* As noted by [[Lance Parkin]] in ''[[A History of the Universe]]'', publicity for this story when it was first broadcast placed it "fifty years in the future," or in [[2018]].

When the novelisation was finally written by [[Ian Marter]] in [[1981]], 2030 was the date used. | * As noted by [[Lance Parkin]] in ''[[A History of the Universe]]'', publicity for this story when it was first broadcast placed it "fifty years in the future," or in [[2018]].
