Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Graeme Harper's first Doctor Who directing job; he'd return for the 2005 revival, making him the only director to work on both classic and new series.
The 'glass Dalek' concept directly influenced Steven Moffat's 'Asylum of the Daleks' nearly three decades later — Harper's visual language stuck.
