Originally the door for a third Mara adventure was to be left open, with closing scenes discussing the ultimate fate of the Great Crystal. Furthermore, a sequence in which the Doctor comforts Tegan had to be removed. The scene was reincorporated into the beginning of the subsequent serial, "
Mawdryn Undead " (1983).
*The success of "Kinda" and this story prompted Script EditorEric Saward to commission Bailey to write a third and final story to feature the Mara: "Manwatch". However, the story was abandoned due to production problems.
*This is one of the very few Doctor Who stories in which no one dies.Cultural references
