| 1 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Vorg is played by Creator/LeslieDwyer, who would later be best known for playing Mr. Partridge in ''Series/HiDeHi''. |
| 2 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: |
| 3 | ** There's a moment in Part 4 when an Inter Minorian's bald cap completely slips loose. Director Barry Letts considered this so bad that he recut the ending for the 1981 repeat, removing most of Vorg's ShellGame. [[note]]This version was used for the VHS release, but the [=DVD=] and Blu-ray use the broadcast version with the "alternate ending" as a bonus feature.[[/note]] |
| 4 | ** The Drashigs are excellent monsters...when they're on film. They are considerably let down by the videotape work and CSO in the fourth episode. |
| 5 | ** For some reason, rather than just using stock footage of a ship, the S.S. ''Bernice'' is represented via a still photo superimposed on some footage of an empty sea. |
| 6 | * ValuesResonance: |
| 7 | ** Vorg and Shirna getting stuck in a nightmarish airport security line due to xenophobia and ending up scapegoated as terrorists in a political coup works a lot better in the post-UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror era of zealous airport security and refugees being blamed for terrorist attacks. |
| 8 | ** The Doctor's disgust with the Miniscope, as a collection of living beings kept captive and put on display purely for profit-driven entertainment, resonates with a lot more viewers following the movements to reform zoos and discontinue the use of animal acts in circuses. |
