* This is the first of only two original [[Season 23 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 23]] scripts which did not receive any kind of an adaptation. There were three main reasons: First, the original author for this story, Robert Holmes, died in 1986 and so was unavailable when [[Target Books]] elected to publish novelisations of the first three [[Season 23#Aborted Season 23|season 23]] stories in 1989 and again when [[Telos Publishing]] attempted to publish the scripts in 1990.
