Notes

• The first episode for both Stephen Greif as Travis and Jacqueline Pearce as Servalan.
• The first time mutoids are mentioned.
• Peter Craze plays Prell in this story.  he player plays “Servalan’s Assistant” in the episode “Sand“.
• Peter is also the real life brother of actor Michael Craze, who was well known for being Ben Jackson, companion to the first and second Doctors in Doctor Who. Both of them have since passed on.
• Secretary Rontane is played by Peter Miles.  He’s more well known in this gene for being Nyder in the Doctor Who story “Genesis of the Daleks“.
• The backstory for Travis here makes him responsible for the deaths of the people on Auron, the planet Cally is from.
• Technically this episode’s title is “Seek-Locate-Destroy” (with the hyphens), but I’ve left that out for spacing concerns on my website.
