* {{Narm}}: As with several of Creator/MalcolmHulke's other ''Doctor Who'' stories, often the episodes don't end on anything that can really be described as a cliffhanger, instead just stopping at the 25-minute mark. It's most pronounced with the ending to episode 4, which tries to make something dramatic out of an Ogron sitting around and observing a screen.

It's most pronounced with the ending to episode 4, which tries to make something dramatic out of an Ogron sitting around and observing a screen. This was partly because the timing was wrong on almost every episode, meaning many of the scripted cliffhangers were replaced with moments that matched what the episode duration should be. The intended Episode 4 cliffhanger was the Draconians capturing the Doctor, Jo and the Master and threatening them with execution.

* FoeYay: Jo becomes a bit of a ShipperOnDeck:
-->I really do think you ought to be a bit more reasonable with the Master. I mean, he keeps offering you a share in the galaxy, or whatever's going on, and you keep refusing him and playing dirty tricks on him. But, you see, the trouble is with you is, well, you're so stiff-necked. I mean, you've got to realise that this time...

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The Draconians, with striking, elaborate, individualised and expressive faces, are the best looking aliens the show would manage for decades. They were Creator/JonPertwee's favourite monster, as he recalls an event where he'd been talking to an actor and found himself forgetting he had a mask on.

* ValuesResonance: Early in the story it's implied that active membership in the "Peace Party", and potentially even just voicing support for the party, is an imprisonable offence. While this was likely intended on a commentary on the treatment received by British pacifists during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI and UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, and possibly also contemporary opponents of UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar, it struck another chord during UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror, where speaking out against the invasions of Afghanistan and/or Iraq was for a while a one-way ticket to social ostracisation and potentially even career ruination.
