Notes
- This is the second Companion Chronicles release to feature multiple companions from different eras (the first being CC: The Three Companions). There are in fact six companions involved in the story, although only four are heard. This is not an omnibus of stories with linking material, but rather Jo, Romana, Steven and Zoe are worked into the narrative by way of archival recordings.
- As Big Finish does not have the rights to the TV movie characters Grace Holloway and Chang Lee, Daphne Ashbrook and Yee Jee Tso participate in the Companion Chronicles by playing new characters. This isn't the first time companion actors have been brought in to perform characters other than their originals for the line. A reference to the movie is nonetheless made when Matheson talks about UNIT covering up strange events that occurred at the turn of the millennium.
- This audio drama features a cast of six actors, more than any other Companion Chronicle release to date.
- Many Companion Chronicles are in the form of one actor reading a story, but the format of this story allows it to be presented as a regular audio drama.
- Along with CC: Mother Russia, this is one of only two Big Finish audio dramas to feature Dodo Chaplet as a character.
- This audio drama was recorded on 11 November 2010.
Continuity
- Captain Matheson tells Warrant Office Sato about the Terravore incursion in the London Underground in 2010. (BFA: The Crimes of Thomas Brewster)
- References are made to UNIT's involvement with an incident involving a sea monster appearing in the River Thames (DW: Terror of the Zygons) and the disturbances at the turn of the millennium (DW: Doctor Who (1996), MA: Millennial Rites, BFIW: The Panda Invasion).
- The events involving Romana take place in 2001, around the time Matheson first began working with her UNIT division. This marks the first time that the Time Lady has been chronicled interacting with UNIT.
- The events involving Jo are said to take place "70-odd" years after the death of Tommy Watkins in 1900, placing the Doctor with UNIT in the early 1970s. This is consistent with the DW: Mawdryn Undead version of the UNIT dating controversy and the real life broadcasts.
- Jo mentions the Axons. (DW: The Claws of Axos)
- Matheson's stated aim of the Vault is very similar to the mandate of Torchwood One. (DW: Army of Ghosts)
