Author, Writing and Publishing Notes
- This novelisation restructured the televised version.
- Although number #93 in the Doctor Who library, the book was actually the 92nd to be released; this was because it was swapped in the publication order with the novelisation of The Caves of Androzani late in the day without the numbers being reassigned.
