It is further notable as the final appearance of Roger Delgado in Doctor Who before his death. Later in June of 1973, Delgado died in a car accident when the chauffeur-driven vehicle ran off the road and fell into a ravine, during the on-location shoot for the film Bell of Tibet, cancelled following his and two film technician's demises. His character was meant to have a final encounter with the Doctor in the serial The Final Game, which was scrapped, prompting writers to bring the Master back in a decaying form several years later as the main villain of The Deadly Assassin.

| - It is further notable as the final appearance of Roger Delgado in Doctor Who before his death. Later in June of 1973, Delgado died in a car accident when the chauffeur-driven vehicle ran off the road and fell into a ravine, during the on-location shoot for the film Bell of Tibet, cancelled following his and two film technician's demises. His character was meant to have a final encounter with the Doctor in the serial The Final Game, which was scrapped, prompting writers to bring the Master back in a decaying form several years later as the main villain of The Deadly Assassin. The story also saw the first use of a refitted version of the sonic screwdriver model which first debuted in Colony in Space. Instead of a silver emitter ring head, it now sported a red emitter ring head, with the addition of two semi-circular black magnets attached to the end, and the extending section of the screwdriver which once contained a red band and a set of alternating yellow and black coiling stripes was now unpainted in a plainly metallic colour scheme. This model of the sonic screwdriver remained in use by the Doctor all the way up to his fifth incarnation midway through Season 19, where it was written out of the series in The Visitation.
