*Jacqueline Hill does not appear in episodes 4 and 5, though she was still credited on-screen.
*Designer Raymond Cusick used almost all curves in his sets for the Sense Sphere, feeling that this would give a more alien look.

Casting

*Actor and variety performer Peter Glaze appeared as the Third Sensorite. However his familiar face is obscured by his Sensorite mask.
*Arthur Newall also appeared as a Sensorite in this story, not a Dalek as is commonly believed.
*Stephen Dartnell appears as John. He had previously appeared as Yartek in "The Keys of Marinus".
*John Bailey, who plays the Commander, returned to the series to play Edward Waterfield in "The Evil of the Daleks" and Sezom in "The Horns of Nimon".
