more than a cameo appearance the script had to be altered, pairing the Second Doctor with Victoria Waterfield. This was revised again when Deborah Watling became unavailable and Tom Baker decided not to appear, resulting in the pairings as they were screened.
