* TroubledProduction: The story (and the one that followed) suffered from Creator/TheBBC slashing the rest of the season's budget due to the economic crisis the UK was suffering, leaving them with barely enough money to build the spaceship set, and nothing to build sets of the caves, or to shoot them on location. As a result, they ended up having to resort to filming all the non-spaceship scenes on a bluescreen, and matte the actors into miniature cave sets. The mood was extremely tense during this time, and Creator/TomBaker's relationship with Creator/LouiseJameson continue to worsen. On top of that, the actress who played Tala had a severe allergic reaction to the makeup used for her. It was a surprise that this wasn't the end of Season 15.
