Publisher's summary
Urgent Calls (A One-Part Story)
Earth, 1974. An innocent phone call. Okay, it was a wrong number, but there can't be any harm in that. Can there?
Cast
- The Doctor - Colin Baker
- Lauren Hudson - Kate Brown
- DJ - David Dobson

Organisations
- It is implied that the "army man" and doctor who visit Lauren in hospital are with UNIT. The Doctor asks Lauren if the latter was "a tall chap with white hair and rather flamboyant clothes". However, this doctor was short, bald and wore ordinary clothes.
Technology
- The virus, transmittable through telephone conversations, manifested as a six-inch long, metallic-looking worm or snake which wrapped itself around its host's spine. If the worm had not been removed from Lauren's spine, she would have been transformed into a giant slug creature.
