Edge of Destruction

Take your pick

"The One With the Headband" (USA), "Doctor Who and the Overly Complicated Message" (Canada)

Not entirely sure. I think it has something to do with torches.

"As we learn about each other's pants so we learn about ourselves."

This is the only story to feature Susan stabbing a bed with a pair of scissors while Barbara looks on and the Doctor wears a snazzy headband.

Contrary to popular belief, this was actually the most expensive serial of the season owing to all the props being made out of gold. This was, apparently, an early example of William “Russell” Enoch testing the power of his fame. Some have claimed this is the reason the Cybermen didn’t appear in the story.

William Hartnell’s snazzy headband was a late addition to the story and was necessitated after he suffered a cut forehead while drinking a cup of tea.

Cut from Episode Two was a lengthy scene where the Doctor explained that the Fast Return was only valid during off peak hours and at weekends.

If you listen very carefully, about 16 minutes into Episode One you can clearly hear a technician masturbating off camera. His moan of “Oh Donald” was officially noted as a sneeze by BBC management.

The Audience Research Bureau recorded such comments as “Doctor Who has run out of steam” and “What the f--- was that ?”

"I was once enjoying a small cup of tea with William "Russell" Enoch when he made what he thought was an amusing remark about Story C being rather difficult to understand. 'Don't be pathetically stupid' I replied wittily, 'Story C is entirely straightforward and makes total sense as long as you are prepared to watch the story at least seventy times, study every single draft of the script, read the author's private diaries from the months before production and discuss all that you have learned with a group of not less than but equally not more than three acquaintances of a sensible disposition'. The stunned look on his face let me know that he'd learned his foolish lesson and wouldn't be making any more contemptuously puerile statements. I expect he'll get round to writing me a small note of thanks when he gets the time."
