The UK television broadcast ended with a dedication to Jon Pertwee, the third actor to play the Doctor in Doctor Who (1963) (and one of the most popular), who had died a week earlier.
Rather than credit the creator of Doctor Who (1963), Sydney Newman, a title card reads: "Based upon the television series broadcast by the BBC." Ron Grainer, composer of the film's theme music, and Delia Derbyshire, designer of the TARDIS sound effect, do not receive screen credit.
