Trivia
====================================
This story had the working titles of The Pandora Machine, Man Hours, The Pandora Box, The Pandora's Box.
The production team jokingly named the Chinese dragon "Puff the Magic Dragon".
The Doctor alludes to Inferno: "I saw an entire world consumed by fire." (both stories were written by Don Houghton)
The Master's greatest fear (of the Doctor looming over him) becomes real - to a limited extent - in Last of the Time Lords. The Doctor does not become large and laugh menacingly at him at that time. He is pointedly forgiving of him, in fact. However, both contain the underlying themes of an all-powerful Doctor and the psychological defeat involved in dispelling the Master's superiority complex.
