Trivia
====================================
Vraxoin was originally called 'xylophilin' or 'zip', but was changed so as not to sound appealing to children. Lalla Ward strongly supported this change.
This story had the working title of Nightmare of Evil.
This would be the last time that Bob Baker wrote for the televised Doctor Who franchise until Mind Snap in 2010.
According to accounts by visual effects designer Colin Mapson and assistant floor manager Val McCrimmon, director Alan Bromly simply didn't understand how to direct the program efficiently — and wasn't interested in learning. Consequently he was removed from the project by producer Graham Williams in the midst of principal photography. Williams himself finished the project.
Mapson, longtime veteran of the program, flatly called it "without doubt, the most disastrous Doctor Who I've ever been involved in". When production finally wrapped, crew members were presented with T-shirts saying, "I'm Relieved the Nightmare is Over".
