Storyline

Trivia
This story was intended to be four parts of the usual 25-minute length. However, due to the BBC's coverage of the 1984 Winter Olympics held in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, the series' regular slot was not available. Rather than interrupt transmission, the decision was taken to transmit the story as two double-length episodes (45 minutes per episode), on consecutive Wednesdays rather than season 21's normal Thursday/Friday timeslot. It is often asserted that it was directly because of the success of the two-part experiment that the following season was produced in the same format: however, this decision had already been taken.

Goofs
Whilst up to this point in Dr. Who, portrayal of the British Army (& it's troops seconded to UNIT) had been accurately armed, the soldiers here have a Steyr AUG assault rifle amongst their L1A1 rifles and Browning pistols - a weapon never used by regular or special British forces .

Quotes
Davros: The creatures of Earth have no stomach for judicial murder. They prefer to leave you to slowly rot and die. They call it "being humane."
