Production
In a number of 1970s listing guides, the story was called The French Revolution. This appears to derive from a promotional article in the BBC listings magazine Radio Times entitled Dr Who and the French Revolution.
Director Henric Hirsch suffered from exhaustion during the making of this serial, and was unable to direct episode three. John Gorrie (who had previously directed The Keys of Marinus) temporarily stepped in. As no director is credited on-screen for this episode some sources have credited Verity Lambert as director, yet she firmly denied this. William Russell was on a two-week holiday for some of this story (including the above episode); he appeared only in pre-filmed inserts in Episodes 2 and 3. Similarly, in the long shot of the Doctor walking along a country lane (incidentally, the first location footage filmed in the history of the show) a stuntman doubled for William Hartnell, as Hartnell was busy rehearsing for The Sensorites.
