Trivia:

Early scripts concerned the 3 Doctors joining forces to combat various incarnations of Evil, including zombies and the goddess Kali, though this was modified after the poor health of William Hartnell prevented him from playing a more active role. Other suggestions included a role for Frazer Hines reprising Jamie McCrimmon (which was abandoned as he had prior commitments to "Emmerdale Farm" (1972)) and a possible cameo for Wendy Padbury as Zoe Herriot.

Quotes:

The Doctor: Well, Sergeant? Aren't you going to say that it's bigger on the inside than on the outside? Everybody else does.
Benton: Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
