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).

Visible crew/equipment: (Ep. 2) When The Doctor, Jo, and Dr. Tyler are taken into Omega's palace, in the first shot of the multiple passageways (right before Jo says that it looks like Aladdin's cave) the curved chalk actor's mark is visible on the floor, then we see it again in three following shots. Note that when they're all escorted further inside, just as Dr. Tyler comments about the matter/anti-matter not making sense, Jon Pertwee looks down, presumably to make sure he hits his mark.
The Doctor: This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both.
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.
