] This serial was written as a replacement for "The Dream Spinner" by Paul Wheeler, which for technical reasons was dropped at a late stage in production.

Patrick Troughton, Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury were all away on location filming "The War Games" during the production of episode six and appear only in pre-filmed inserts. Thus, this is the only 1960s episode (except for the 1965 story "Mission to the Unknown") to have none of the regulars present for a studio recording.

Missing episodes

All episodes of this story, except Episode 2 — preserved as a 35mm film telerecording — are missing from the BBC archives. Pre-filmed inserts from Episode 1 also exist, as well as the audio soundtrack for all episodes.

In 1998, an episode of this story was discovered in the collection of an amateur video enthusiast from the south of England. The episode is the earliest known existing off-air domestic videotape recording of an episode of "Doctor Who", but unfortunately was of the already-existing Episode Two.
