** More "New Equipment as the Plot Demands", but the Doctor whips out an android detector only in the final part of the story, which would've exposed the entire gambit prematurely if used earlier.



** Sarah Jane realises Android! Doctor isn't the real Doctor when it doesn't react fazed to Android! Sarah coming out of the coffin and advises her not to warn Earth.

** The scrappy, nasty fight between the Doctor and his android replica.



* ImpersonatingTheEvilTwin: The Doctor pretends to be his android double and successfully fools the other androids. He also succeeds in reprogramming his double to assist him, a fact which is only revealed after the double has done a HeroicSacrifice in front of his horrified companion.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: When a pack of dogs have his scent, the Doctor has to jump into a small pond to evade them. Creator/TomBaker performed the stunt for real while on location, and he got a minor throat infection from accidentally taking in some of the water. It wasn't too serious, but his voice sounds a little bit off thereafter.
