Trivia
This was the last Doctor Who serial to use 16mm film for scenes on location instead of video. It was a practice that had been in place since The Reign of Terror in 1964 and was common in many other British television productions, although it had been falling out of favour since the start of the 1980s.

Goofs
When Natasha fires her laser pistol at the Stengos mutant, she doesn't hold it steady (while the post-production laser effect remains steady as a rock, and clearly not emitting from the muzzle of the pistol).

Quotes
Vogel: Be seated, gentlemen.
Orcini: We prefer to stand.
Kara: Of course. How foolish. As men of action, you must be like coiled springs - alert, ready to pounce.
Orcini: Nothing so romantic. I have an artificial leg with a faulty hydraulic valve. When seated the valve is inclined to jam.

Not the best episode I have seen.

I will be honest as an avid whovian.

This is possibly one of the weakest story lines that I have seen.

It just seemed like the whole process was a chore.

There are not many good points tho marvel over and well it is disappointing.

Not much more to say and to be honest I can understand why there was a hiatus. The story of the daleks is a great one to say the least. But this was not so. It just dragged on and well we know the great Dalek stories that have been written and this was not so. It pains me to say this but I am saddened at the lack of effort put into this episode.
