Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
In The Writer's Tale, Russell T Davies recalls that he and scriptwriter Gareth Roberts were having trouble working out the monster Agatha Christie would face in The Unicorn and the Wasp:
"We really couldn't think what sort of enemy she should fight. Dickens? Ghosts. Shakespeare? Witches. But Agatha...?

Our most tenuous link yet."
