1* FranchiseKiller: The producers were planning to adapt the next Dalek TV serial "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E8TheChase The Chase]]" (which would have renamed the Mechanoids to the Mekons), but the box office failure of this film nixed that. You can see a brilliant fan-made spoof trailer for this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josI9YR45dI here.]]
2* OnSetInjury: Stuntman Eddie Powell broke his ankle during a scene in which his character falls off a building, but still limped to his mark so he'd be in the correct place to be exterminated by the Daleks moments later. Actor Andrew Keir hurt his wrist when punching through a van windscreen during a sequence in which Wyler and Susan escape from London.
3* PropRecycling: Those [[CowTools two Vickers Vimy aero engines]] next to the toolshed where Dr. Who is captured are from a cancelled movie.
4* TechnologyMarchesOn: The "highly advanced" miniature aerial is quite a bit bigger than the average mobile phone aerial of the early 21st century. It's only going to get worse by 2150.
5* TroubledProduction: Production was complicated by the illness of Creator/PeterCushing, which required some rewriting of the script to reduce his on-screen appearances.
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Early drafts of the script featured a Purple Dalek before it was replaced by a Black Dalek.
