* HeelFaceTurn: Janos, thanks to the Doctor and Exorse, due to Nanina.

* SpannerInTheWorks: As a result of the attempt on using transference on the Doctor, Janos develops a case of conscience. Later, Exorse has the chance to rat out the Doctor's plan to Edal, but does not do so and, in the critical moment during the attack on the laboratory, turns on the machinery instead of the savages.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: The Doctor is strapped to gurney before he undergoes the transference process.

* CrapsaccharineWord: The advanced and idyllic society of the Elders is maintained by draining the life force of savages living outside the city for the Elders.

This is the first story to label its episodes as "Episode 1", "Episode 2", etc.

Te Doctor is outraged, but powerless to intervene when some of his own life-force is drained by Jano, leader of the Elders. With it, however, Jano absorbs some of the Doctor's conscience and knowledge, and destroys the life-force transference lab.

* LostAesop - The advanced race was originally supposed to be played by actors in blackface (the story's original title was "The White Savages") as a parable about apartheid era South Africa. This got dropped except for the city's leader Jano.
* NubileSavage - Nanina, whose fur leotard could almost give Leela a run for her money.

* YouAreInCommandNow

Despite featuring the departure of a long-running companion, this is one of the most forgotten Doctor Who stories today.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen - There was to have been a sequel where it would be learned that Steven had done a FaceHeelTurn and was now a tyrant. This fell through, though.
