* ExecutiveMeddling: Despite the intent for this to be the end of the species, Innes Floyd and production assistant Michael Combe were apparently told at different times ''not'' to kill the Daleks. Combe decided to add [[TheEndOrIsIt one of the Dalek emperor’s bulbs still flashing to signify they weren’t completely dead.]]

* ExecutiveMeddling: During filming of the last episode Timothy Combe got a call from Sydney Newman telling him "Don't kill the Daleks". Not wanting to redo the whole thing, Combe had a "bulb" idea that he'd have some of the destroyed Daleks with flashing lights, giving the implication that they were still alive.

* HostilityOnTheSet: There was reportedly some tension during the recording, with some claiming that Derek Martinus was not popular from the cast. This is usually accredited to Creator/FrazerHines overhearing a conversation while hiding in a Dalek casing.



** Creator/TerryNation was unable to write this story, as he was working on getting his Dalek SpinOff made.
** Originally, the Doctor and Edward Waterfield were to travel back to Earth in the year 20,000 BC and retrieve a caveman named Og, from whom the Doctor is to deduce the essence of humanity. The Daleks' plan was to eradicate this quality from every generation of man, thereby eliminating Earth as a threat. Meanwhile, Jamie and Victoria were held hostage on Skaro. The character of Bob Hall was initially called Bill, and was a gangster. Anne Waterfield — probably Victoria's mother — also featured in the plot in the early stages of its gestation.
** Creator/AnnekeWills and Creator/MichaelCraze were both contracted up to Episode 2 of this serial to appear as Polly and Ben. However, it had been decided during the previous serial that the characters would be dropped; consequently both actors had their contracts paid up and were released after Episode 2 of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E8TheFacelessOnes "The Faceless Ones"]].
** There were plans to make Mollie Dawson stay on as a companion before Creator/InnesLloyd decided on Victoria.

** Sonny Caldinez (Kemel) appeared in four more ''Who'' serials after this, albeit clad in a head-to-toe fiberglass Ice Warrior costume. Even if you don't see his face, his very non-English name sticks out in the credits.
