It and the other stories of this [[Series 1 (BFBS)|first series]] were instrumental in [[Gary Russell]] and [[Jason Haigh-Ellery]]'s success in obtaining a licence from [[BBC Worldwide]] to make original audio dramas based on ''[[Doctor Who]]'', a licence which was denied to Russell in 1996. | Based upon [[Oh No It Isn't!
