Trivia
====================================
This story had the working title The Sea Silurians.
The scene involving the Master watching Clangers was a last-minute addition, added because the first episode was missing ninety seconds of the standard run time.
This is one of only nine televised stories in the history of Doctor Who not to feature the TARDIS.
This is one of two stories where the Third Doctor utters the full line "I reversed the polarity of the neutron flow". The other is in The Five Doctors.
