Despite its brevity, the serial boasted a few milestones. It was the first (and only) contribution by its writer and director. It offered the first outing of the Fifth Doctor's second costume, most notably differentiated by an obviously altered cricketing jumper. It was the first time in the show's history that the Doctor set his TARDIS on course to meet a member of a companion's family — in this case, Tegan's grandfather. It was also the final story designed by Barry Newbery, one of Verity Lambert's original designers.

| - Despite its brevity, the serial boasted a few milestones. It was the first (and only) contribution by its writer and director. It offered the first outing of the Fifth Doctor's second costume, most notably differentiated by an obviously altered cricketing jumper.

It was also the final story designed by Barry Newbery, one of Verity Lambert's original designers. Unusually, this serial had a certain measure of infamy in Britain for one of its out-takes from part two, in which a horse-drawn carriage was seen to apparently destroy a lychgate. The scene became one of the few Doctor Who out-takes to actually be broadcast on the BBC, and was also seen internally on BBC safety videos as an example of how not to film scenes involving animals. (DCOM: The Awakening) Naturally, for the transmitted version of the episode the sequence cut before the disaster.
