*Working titles for this story include "Operation" and "The Ribos File".
*Elisabeth Sladen, who as Sarah Jane Smith was last seen in "The Hand of Fear", was approached to return to the series as a replacement for Leela (who had left in "The Invasion of Time"). When Sladen declined the offer, the character of Romana was created instead.
*Prentis Hancock has previously appeared in the Spearhead From Space and Planet of the Daleks (with Jon Pertwee) and Planet of Evil series of Doctor Who.
*The opening scene, with the White Guardian, was actually written by Anthony Read, and not Robert Holmes.
*As a result of Baker's accident with the dog, several of his scenes had to be filmed from his right profile, to disguise the injury.
