Notes

• This was supposed to be a two parter (in combination with the prior episode), but Terry Nation was unable to deliver scripts at the time.
• The last episode for Gareth Thomas as Roj Blake as a series regular. He would make a cameo in Season 3’s “Terminal” as well as the series finale (“Blake“), however.
• The last episode for Sally Kynvette as Jenna Stannis – she is not seen again after this.
• The last episode for both Brian Croucher and Travis, as Travis is killed in this episode.
• The invading force was supposed to be the Daleks (according to Terry Nation), but the show producers were not in favor of this idea.
• Gareth Armstrong plays Parton.  He appeared in Doctor Who’s “The Masque of Mandragora” (along with Zen/Orac’s Peter Tuddenham).
