* Working titles for this story included "The Wasting" and "The Vampire Mutations".
* The serial was a re-written version of a story called "The Witch Lords" which Dicks had submitted to the series in 1977, but which had been pulled just before production and replaced with "Horror of Fang Rock".
* This was one of two serials to feature a highly improved K-9 prop. The other was "Warriors' Gate".

Commercial releases

*This story was released on VHS in October 1997. On the video, one tiny scene is omitted that was previously on the TVOntario version. In Part 4, K-9 is perched on the thrones of Zargo & Camilla, determining the moment when the Doctor is activating the scout ship. When he tells the rebels to evacuate the Tower, a rebel lifts him down and they escape.
*A DVD commentary with Terrance Dicks, Matthew Waterhouse and Peter Moffatt has been recorded and a release planned for January 2009.
