Doctor Who

Spearhead From Space - S7-E1

Trivia: This serial is the first of only two classic Doctor Who stories to be recorded entirely on film as opposed to videotape; this was an emergency measure necessitated by the unavailability of studios due to industrial action at the BBC. It was also the first ever Doctor Who adventure to be filmed in colour (contrary to popular myth, no 1960s episodes of Doctor Who were shot in colour).

Inferno - S7-E4

Trivia: A stuntman received a bad leg injury in episode 3 when he was hit by the car Jon Pertwee was driving. Jon felt so bad about it that he became ill himself, which threatened to disrupt filming. (Source: DVD commentary).

Earthshock - S19-E6

Question: In Earthshock, season 19, at the end of episode 3, the Cyber Leader views his troops marching down the corridor. Each column is headed by a Cyber Leader. Is this a mistake, or is there more than one Cyber Leader allowed per army?

Answer: In 'The Five Doctors', three separate Cyberleaders are definitely used. So it's likely that Cyberleaders are like unit commanders, of which a fair-sized army might have several.
