It featured the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Tegan Jovanka]].

The title ''Fixing a Hole'' can be seen as both an in-universe reference to the emotional gap in-between the Doctor and Tegan following her final television story and as a real-world reference to the narrative gap between ''A Fix with Sontarans'' and following stories which do not feature Tegan and the Sixth Doctor travelling together.

  • The Doctor wears a blue cloak.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • In many ways, this story is a sequel to A Fix with Sontarans, a story currently considered non-valid by this wiki due to it being a part of children's show Jim'll Fix It and fourth wall breaks. An updated A Fix with Sontarans fixes this issue by replacing Jimmy Savile on the TARDIS scanner with Sontaran ships and the Doctor saying "this was just the beginning".
  • The story builds on the premise that Tegan suddenly appears in the Sixth Doctor's TARDIS. The title references both the emotional gap between the Doctor and Tegan and the narrative gap between A Fix with Sontarans and following stories.
