Notes
- This story was first released as an audiobook of sorts, narrated by Jacob Dudman, and then published as a text by Russell T Davies on his Instagram. Mirroring Doctor Who and the Time War, the latter release framed this as an excerpt — Chapter 21, "Revenge of the Nestene" — from the fictitious pages 198-203 of Davies' 2018 Rose novelisation.[1]
- The cover included with this second release was a slight edit on the original Target novelisation cover, which was illustrated by Anthony Dry. Davies credits Richard Atkinson with designing the pages themselves, which visually present as a direct continuation to PROSE: Rose.[1]
- In the audio release's credits, Big Finish Productions is given "special thanks".
- While the man that the Auton becomes at the end of the story is not identified outright, he is strongly implied to be Boris Johnson, at the time of the story's writing the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.[2]
Continuity
- One "nugget" of the Nestene Consciousness has survived the Ninth Doctor's anti-plastic. (TV: Rose)
- The Nestene Consciousness considers starting an alliance with the Doctor's greatest enemies, including the Daleks and the Cybermen, in order to finally defeat him. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)
- The Nestene Consciousness enjoyed a romance with the Embodiment of Gris. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan, PROSE: Cold Fusion, et al.)
- At the edge of the Time War, the Nestene encountered 100 Gallifreys, 1,000 burnt out Skaros, and a dozen Earths, taken from different moments and used as weapons in the War. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War)
