| 1 | * CreatorBacklash: Creator/MarkStrickson thought the leper colony idea was sick, while Creator/PeterDavison and Creator/SarahSutton thought it didn't go anywhere. |
| 2 | * EnforcedMethodActing: Creator/SarahSutton cried real tears when she hugged Creator/JanetFielding during her goodbye scene. |
| 3 | * PopCultureUrbanLegends: It was rumoured that this story was supposed to see the return of the Ice Warriors. These turned out to be false. |
| 4 | * ThrowItIn: Originally, the Doctor and Nyssa were supposed to shake hands as they parted, but Creator/PeterDavison and Creator/SarahSutton decided that she should kiss him on the cheek instead. |
| 5 | * TroubledProduction: |
| 6 | ** The production was fraught with technical difficulties, including problems with costumes, delays due to electrical problems, and an mis-built set. This was coupled with the growing frustration from director Mary Ridge towards Creator/JohnNathanTurner’s callous attitude. Because of a scheduling dispute, she and the crew had lost a key day of shooting, and were racing against time to finish the story. Meanwhile, JNT was focused on minor details and writer Steve Gallagher clueless in how to extend episodes. The result was that some scenes had to be recorded on improperly-lit sets, production ran seriously late, and several scenes were taped hastily, much to Creator/PeterDavison's frustration. |
| 7 | ** Many scenes were rushed through with only one take and little to no rehearsal, as Ridge had never once exceeded her allotted shooting schedule in her career, and had no intention of losing that record. Which, unfortunately, she did anyway after the various other problems proved too much for to recover from, forcing the team to schedule another couple of days of filming the following week... right after Sarah Sutton's farewell party. |
| 8 | * WagTheDirector: The pilot was supposed to be dressed with cobwebs. Creator/PeterDavison objected, mistakenly believing that he wasn’t dead but moving slow, and Mary Ridge ordered them removed. |
| 9 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 10 | ** Creator/BernardHill, Creator/PatrickStewart and Creator/DavidWarner were considered for Valgard. |
| 11 | ** Creator/BenCross, Creator/PaulDarrow, Creator/MartinJarvis and Creator/SimonWard were considered for Eirak. |
