*According to the DVD commentary, Mary Tamm herself designed Romana's distinctive purple outfit after the originally planned costume proved unsuitable.
*While "Doctor Who" opening credits are typically ordered story title-author-episode number, this story's order was story title-episode number-author.
*Unnamed in the credits, the atmospheric location work was performed at Leeds Castle, Kent.
*Although Mary Tamm is a skilled horse-rider, she refused to do the horse-riding sequence herself because she could not wear a helmet and felt that the potential of an accident was too great.

Outside references
