Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Originally a mere background detail in The Invasion, the novelisation reworked the appearance of "Kilroy Was Here" to be written by Jamie.
- In The Enemy Within, a parodical comic story featuring the Fifth Doctor, the words "Kilroy Will Be Here" are graffitied on the base of the TARDIS control console.
