to be added

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- This story uses the conventions of a "choose-your-own-adventure" story, a device that has previously been used in earnest in the Decide Your Destiny and Make Your Own Adventure/Find Your Fate series. However, unlike with those books, this story makes the deviations based on the listener's choices a part of the narrative through the use of the Resurrectionist, meaning there are no real choices made by the listener, and no alternative sequences of events.
- John Dorney, the writer, originally planned on using a different villain for this story. However, this "obvious" villain, presumably the Ogrons, were already being used in one of Dorney's stories in a different range.
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor first met Chimbly during his sixth incarnation on Transmission. (AUDIO: The Fourth Wall)
- Chimbly refers to a pair of humans who sold them rotten food. (TV: Dragonfire) The Doctor would later determine that the two humans who escaped from Chimbly the previous week were Melanie Bush and Sabalom Glitz. (AUDIO: A Life of Crime)
- The Doctor is teaching Ace how to fly the TARDIS. She would later be in control of her own TARDIS. (AUDIO: Intervention Earth) The Tenth Doctor would later teach his companion Donna Noble how to control the TARDIS. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem)
- The TARDIS console room is in the form adopted by the Doctor's seventh and eighth incarnations. (AUDIO: The Settling, TV: Doctor Who et al.)
