Trivia
====================================
The story was influenced by the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and would be the last Terry Nation script for Doctor Who for four years until his final script for the series, Destiny of the Daleks (1979). This was the first non-Dalek story scripted by Nation since 1964's The Keys of Marinus and was his only other foray away from his most famous creations.
Kenneth Williams noted this story in his diaries, writing that Doctor Who was getting "more and more silly."
This marks the first appearance of the Fourth Doctor's seldom-seen light grey overcoat.
