*The story’s working title was "The Wanderers".
*This story was the final televised story written by former "Doctor Who" script editor, Christopher H. Bidmead.
*The actors who played the Tractators were all trained dancers, as the script called for the actors to curl around their victims like woodlice. In the event, the Tractator costumes produced were too inflexible for this to be done.
*It is unstated what happens to Kamelion, who has been inside the TARDIS since "The King's Demons". The writers of "The Discontinuity Guide" theorise that he is disguised as the hatstand.
*The final episode ends on a cliffhanger, with the TARDIS dragged into a time corridor. The episode was followed by a trailer of clips for the following serial, "Resurrection of the Daleks", which continued the story.
*In addition to the death of Peter Arne, production designer Barrie Dobbins committed suicide after finishing most of the preparations for the story. His assistant had to complete Dobbins' work.
