Misplaced, moving to the correct tab


* BrokenAesop: The Doctor delivers a heartfelt speech that the Thals must tell their people WarIsHell, and not to make it sound like their adventure was a 'fun game'. The story involves, amongst other things, them escaping fun, toyetic AlwaysChaoticEvil nasty pepperpot people by dressing up in purple fur coats and {{MacGyvering}} a hot air balloon. The reason for this discrepancy is because the scene was appended to the end by Creator/TerranceDicks at the last minute because the script was underrunning.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Vaber is not very nice and stupid HotBlooded but he isn't wrong to point out that if they have no way back to Skaro they may as well take risks when fighting the Daleks.

* DividedForPublication: This serial was written as parts 7-12 of "Frontier in Space" before the production team ultimately decided to bill it as its own, interconnected story.



** It also follows directly on from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E3FrontierInSpace Frontier in Space]]", as the Dalek army is the one they were planning to use to invade the galaxy after Earth and Draconia had destroyed each other. The first episode even reprises the closing moments of "Frontier in Space" like a typical mid-serial episode.

The first episode even reprises the closing moments of "Frontier in Space" like a typical mid-serial episode. Of note is that the two stories were originally intended to be billed as one twelve-part serial (which would've tied it with [[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E4TheDaleksMasterPlan "The Daleks' Master Plan"]] for the position of longest story by episode count) before being DividedForPublication as two interconnected six-parters.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Aside from Jo, Rebec is the only female character in the story.



* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Rebec was included at the insistence of Creator/BarryLetts and Creator/TerranceDicks, who wanted female characters on screen for visual variety and for the female audience members.
