Trivia
====================================
This is Katy Manning's final story. However, she would reprise her role thirty-seven years later in the Death of the Doctor (Sarah Jane, Season 4). In that episode, she shows disappointment that the Doctor is now traveling with a married couple in the TARDIS, saying that she only left the Doctor because she got married, suggesting that she would have continued to travel with the Doctor if he had allowed her to bring Professor Jones. Stewart Bevan (who plays Cliff Jones, Jo Grant's 'love interest') was Katy Manning's boyfriend at the time of shooting.
The Brigadier takes a phone call from the Prime Minister, who is named as 'Jeremy'. This was a joke by the production team intended to suggest that the Liberal Party, then led by Jeremy Thorpe, could win the next General Election; Thorpe, of course, was never Prime Minister.
Some of the giant maggots were created from inflated condoms.
The consequences of the Doctor's journey to Metebelis III are followed up in Planet of the Spiders.
