Trivia
The Third Doctor previously faced giant spiders in the season 11 final story "Planet of the Spiders". Planet of the Spiders: Part One (1974) through Planet of the Spiders: Part Six (1974).

Goofs
While it is likely that arachnid book lungs would not provide sufficient oxygen to maintain life in a spider the size of the 'mother', it is equally likely that spiders as massive as her brood would not be able to walk on ceilings.

Quotes
The Doctor: I eat danger for breakfast.
[pause]
The Doctor: I don't. I prefer cereal. Or croissants.

Laughable!

Bad CGI, bad writing, a cringe-worthy attempt at political satire aimed at Donald Trump and the title pun from the episode was stolen from British B-horror movie Spidarlings: Arachny in the U.K. One of the worst Dr Who episodes ever.
