Trivia
The Sea Devils appear in two previous stories: The Sea Devils: Episode One (1972) and Warriors of the Deep: Part One (1984). They are cousins of the Silurians, who appear in several other stories.

Goofs
Some of the Chinese characters speak with a Chinese accent while others speak with a British accent. If it is assumed they are all speaking a Chinese dialect but it is being translated through the TARDIS translation matrix for the benefit of Dan, Yaz, the Doctor, and the audience, then they should all have the same accent, either British or Chinese.

Quotes
The Doctor: I mean, that's the problem with history, never anything like the books. Same as Stephen King movies

bad......

Hmm i was hoping this would be good, but it really was'nt , i'm not the avid viewer of dr who i used to be, but it seems they dont have much money now.. the fight scenes were truly abysmal, swords moving about a bit in close up and people dropping dead, it was truly bad, the sword made no actual contact with anyone ! Even puting the sword under someones arm to fake their death would of been better.......... so bad.....
