*The working titles for this story were "The Android", "The Demons", "A Knight's Tale" and "Demons Keeper".
*Producer John Nathan-Turner originally wanted the Master to appear in two stories every season. However, due to production problems, he was forced to settle for one Master story per season.
*Part One of this story was billed by the BBC as the six hundredth episode of "Doctor Who".
*Some scenes were filmed on location at Bodiam Castle, which was not built until 1385.

Outside references

*The Master's TARDIS is disguised as an iron maiden. The earliest iron maiden known to historians is the Iron Maiden of Nuremberg, which was built in 1515, 300 years after the setting of this story. Viewers may decide for themselves whether to attribute the anachronism to the chameleon circuit of the Master's TARDIS or the production team.
*The Doctor's claim that King John wanted the Magna Carta as much as his nobles and that he could have defeated the barons easily is historically untrue. John signed the Magna Carta after it became clear that he could not suppress the Baron's Revolt, and immediately appealed to the pope to release him from his oath to support the Charter's terms.
