Notes

• During the original run of Doctor Who (1963–1989), Nicholas Courtney appeared opposite all of the Doctors except the Sixth. This audio fixes that omission. (Technically, they also meet--albeit briefly--in Dimensions in Time.) Courtney later appeared with the Eighth Doctor in Minuet in Hell, and with Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant in Sympathy for the Devil and UNIT: The Wasting (although Tennant was not playing The Doctor in these plays).
• The Brigadier mentions an earlier adventure during which the TARDIS became invisible, a reference to the events of the 1968 television serial The Invasion.
• James Bolam (Sir Archibald Flint) and Susan Jameson (Mrs. Moynihan) are married in real life.
