History Trivia / DoctorWhoS14E4TheFaceOfEvil

** Creator/RobertHolmes suggested that Leela possess some sort of supernatural powers, which he thought might be inherited from a witch-priestess grandmother. Creator/ChrisBoucher was not fond of this idea, and instead opted to grant her a sort of sixth sense for danger.

* NamesTheSame: Despite what the title might have you believe, Xoanon does ''not'' wish to [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames make the Doctor's face the GRRRRRRRRREATEST in Korodai]]. Though there ''is'' the risk that the Doctor might [[MemeticMutation DIE]].

* RealitySubtext: The Doctor's reluctance to take on Leela as his new companion becomes more fun knowing that Creator/TomBaker really did want the Doctor to continue travelling alone for a while.

* ThrowItIn[=/=]WagTheDirector:
** You know the "deadly Jelly Baby" scene? That only happened because Creator/TomBaker refused to go along with the original, scripted version which involved a brawl with a knife. Baker found the idea of the Doctor threatening someone with a knife to simply be too crude for the character. The end result seemed to be for the better, given how the Doctor's wielding of a menacing gelatinous fruit snack has now become a SignatureScene for Baker's tenure.
** When Leela gets an electric shock while brainwashed, Baker grasps hold of Creator/LouiseJameson's chest as he helps her to a seat. It could have been accidental on Baker's part (certainly not something the Doctor would do intentionally), and in any case Jameson never breaks character. They probably didn't want to reshoot the scene to undo the accidental grope, or it's possible none of the production crew spotted it at all.

* InspirationForTheWork: Creator/ChrisBoucher was inspired by many of the science-fiction stories he had adored since childhood: ''Literature/BraveNewWorld'' influenced Boucher's ideas about how the Sevateem religion had evolved, while he drew upon Creator/HarryHarrison's 1969 novel ''Captive Universe'' for the element of an insane computer.
