Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The name "Arbitan" was applied to the race in the The Dr Who Annual 1966 story The Fishmen of Kandalinga, set presumably millions of years in the future. In Doctor Who and the Keys of Marinus novelisation, published in 1980, Altos is described as a "Marinian," indicating these are the same species, although there are references to them as a being "human" and the existence of "many races" on Marinus, sometimes including the Voord.
