Behind the scenes
At the time The Dæmons was produced, only two BBC television channels were in operation, the existence of a BBC 3 was intended to suggest a future timeframe (see UNIT dating controversy).

In the winter of 1964-1965, there was a satirical programme entitled BBC-3, a successor to satirical shows That Was The Week That Was and Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life (which had David Frost as host), notable for being the programme where during a debate on censorship, theatre critic Kenneth Tynan became the first person to say the f-word on British television. In the real world, 1970s plans did exist for a third BBC analogue network, but were ultimately shelved in favour of the IBA's second network Channel 4. In the 1980s, there was a children's programme, Roland Rat: The Series, which was ostensibly set on BBC3.

In the script for the ultimately unproduced 1993 film The Dark Dimension, a BBC3 news reporter named Tony McCabe is said to have been killed at Oxford Circus.
