| 1 | * EnsembleDarkHorse: Despite only appearing in this one televised story, Brigadier Winifred Bambera is very popular among the fandom due to Creator/AngelaBruce's portrayal of a capable, tough, no-nonsense, authoratative black female high-ranking military officer at a time when such roles were extremely rare. So much so that she would ultimately be brought back by AudioPlay/{{Big Finish|DoctorWho}} decades later for some audio dramas. |
| 2 | * HarsherInHindsight: The Doctor, distraught over the apparent death of the Brigadier, tells him "You should have died in bed!" Fast forward to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E13TheWeddingOfRiverSong The Wedding of River Song]]"... |
| 3 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 4 | ** Ace shouts, "Geronimo" as a battle cry. This would be a [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]] of the Eleventh Doctor. |
| 5 | ** The Brigadier scoffs at the idea of ever needing silver bullets, while the Doctor replies with 'you never know'. Not only would the 7th Doctor himself eventually face vampires, but come "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E2ToothAndClaw Tooth And Claw]]"... |
| 6 | * LesYay: Ace and Shou Yuing bond over a shared love of explosives and at one point are huddled inside a chalk circle clutching a sword. |
| 7 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: |
| 8 | ** The TARDIS "set" is a curtain with yellow circles painted on, as the walls of the usual set had been badly damaged in storage between seasons; the lighting is very low in order to disguise this, with an explanation written into the script that there's a power drain. Fortunately all the other stories in Season 26 had been written without any scenes set in the ship anyway (making this the only appearance of the console room during the final season of the Classic series). |
| 9 | ** Creator/BenAaronovitch cringes at the shot of the Brigadier being blown through the window, as the debris spray didn't happen. |
| 10 | ** The serpent attacking the Doctor is partially represented by shots of the camera being bumped into him. |
| 11 | * SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The Destroyer is one of the best looking monsters of the Classic Series. |
