Trivia
The script contained a scene where The Doctor replaces his destroyed sonic screwdriver by simply getting a replacement from a room full of the devices in the TARDIS. John Nathan-Turner vetoed this, as he was insistent about removing it from Doctor Who.

Goofs
During the scuffle with the Doctor it is clear that Tegan's bracelet has no power pack in it.

Quotes
Nyssa: [watching Adric trying to fly the TARDIS] Stay calm. Why won't it work?
Adric: Perhaps I'm pushing the wrong buttons.
Nyssa: Maybe she WAS damaged by the booster.
Richard Mace: [watching the TARDIS fade in and out of the manor] What IS this?
The Doctor: It may be the only glimpse you even get of my TARDIS.
Nyssa: Try and think what the Doctor would do if he were here.
Adric: He'd probably get angry.
Nyssa: I said empathize, not be silly.
[Adric thinks for a moment]
Adric: Got it!
[Adric pounds the console with his fist and it works]

6/10

A very average conclusion

Part 3 had been a big disappointment after the very good Parts 1 and 2, could Eric Saward's story be turned around and satisfactorily concluded? Sadly, not really.

The Doctor manages to overcome a possessed Tegan, and outfox Mace halting the release of the deadly rodents. The renegade Terileptil sends the android to capture the TARDIS, fortunately Nyssa has been hard at work and manages to destroy the Android with a device she's created. The Doctor discovers the Terileptil base, a fight breaks out and a fire starts, an interesting take on how the great fire of London started.

Nyssa had been non existent for the last 2 episodes so it's great that she was finally given something to do.

Why have the guards spent most of the episode walking Adric around, is he being given a guided tour? 6/10
