The location scenes at the Pharos Project were filmed at a BBC receiving station in Crowsley Park, with a model standing in for the radio telescope and not the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank

Titles

The closing titles sequence was recompiled with Tom Baker's face removed from the closing credits of Episode 4, and with Peter Davison's face added for the following story, "Castrovalva".

Episode 4 of this story was the last time, for the next 24 years, the lead character was listed in the credits as "Doctor Who" (thus making it the only time Peter Davison was credited as "Doctor Who" ). Beginning with the next story, "Castrovalva", until the series' cancellation in 1989, the character was credited simply as "The Doctor". The 1996 television film did not have an on-screen credit for the Eighth Doctor, but listed the Seventh as the "Old Doctor". The 2005 relaunch returned the credit to "Doctor Who", and then again to "The Doctor" in "The Christmas Invasion" (at the request of David Tennant).

Also, Episode 4 was the first to credit two actors as "Doctor Who" or "The Doctor" when a regeneration scene was involved. It also happened at the end of Episode 4 of "The Caves of Androzani". In both instances, Peter Davison was billed second.

Outside references

The key plot point of shunting excess entropy into another universe was previously used in Isaac Asimov's novel "The Gods Themselves".

According to Christopher Bidmead, the Logopolitans employ a hexadecimal, or base-16, numerical system, a real system commonly used in computer programming. When Adric and the Monitor read strings of numbers and letters, the letters are actually the numbers between 10 and 16, expressed as single digits

Commercial releases

The story was released on VHS in March 1992. In January 2007, the serial was released on DVD as part of a trilogy, entitled "New Beginnings", alongside "The Keeper of Traken" and "Castrovalva". DVD commentary is provided by actors Tom Baker and Janet Fielding, with writer Christopher H. Bidmead.

In print

A novelisation of this serial, written by Christopher H. Bidmead, was published by Target Books in October 1982. In this version, Bidmead changed the events leading up to the regeneration, so the Doctor is hanging onto the cable, and gives his life while saving the universe by unplugging it.
