* FranchiseOriginalSin: While it remains a fan-favorite, this story introduced a number of traits that would ultimately lead to the show's cancellation at the end of the '80s. ContinuityCreep would first rear its head thanks to the plot relying on elements introduced in three different '60s stories (none of which were re-ran at the time), the story would be [[DarkerAndEdgier much grimmer and more violent]] than many of its predecessors, and the all-film production (the end result of a workers' strike) resulted in an unusually cinematic approach that belied the show's usual low-budget multi-cam nature. While these elements were and still are widely praised for helping refresh the series for a new decade, the Creator/JohnNathanTurner era's attempts at replicating these successes would ultimately lead to overambitious stories that drew accusations of SeasonalRot and [[AudienceAlienatingEra an irreversible ratings decline]].

** A character named [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead Dr. Beavis]] would no doubt provoke a [[AnnoyingLaugh snigger]] from contemporary viewers.

* FridgeHorror: The Nestene Consciousness' plans were to subvert world governments by creating realistic Auton replicas of world leaders and military staff. Absent a cut line (in which the Doctor coordinated with The BBC to broadcast the high-power UHF frequency that kills Autons), how do we know that all the Autons were reliably snapped up? And could there have been other meteor strikes in, say, the United States? Or the USSR? or Communist China?

** The Doctor initially has some noted dissatisfaction with his new face, a fact that becomes very amusing when [[Creator/PatrickTroughton Patrick Troughton's [[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E1TheThreeDoctors return]] [[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors appearances] established that his Doctor persistently had something to bicker about with Pertwee's Doctor. Clearly the last vestiges of his old incarnation was dismayed that he had become who he dreaded!
