Production

This story, originally titled The Song Of The Space Whale, was written for Doctor Who Weekly and featured the Fourth Doctor, although it was never submitted. Instead, at Mills's wife's suggestion, it was altered and submitted for television. It changed to incorporate the Fifth Doctor, alongside Tegan and Nyssa, and would have introduced the character Turlough; it was rejected in favour of Mawdryn Undead. It was then resubmitted under the title The Space Whale and rewritten to feature the Sixth Doctor and Peri. It was rejected in favour of Vengeance on Varos.

gollark: [POLITICAL VIEW] is utterly and objectively right, and all who disagree are enemies and will be subject to infinite quantities of bees.
gollark: The answer is 2, with a 150% margin of error.
gollark: It is not. As far as I know, the way it works (roughly) is that when you measure one thing in a pair, you know the other one must be in the other state; no way to transfer data that way unless you can already transfer the same amount of data to the other end.
gollark: So your issue is just flexible working hours?
