As a result, <i>Spearhead from Space</i> is the only classic serial shot entirely on film, as was then the standard of location filming. The majority of filming was undertaken at the BBC engineering college at <a href="/wiki/BBC_Wood_Norton" class="mw-redirect" title="BBC Wood Norton">Wood Norton</a> near Evesham, and the pub in nearby <a href="/wiki/Radford,_Worcestershire" title="Radford, Worcestershire">Radford</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The change to colour production also necessitated changes to the programme's opening titles.

Tests showed, however, that the technique did not produce satisfactory results when used with colour equipment and so the final set was produced in black and white before being manually tinted. These were completed in August 1969, a month before work began on the serial.<sup id="cite_ref-DVD_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DVD-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The new titles also introduced a new logo for the series. Unlike the logos used for the <a href="/wiki/First_Doctor" title="First Doctor">First</a> and <a href="/wiki/Second_Doctor" title="Second Doctor">Second Doctor</a>'s eras, which used a generic typeface, the new logo was an attempt at being more stylised, particularly in the presentation of the initial "D" in "Doctor" and the "H" in "Who." This logo would be used until the final episode of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Green_Death" title="The Green Death">The Green Death</a></i> in 1973, but (in slightly modified form) would make an unexpected return in 1996 when it was adopted as the logo for the US-produced <a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who_(1996_film)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doctor Who (1996 film)">1996 TV movie</a>. The 1996 form subsequently became the official logo of the <a href="/wiki/Eighth_Doctor" title="Eighth Doctor">Eighth Doctor</a>, and of the franchise itself, being used on original novels, video

This was the first novelisation commissioned by Target following the successful republishing of three books originally published in the mid-1960s. The Target Books novelisation series would run for the next twenty years and see all but six <i>Doctor Who</i> serials adapted. In the seventies, this book was translated into <a href="/wiki/Finnish_language" title="Finnish language">Finnish</a> as <i>Tohtori KUKA ja autonien hyökkäys</i>, although <i>Doctor Who</i> never appeared on Finnish television until the broadcast of the 2005 revival series. There were also <a href="/wiki/Dutch_language" title="Dutch language">Dutch</a>, <a href="/wiki/Turkish_language" title="Turkish language">Turkish</a>, <a href="/wiki/Japanese_language" title="Japanese language">Japanese</a> and <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_language" title="Portuguese language">Portuguese</a> editions. </p><p>An unabridged reading of the novelisation by actor <a href="/wiki/Caroline_John" title="Caroline John">Caroline John</a> was released as four CDs in June 2008 by BBC Audiobooks.

Due to the serial being shot entirely on film, this is the only <i>Doctor Who</i> story from the classic series where a complete high-definition release (with no <a href="/wiki/Video_scaler" title="Video scaler">upconversion</a>) is feasible. Reviewing this release, Phelim O'Neill of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Guardian" title="The Guardian">The Guardian</a></i> praised the film look of <i>Spearhead From Space</i>, writing, "It sounds like a small thing but it made an incredible difference; this is the only one of the vintage stories to have the picture quality worthy of a HD transfer. The Blu-ray looks superb, as if they shot a (very) low-budget <i>Doctor Who</i> movie late in 1969, which is pretty much what they did. The sets look sturdier, more colourful, and far better than their usual overlit, studio-bound video camerawork".<sup id="cite_ref-phelim_o'neill_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-phelim_o'neill-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the original broadcast of episode two, the first fifteen seconds of <a href="/wiki/Fleetwood_Mac" title="Fleetwood Mac">Fleetwood Mac</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Oh_Well_(song)" title="Oh Well (song)">"Oh Well (Part One)"</a> can be heard during scenes in the Auto Plastics factory.
