** The story grew out of one of Marc Platt's earlier ideas, an ambitious script called ''Lungbarrow''. Set on Gallifrey in the Doctor's ancestral home, it would've been the culmination of the "[[Creator/AndrewCartmel Cartmel Masterplan]]", a sort-of-MythArc that the script editor had been putting mysterious references throughout his time on the show. Creator/JohnNathanTurner turned down the story, mostly because of how much of a WhamEpisode it would've been. Some elements were kept though, such as Mackenzie, the trapped policeman.
** In the scene where the Doctor demands of Light "Why don't you forget the survey, Light, and ''go''?" the intention was that CGI effects would be added to show Light attacking him. Then they weren't, so it looks like the Doctor is pulling faces for no reason.
** An [[ReCut extended cut]] was considered for the 2004 DVD release, but the restoration team decided not to go ahead with it due to most of the deleted scenes only existing as a VHS copy with a burnt-in timecode. Ultimately averted with the 2020 Blu-ray's "extended workprint", which reinstates the cut VHS footage and blurs out the timecode. This goes some way to clearing up the story's impenetrable nature.

** Some elements of the original "Lungbarrow" script were reimagined for the new setting; for instance Mackenzie, the policeman in suspended animation had originally been a character trapped in a transporter for three centuries, while Redvers Fenn-Cooper's invitation to Buckingham Palace had earlier been a will for which characters were vying.

This explains why he is hurrying and muttering about Gabriel Chase being "a mad house" just prior to his death at Light's hands. Several more scenes were cut or trimmed in post-production due to the serial running overlength. These included Nimrod resigning his position, Light preventing Mackenzie from leaving Gabriel Chase by causing the door to become bolted, and material expanding on the spy devices Josiah has secreted in the upper observatory where the TARDIS materialises.
** During the early stages of his development, Light was silent and had wings (which he used to smother the maid in episode three); the latter element was abandoned due to concerns that they could not be effectively realised.
