* Klein's erasure from the timeline in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Architects of History (audio story)|The Architects of History]]'' altered the events of this story somewhat. The Klein from the proper timeline briefly mentioned that the Doctor had been in Kenya in 1953. No doubt the outcome of his visit stayed the same despite Klein's absence. | |||
