Trivia
====================================
Terry Nation wrote this story as a replacement to The Red Fort, a story that was to be set during the Indian Mutiny.
William Hartnell does not appear in "The Screaming Jungle" or "The Snows of Terror". The actor was on holiday during the filming of these episodes. Hartnell had been working non-stop from October to April on Doctor Who episodes and needed a well-deserved break. When he returns in "Sentence Of Death" he is more energetic and refreshed. This was the first time the lead actor had been absent in this way; nonetheless, Hartnell receives an on-screen credit for these episodes. His co-stars will also take time off for holiday during production of upcoming stories.
This story contains a controversial scene in which it appears that Vasor attempts to rape Barbara — a sequence which, surprisingly, did not prevent the BBC Video release in 1999 from being granted a "U" certificate.
Initially it was hoped that the Voords would catch on with young viewers in the same way the Daleks had inspired Dalekmania, with toys, books and other merchandise. This did not come to pass.
Although the Voords are the main villains of the story, they appear only in the first and last episodes, "The Sea of Death" and "The Keys of Marinus". To this day, the Voords remain one of the most mysterious of the Doctor's adversaries, as little is revealed about them on-screen and they never returned for a rematch — remaining among the ranks of the series' one-off monsters.
This is the first story to feature a model TARDIS materialization.
The basic format of the story — six separate storylines connected by a quest to retrieve a series of items — was later reused for the season-long Key to Time story arc of Season 16.
In episode 5, the Doctor is heard to stumble over the phrase, "I can't prove at this very moment", saying initially, "I can't improve at this very moment." Although William Hartnell was notorious for stumbling over dialogue (which, due to time and budget restrictions preventing retakes, was often left in the broadcasts), this isn't one of those occasions. According to the DVD trivia track, for some reason, Terry Nation wrote this stumble into the script, which Hartnell delivered accurately.
