Notes
- Working titles for the story included Thadeus Nook's Time Tours and The Time Tours of Thadeus Nook. Eventually, Tribulations was settled on because the word has serious connotations while also sounding quite flippant by virtue of being more old-fashioned. (BFX: The Tribulations of Thadeus Nook)
- Andrew Smith envisioned the character of Thadeus Nook first before the story ideas. (BFX: The Tribulations of Thadeus Nook)
- The story partially was influenced by the TV Comic story, The Amateur, in which the Doctor encounters another amateur human time traveller. (BFX: The Tribulations of Thadeus Nook)
- Smith also drew some inspiration from The Romans and The Gunfighters, two stories which balance a lighter comedic tone with a darker tone, one of which transitions to the other as the story progresses. When writing Tribulations, Smith chose the scene of the Kennedy assassination as the moment which the hitherto lighthearted story begins to take on a more serious tone. (BFX: The Tribulations of Thadeus Nook)
- This story was recorded on 19 and 21 September 2016 at Audio Sorcery.
Continuity
- The Doctor arrives shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Ninth Doctor would later be there for the assassination itself (TV: Rose) Another Renegade Time Lord, the Designer Berenyi altered the timeline to ensure the assassination. (PROSE: Untitled)
