| == Publisher's summary ==
| |
| When the evil [[Skelloid]]s launch an attack upon the seventeen worlds of the [[Generios system]], its peace-loving inhabitants face total destruction.
| |
|
| |
| So it's lucky that the Doctor, that famous traveller in time and space, is in the area, and that he, along with his pretty young assistant, [[Sally-Anne Stubbins|Sally-Anne]], manages to defeat the deadly creatures and save the day.
| |
|
| |
| But now it looks as though the Doctor's luck has run out.
| |
|
| |
| Who is the [[Sixth Doctor|mysterious, curly-haired stranger]], intent on causing trouble? What role does the feisty redhead [[Melanie Bush|Melanie]] play in his scheme? And what have they to do with the sinister alien cylinder approaching Generios?
| |
|
| |
| One thing is certain: for the Doctor and Sally-Anne, there's deadly danger ahead...

| |
| * This is the first of Big Finish Productions' "Christmas releases" stories. They are a bit more light-hearted than other releases. The following year's Christmas release was ''[[Bang-Bang-A-Boom!]]'', a story again parodying popular media-culture. In years following ''Bang-Bang-A-Boom!'''s release, Big Finish offered [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories#Subscriber-Only|subscriber only]] special releases, although those tended to cover all genres rather than the lighter-toned style that this story and ''Bang-Bang-A-Boom'' use.
| |
| * The third episode features the alternative Delaware version of the ''Doctor Who'' theme tune, a nod to the overseas print of [[TV]]: ''[[Carnival of Monsters]]''.
| |
| * This audio drama was recorded on [[28 April (production)|28]] and [[29 April (production)|29 April]] 2001.
| |
| * The second CD contains a bonus track containing two scenes. In the first of these, the Doctor and Mel attempt to use the [[Time-Space Visualiser]] to watch [[Queen's Christmas speech|The Queen's Speech]], but accidentally tune in to [[Elizabeth I]]. In the second, the Questioner asks Mentos a number of questions from throughout time and space. Both scenes end with the characters wishing Merry Christmas "to all of you at home". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'')
| |
| * [[Jim Mortimore]] and [[Jane Elphinstone]]'s score to this story, alongside the score to ''[[Bloodtide (audio story)|Bloodtide]] ''and ''[[Project Twilight (audio story)|Project: Twilight]], ''was released on the CD ''[[Music from the Sixth Doctor Audio Adventures]].''
| |
|
| |
| == Continuity ==
| |
| * Mentos asks the Doctor if he's going to use one of those "fox the computer conundrums...the last thing I said was false and all that", which was first mentioned in [[TV]]: ''[[The Green Death]]''.
| |
| * The names that the Cylinder calls the Doctor hail from specific stories: [[Johann Schmidt]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Colditz (audio story)|Colditz]]'', ''[[Klein's Story]]'', ''[[Storm Warning (audio story)|Storm Warning]]''; [[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus]]''), Doktor von Wer ([[TV]]: ''[[The Highlanders (TV story)|The Highlanders]]''), Ka Faraq Gatri ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation]]'') Theta Sigma ([[TV]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Happiness Patrol]]'') and Snail ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow]]'').
| |
| * The Doctor claims that he has very good eyesight in the dark due to drinking so much [[carrot juice]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Vervoids]]'', ''[[The Ultimate Foe]]'')
| |
| * Mel mentions the fact that she has "the memory of an [[elephant]]" is a running gag between herself and the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Vervoids]]'', ''[[Time and the Rani]]'')
