*Working titles for this story included "Moon of Death" and "Horror of the Swamp".
*When Anthony Read asked Robert Holmes to write the story, there were two requirements: that it include the largest monster in series history and that Holmes minimize the humor that many scripts from the era were known for. The second requirement was a request from higher up at the BBC.
*The actors playing Swampies were colored green with a special water-resistant dye ordered from Germany. Unfortunately, the make-up artist failed to order the special dye remover, with the result that many of the actors had to take chemical baths to get the green dye off, and many had a green tint for a long period after production was finished.Outside references
