** While his overall opinion of the story was quite positive despite its notoriously unforgiving shooting schedule, director Peter Grimwade absolutely ''hated'' Malcolm Clarke's incidental score for the serial, and tried to get Peter Howell, whom Grimwade had worked with on "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E3Kinda Kinda]]" earlier that season, to provide a replacement. Howell wasn't available, however, resulting in the story retaining Clarke's score.

* HostilityOnTheSet: The demands of the shooting schedule caused director Peter Grimwade to frequently come into conflict with the cast, leading to writer Eric Saward later joking that if the prop guns given to the actors had been real guns, Grimwade would have been lucky to survive until the end of the first day of shooting.

* UncreditedRole: In addition to writing the story, Creator/EricSaward also served as script editor. However, he went uncredited due to BBC guidelines preventing him from taking credit for more roles than what he had been assigned, and thus Antony Root, who previously acted as script editor for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E2FourToDoomsday "Four to Doomsday"]] and Saward's earlier story [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E4TheVisitation "The Visitation"]], was credited for the position instead.
Added DiffLines:
** From the outset, Creator/JohnNathanTurner intended to bring back a recurring villain for the story, and the rest of the production team briefly considered the Daleks for this position. However, he was reluctant to use them, and consequently had them swapped out for the Cybermen, a personal favorite of writer Creator/EricSaward. The Daleks would eventually get their clash against the Fifth Doctor in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E4ResurrectionOfTheDaleks "Resurrection of the Daleks"]] (also written by Saward).

* {{Corpsing}}: Creator/JanetFielding and Creator/SarahSutton suffered an attack of the giggles while they were filming the final scene, in which their characters were supposed to be grieving for Adric. Fortunately, they eventually managed to regain their composure, enabling the scene to be filmed; the incident is recounted in the "making of" documentary on the DVD.

** The original serial for the slot was the wonderfully ambitious "The Enemy Within" by [[Creator/ChristopherPriestNovelist Christopher Priest]] (featuring the Doctor facing off with the TARDIS' power source, a tentacled EldritchAbomination!) but an argument over re-write fees led to Creator/JohnNathanTurner rejecting it and Eric Saward had to write the serial to replace it. Traces of the danger-at-the-centre-of-the-TARDIS idea made it into "Castrovalva", where it was intended as foreshadowing of Priest's story to come.
