- Revealing Mistake: When Orcini shoves Davros (after he's been shot by Bostock), the control panel behind him leans with his weight. edit »
- Revealing Mistake: Bad compositing causes Orcini's leg to be seen through Davros' chair when the latter is torturing him. edit »
- Continuity: When Tasambeker stabs Jobel, the syringe plunger is open. In the next shot, the plunger is all the way in. edit »
- Plot Hole: The Doctor talks to Natasha and Grigory about Davros even though none of them knows that Davros is the Great Healer. edit »
- Some of Davros' words are inaudable. edit »
- In January of 2005, Big Finish Productions released The Juggernauts, which bridges the gap between Revelation and Remembrance of the Daleks. Featuring the Sixth Doctor and Mel, the adventure makes direct reference to Necros, explains how Davros got away from trial by the Daleks, replaces his missing hand with a mechanical prosthesis, places him in a new chair based on a white Dalek and leaves him with an irreparably damaged body at the end. As ever, the story's ending leaves little logical room for Davros to have survived, since his self-destruct mechanism detonates, destroying the colony in a nuclear explosion! edit »
- The clear Dalek incubator maturing human heads into new Dalek organisms is a reference to an unused element originally intended for the very first Dalek story in 1963. A glass Dalek was to be used to show the creatures mutating inside into new Dalek casing operators. This proved to be too much for the budget, so, it was never constructed. It is, however, used in the novelisation Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks, as the printed word has few budgetary limitations. edit »
- Davros is seen levitating in this episode, sowing the seeds that would eventually abolish the old myth that Daleks could not climb stairs in Remembrance of the Daleks. edit »
- In a piece for the Dalek history in The Official Doctor Who and the Daleks Book by John Peel and Terry Nation, Davros is simply tried and exterminated on Skaro after the events in this episode. That book was written before
Davros returned in Remembrance of the Daleks, so must be considered incorrect.. edit » - In Doctor Who Magazine, the comic strip Emperor of the Daleks provided an explanation of the events following this episode. Davros' missing hand was replaced with a mechanical claw and he revived the frozen Dalek army on Spiridon from Planet of the Daleks. edit »
- Jobell: You know, if the statue had been made of stone, I doubt it would have killed you.
The Doctor: Really?
Jobell: No. It would take a mountain to crush an ego like yours. edit »
