* WagTheDirector: Creator/TomBaker disliked the resolution of the first episode's cliffhanger, suggesting instead an action-packed sequence in which the Doctor swings on his scarf to kick the door open. He and director Michael E. Briant argued vociferously until Briant revealed that Graham Williams was present to observe the shoot. Baker quickly agreed to follow the director's instructions.

* InspirationForTheWork: Creator/ChrisBoucher was inspired by his lifelong love of science-fiction. Creator/CliffordDSimak's 1950 short story "Bathe Your Bearings In Blood!" (also known as "Skirmish") suggested the element of an outside influence inciting a robot rebellion, while the axioms which held the robots in check were reminiscent of Creator/IsaacAsimov's LawsOfRobotics. The Sandminer itself drew upon elements of ''Literature/{{Dune}}'', published from 1963. The murder mystery structure, on the other hand, owed a debt to ''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone''.
