Working titles for this story included Dream Time. Warriors' Gate is the only story directed by Paul Joyce. In his attempts to push the boundaries of the show under a limited budget, Joyce frequently clashed with producer John Nathan-Turner. When Joyce was not available, the role of director was taken by production assistant Graeme Harper.

Background photographs utilised in many sequences were taken at Powis Castle, Welshpool.

Famous quotes containing the word production:

    “The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “In the production of the necessaries of life Nature is ready enough to assist man.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)
