* WrittenInAbsence: Turlough is still back on Frontios, and Tegan remains in the TARDIS for the ''entire'' story because she and the Doctor had a fight about his driving. Though this was obviously done because Janet Fielding was unavailable, it does serve as a nice bit of retroactive foreshadowing: once the Doctor and Tegan ''do'' get back to Frontios, it will only be a matter of hours before she [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E4ResurrectionOfTheDaleks leaves the TARDIS for good]] over various disagreements with his lifestyle.
