* This is the first strip to feature other incarnations of [[the Doctor]] besides the Tenth Doctor. | |||
* The strip is a heavily reworked version of Lenman's prototype ''Doctor What'' strip, ''[[Doctor What (Whoah! comic story 4)|Doctor What 4]]''. While the art assets between both stories are largely identical, the setup differs, with various past Doctor actors reacting to [[Christopher Eccleston (Doctor What)|Christopher Eccleston]]'s casting as the Doctor. The most drastic change between the prototype and the final strip are that the characters appear to be depicted as the in-universe Doctors themselves as opposed to the actors in costume. This change in context makes it considerably less clear as to why the First Doctor appears among the "not-really-the-Doctor" Doctors, as the prototype strip explicitly identifies him as [[Richard Hurndall (Doctor What)|Richard Hurndall]], his actor in ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', a detail that is not present in the final version. | * The strip is a heavily reworked version of Lenman's prototype ''Doctor What'' strip, ''[[Doctor What (Whoah! comic story 4)|Doctor What 4]]''.
