Trivia
====================================
It was at one point considered writing out William Hartnell as the Doctor in this story, but the idea was vetoed by BBC Management.
In "The Hall of Dolls", whilst deciding which of the seven chairs – six of which are deadly, while one remains safe – to choose, the King of Hearts recites a politically incorrect version of the children's counting rhyme "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" (used to select a person to be 'it' for games and similar purposes), which includes the racial slur "nigger" in the second line. On BBC Audio's CD release of the story, this offending section has been obscured by placing part of Peter Purves's narration over the top.
Parts 1, 2 & 3 are presented as audio track reconstructions.
