#Features a guest appearance by [[Michael Gough]] as the Celestial Toymaker. Gough would return to the programme to play [[Time Lord]] Councillor Hedin in the [[Fifth Doctor]] serial, ''[[Arc of Infinity]]''. See also [[Celebrity appearances in Doctor Who]].

#All episodes of this story, except Episode 4, are missing from the [[BBC]] archives. Episode 4 was released on [[DVD]] in the [[UK]] in November of [[2004]] in a three-disc set titled ''Doctor Who - Lost in Time: A Collection of Rare Episodes''.

#Brian Hayles was unavailable to do neccesary rewrites, so then-script editor [[Donald Tosh]] performed them. As Tosh would no longer be script editor by the time the story was transmitted, he agreed with Hayles to take the writer's credit, with Hayles being credited for the idea. After Tosh finished work on the scripts, his successor, Gerry Davis was forced to make further rewrites due to a budget shortfall. Tosh was unhappy with the rewrites and refused to be credited, while Davis could not take a credit because he was the series' script editor. As a result of this, Hayles was the sole credited author on the final serial, despite the fact that he had not worked on it in three months and the final scripts bore little to no resemblance to what he wrote.

#In episode 2, the King of Hearts recites a version of the children's rhyme [[Eeny, meeny, miny, moe]] which includes the word [[nigger]]. On the audio release, the offending word is masked by Peter Purves's narration.
