The final story of Season 11 (to have been titled The Final Game) was originally intended to write out the character of the Master, with the villainous Time Lord sacrificing his life to save the Doctor. Due to the death of actor Roger Delgado, script editor Terrance Dicks abandoned the project in favour of a new story, which eventually evolved into Planet of the Spiders. The railway station Sarah Jane arrives at in Part One is Mortimer railway station, near Reading.

Famous quotes containing the word production:

    “The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”
    —Ernest Gellner (b. 1925)

    “[T]he asphaltum contains an exactly requisite amount of sulphides for production of rubber tires. This brown material also contains “ichthyol,” a medicinal preparation used externally, in Webster’s clarifying phrase, “as an alterant and discutient.””
    —State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
