Smith found the double acting role to be a hard role and received little support from the crew, whom Smith constantly voiced his frustrations at. Gaiman meanwhile enjoys the script as he wrote it but found that the finished product was misinterpreted by the director, leaving a lot of his intentions unclear. Gaiman revealed in 2018 that he felt like the product was being taken out of his control and being weakened without his consent, leaving him with a bitter experience. Whilst this hasn't altered his love of the show or his desire to return, it did lead him to demand full creative control over future projects based on his scripts.

The Turk was in fact an elaborate hoax: the cabinet at which the lifelike figure sat was carefully designed to hide an operator, even though the space could be opened to reveal that it seemingly contained only the Turk's mechanisms.
