Notes

  • This story was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 5 in 1993. It was released on double cassette in September 1993. In March 2000, it was re-released on CD. It is now available for sale as a download on iTunes.

Continuity

  • This story puts a different spin on the opening moments of TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs. Television viewers may have thought the opening moments of Dinosaurs directly followed the closing scene of TV: The Time Warrior. This story suggests otherwise, depicting the first meeting of the Brigadier and Sarah Jane Smith.
  • Sarah tries to interview the Doctor for the Metropolitan — but the Doctor bristles once he figures out what she's up to.
  • This is the only performed story where Sarah's co-workers at the Metropolitan get a look-in. We hear her negotiate with her editor for financial support and a cameraman and we're introduced to Jeremy Fitzoliver, the son of the magazine's majority shareholder.
