Trivia: During filming, Tom Baker (The Doctor) was bitten on the left side of his upper lip by a dog belonging to Paul Seed (Graff Vyda-K). As a result, publicity stills for "The Ribos Operation" saw Baker wearing a plaster on his face, and for the remainder of filming he required heavy and uncomfortable make-up application to cover the wound. The scar remained visible for much of Season 16.

Revealing mistake: (Ep. 4) After Omega takes off his mask and looks in the mirror, when he sees that his physical body doesn't exist he puts his mask back on and screams, but when he shouts, "If I exist only by my will, then my will is to destroy," Omega's mask pops up off his face, and we can see the actor's blackened face as he shouts the last bit of his dialogue.

Question: In which season and episode is Gallifrey destroyed, or is it just a shocking new plot development for the new series?
Answer: It was never destroyed on-screen; it was intact at the end of the TV movie, and destroyed by the start of the 2005 series. It was destroyed in the novel "The Ancestor Cell," but in a completely different manner to what happened in the series.
