All four episodes of this story exist in the BBC archives. As of now, it's the final complete serial of the First Doctor's run, and the only complete serial (without animated reconstruction) to feature Ben and Polly. It's notable as the first instance of the "Yeti on your loo in Tooting Bec" story which would become increasingly prominent in the Creator/PatrickTroughton era and come to define the Creator/JonPertwee era, with various baddies running around recognisably modern-day London and haunting major London landmarks. It's also notable as taking place on the same day (July 20, 1966) as Ben and Polly's last story, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E8TheFacelessOnes "The Faceless Ones"]].

* OutOfGenreExperience: This is a First Doctor story that feels strongly like a Third Doctor story. It is a rare occasion where the First Doctor has an adventure in the Earth of the present (the previous one was "Planet of Giants") and he works together with the military to defeat an evil machine that plans to dominate the humanity.

* OutOfGenreExperience: This is a First Doctor story that feels strongly like a prototypical Third Doctor story. It is a rare occasion where the First Doctor has an adventure in the Earth of the present (the previous one was "Planet of Giants") and he works together with the military to defeat an evil machine that plans to dominate humanity. The story's tone is likewise more bracing and action-oriented than the humanity.mannered theatricality of prior Hartnell serials, drawing the show closer to contemporaries such as ''Series/AdamAdamantLives'' or the Creator/DianaRigg seasons of ''Series/TheAvengers1960s'' (in a progression that would continue through much of the Troughton and Pertwee eras).
