Trivia
When originally recorded on 15 Nov 63, the first episode of this Doctor Who story ('The Dead Planet') was found to be unsuitable for broadcast due to the soundtrack picking up interference from the assistant director's headphones. The episode was re-recorded on 6 Dec 63, which forced the production of all subsequent episodes (from episode 4 onwards) to be delayed a week. See more...
