Working titles for this story included Nightmare of Evil. This story would be the final Doctor Who serial written by Bob Baker, who worked on it alone.
Alan Bromly is credited with directing this story, but he quit partway through filming as a result of a vehement dispute with Tom Baker. As a result, Producer Graham Williams wound up having to complete the director's duties uncredited. The unpleasantness of this whole incident led Williams to decide that he wished to leave the series. Bromly never directed another story for the series and in fact went into full retirement soon afterwards.
