* [[John Dorney]] was given a very open brief for the story, simply stipulating a four-part story featuring the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Leela]] and [[K9]]. ([[BFX]]: ''The Mind Runners'') | |||
* Dorney drew inspiration from ''[[Blade Runner]]'', {{wi|The Big Sleep (1946 film)|The Big Sleep}} and others in the {{w|film noir}} genre. [[Nicholas Briggs]] imagined that the story's setting was, visually, very similar to ''Blade Runner''. ([[BFX]]: ''The Mind Runners'') | |||

* The Doctor states that the only place where K9 would stand out less in the twentieth century than [[New York]] is the [[Edinburgh Festival]]. The [[Twelfth Doctor]] would later take credit for creating the Festival. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Plague City (novel)|Plague City]]'') | |||
