*The Quarks were created as an (ultimately unsuccessful) attempt to create a monster with the same merchandising potential as the popular Daleks.
*The pacifist Dulcians were originally conceived as a satire on the 1960s hippie subculture.
*This serial was originally composed of six episodes, but it was deemed too short of content and reduced to five at the last minute. Producer Peter Bryant ordered Haisman and Lincoln to abandon writing the sixth episode and script editor Derrick Sherwin rewrote the fifth episode to provide a conclusion. Haisman and Lincoln were not informed of this, or of the BBC's merchandising of the Quarks, which led to their refusal to write for the series again. Subsequently an additional episode had to be penned for the following "The Mind Robber", making that story five parts.
* Episode 3 had no on-screen episode number caption.
