** There was discussion on how the Brigadier would leave the show. One idea was to have him sacrifice himself to call in an air strike, and his death would satisfy the Destroyer. Another alternative ending was having him depart with the knights back to their home dimension.

** The Destroyer of Worlds was envisioned as appearing as a well-dressed human man who later metamorphoses into a more monstrous form. To simplify the narrative, it was decided that the Destroyer should only appear in the latter guise. Similarly, the knights were intended to be dressed in futuristic combat gear that only looked like traditional armour at a glance, but this was dropped on the basis of cost.
** In the original version, Bambera was an American captain acting on behalf of a joint US-European initiative codenamed "Camelot". Another key supporting character was Lavender Warmington, director of a heritage group called the Carbury Trust, while the Asian student befriended by Ace was named Thai. Ace herself wielded a newly-constructed sonic screwdriver. Morgaine ensorcelled Ace and planned to sacrifice her to the demon she raised -- otherwise, the demon would eradicate all life on Earth, thereby sealing the portal between this dimension and Morgaine's, and trapping A'tur. Lethbridge-Stewart called in an airstrike against the demon, and was mortally wounded; his death satisfied the demon, who then departed. Bambera killed Mordred to save Ancelyn, and a reawakened A'tur arrived, offering to bring Mordred back to life in return for Morgaine's obeisance. Bambera accompanied Ancelyn back to his dimension, while the Doctor would then continue travelling through time and space in honour of Lethbridge-Stewart.

* {{Blooper}}: At the end of the {{cliffhanger}} where Ace is stuck in a water tank you can faintly hear Creator/SylvesterMcCoy shouting "get her out!" This is because the special effect had malfunctioned, the glass had cracked and the water was approaching some exposed wires taped to the floor. [=McCoy=] noticed and shouted at the crew to get her out, after swearing so they knew he wasn't in character. If he hadn't intervened [[FatalMethodActing Sophie Aldred would have been electrocuted]]; as it is, she escaped with just some cuts to her hands from touching the cracked glass.

* FatalMethodActing: Averted within a hair's breadth with Creator/SophieAldred. The water-tank booby trap Ace is trapped in wound up cracking under the water pressure[[note]] Probably helped by Aldred being told to bang on the glass in panic [[/note]] and very nearly electrocuted her. She was only saved by the fact that Creator/SylvesterMcCoy noticed, [[PrecisionFStrike swore briefly so that no one thought he was ad-libbing]] and yelled for the effects team to get her out. It later turned out that the tank's glass had not been made thick enough by the supplier from outside the BBC. The whole incident was filmed and later used in a BBC studio safety film. The footage was also used in a short documentary which can be found on the DVD release of this story.
