* GlamRock: The aesthetics of glam rock had a very big influence on the look of the Axons. It was the early Seventies, after all.
* HilariousOuttakes: This is one of the few Doctor Who stories for which material from the original studio recording exists, so mistakes such as the Doctor missing his cue, as well as extra scenes cut from the final programme, can be seen on the DVD.

It was the early Seventies, after all.
* HilariousOuttakes: This is one of the few Doctor Who ''Doctor Who'' stories aired before the end of the BBC's wiping policy in 1978 for which material from the original studio recording exists, so mistakes such as the Doctor missing his cue, as well as extra scenes cut from the final programme, can be seen on the DVD.
