Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Paul Vyse's illustration is so large, the TARDISes are partially obscured by the text.
  • The replacement TARDIS is in the form of a plain white column. It's a newer model than the Doctor's Type 40.
  • The replacement TARDIS says a renegade Time Lord has little choice but to stick to the TARDIS they made off with, meaning they had a habit of continually heading into danger.
  • The incarnation of the Doctor featured in the story is never identified, but according to the Doctor Who Reference Guide, this could possibly be the Seventh.
