- The incidental music seems to have been lifted, without modification, from Doctor Who episodes of the same era. This re-use of material isn't entirely surprising given the links between the series. Both shows aired on the Beeb, B7 was created by Terry Nation, who wrote for Doctor Who and created the Daleks,* and, most relevantly, B7's music was composed by Who veteran, Dudley Simpson.
- The fight sequences are completely ridiculous, and not the fun kind of ridiculous like you'd find in a Hong Kong kung fu film. Imagine a fight scene from the original Star Trek, but slowed down to about 3/4 speed and with the punches replaced by the kind of awkward shoving you might see between 8-year-old sisters. Leave in the 2-handed "clubbing," though.
* I guess Nation is the nearest real-life equivalent to Davros, then.
