Writing and publishing notes
- This title was Philip Hinchcliffe’s last contribution to the range, and his sole novelisation of a serial he did not produce.
- With no photographs for reference, cover artist Mike Brett decided to try something different and feature no people on the cover.
- Producer John Nathan-Turner’s criticism of the cover artwork (namely the TARDIS is blue NOT grey, and the light is white NOT red), went unheeded.
- Large chunks of dialogue and story were cut from the novelisation.
