* In one of the appendices of the book, James Goss writes how he considered using [[Sarah Jane Smith]] as a companion as it would have been in the original story, but settled on [[Romana II]] and [[K9 Mark II|K9]] instead. (In fact Adams' notes only use the name "Jane" as a placeholder.) The beginning of the story as it would have been was included, with the Fourth Doctor returning to Sarah Jane after the events of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. | * In one of the appendices of the book, James Goss writes how he considered using [[Sarah Jane Smith]] as a companion as it would have been in the original story, but settled on [[Romana II]] and [[K9 Mark II|K9]] instead.

* Goss also mentions having used many other ideas from Adams' works, published or unpublished. One of these is evident in the story of the [[Great Khan]], an alien emperor who has trouble planning his schedule— a reimagining of Adams' short story {{w|The Private Life of Genghis Khan}} (which also has connections to the ''Hitchhiker's'' series). | * Goss also mentions having used many other ideas from Adams' works, published or unpublished.
