Background
 
Due to cost restrictions Byrne and Tomblin decided that the final episode of series one would use a minimum amount of modelwork and effects.
 
The shooting script for 'Testament of Arkadia' was completed on February 5th, 1975.
 
Filming on the episode began on February 11th and was completed on February the 25th
 
Italian actor Orso Maria Guerrini was cast as Luke Ferro, but unfortunately his English was not good enough and all his dialogue had to be dubbed by actor Robert Rietty.
 
The Koenig office was redressed to become the gym set.
 
Koenig and Anna Davis use prop binoculars that were first seen in UFO.  Anna uses a computer translater which was not a specially built prop but was actually an Olivetti Divisumma calculator.
