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:

Benton: What do we do now?
The Second Doctor: Keep it confused. Feed it with useless information. I wonder if I have a television set handy?
