    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      While filming the climax, Barry Letts was misinformed as to the best way to record these sequences, a problem compounded when the film became jammed in the camera. This sorely limited the number of shots Letts could use in the finished programme.
    • Goofs
      When Jamie brings "the Doctor" (Salamander) inside the TARDIS, the interior of the TARDIS prop is visible in the exterior shots, rather than the control room that should be there.
    • Quotes
      • [last lines]
      • [the Doctor's hands hover of the TARDIS controls uncertainly, then his right goes to his head again as his left gestures to Jaime to do it]
      • Jamie: Me, Doctor?
      • [Jaime places his hand on a dial to turn it, then hesitates]
      • Jamie: But you said we were never to touch the controls.
      • Dr. Who: Quite right, Jaime.
      • [the Doctor whips around to see the REAL Doctor at the doors]
      • Dr. Who: [dressed normally] Welcome to the TARDIS.
      • Salamander: Thank you. You were doing so well impersonating me I... I thought I might return the compliment.
      • Dr. Who: And Giles Kent?
      • Salamander: Unfortunately didn't survive the explosion.
      • Dr. Who: We're going to put you outside, Salamander. No friends, no safety, nothing. You'll run, but they'll catch up with you.
      • [Salamander grabs for the controls...]
      • Dr. Who: No!
      • [... whips back around to gut-punch the Doctor, then pins him against the console]
      • Salamander: [face to face with the Doctor] And now I'm going to kill you.
      • Jamie: No, you don't.
      • [Jaime grabs Salamander from behind. Salamander elbows Jaime, grabs at the control Jaime touched, and twists it hard, starting dematerialization without first closing the doors. The TARDIS tilts violently. The Doctor and Victoria are thrown toward the heavy chair]
      • Victoria: Doctor!
      • Dr. Who: [grabs at the chair and Victoria] Victoria!
      • Victoria: Doctor!
      • Dr. Who: Jaime! Hold on to something!
      • [Jaime grabs the base of a plinth. Salamander screams as he slides across the floor, through the doors...]
      • Dr. Who: Jaime! Oh!
      • [... and out of the TARDIS, tumbling unprotected into the time vortex]
