Production
Working titles for this story include The Chameleons. This story had its origins in a planned Hartnell story by Hulke-Ellis called The Big Store, in which aliens occupied mannequins in a busy department store, while waiting for human hosts to possess. The idea was adapted for the Troughton era and its setting changed to a metropolitan airport.
Some of The Faceless Ones was filmed on location at Gatwick Airport in March 1967. Heathrow also accepted the production team's offer, but the team chose Gatwick as the cost was lower. Doctor Who would later film at Heathrow for Time-Flight in 1982.
As The Macra Terror, saw the debut of a new title sequence, The Faceless Ones saw the revised arrangement of the theme music that accompanied this new sequence made in Episode 2.
