Story Notes

 * Paul Darrow of Blake's 7 fame makes a guest appearance as Tekker, his second guest appearance in Doctor Who. He had previously appeared in Doctor Who and the Silurians as Captain Hawkins. Colin Baker had previously appeared in the Blake's 7 episode "City at the End of the World".
 * This serial makes several references to Wells's novels: The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and The Island of Doctor Moreau.
 * At the end of this story, the Borad is thrown back in time (to 12th century Scotland); the Doctor speculates that the Borad will become the Loch Ness Monster. This would appear to contradict Terror of the Zygons, which established the legendary creature as a cyborg weapon of the Zygons.
 * This story makes reference to a previously unseen adventure where the Third Doctor, Jo Grant and an unnamed second companion (most likely Captain Mike Yates) visited Karfel. This adventure has yet to appear in any of the spin-off media although the Virgin Missing Adventures novel Speed of Flight by Paul Leonard mentions that the Third Doctor and his companions are on their way to Karfel at the start of that particular story.
 * A novelisation of this serial, written by Glen McCoy, was published by Target Books in December 1985.
 * The music for this story was provided by Elizabeth Parker who had formerly contributed special sound for Blake's 7.
