| rdfs:comment | - Behind the scenes, it was important for being Eric Saward's first contribution to the show. Unlike most other cases where the script editor received credit for writing an individual serial, here the script submission came prior to Saward's ascension to the script editor's office. It was essentially the script that landed him the job as script editor, rather than the job which necessitated or allowed his writing of the script.

| abstract | - Behind the scenes, it was important for being Eric Saward's first contribution to the show. Unlike most other cases where the script editor received credit for writing an individual serial, here the script submission came prior to Saward's ascension to the script editor's office. It was essentially the script that landed him the job as script editor, rather than the job which necessitated or allowed his writing of the script. It was also notable for its high ratings. It's one of the very few stories told in the serial format to improve its ratings with every episode. Excluding Dimensions in Time, the final episode is one of only five produced by JNT to have achieved a rating of 10 million viewers or better. Perhaps more tellingly, that episode was the 40th most-watched episode of the week – one of only four occasions when JNT-produced Doctor Who broke into the top 40. Indeed it was the joint third-highest-ranked episode of JNT's tenure, tying with the final episode of Earthshock.
