Author, Writing and Publishing Notes
- Last in the range to have a title prefixed by “Doctor Who and …”
- Although not generally acknowledged as such, this was a rare occasion during the 1980s that the title of a novelisation differed from that of the original series, but barely: the serial spelled Sun Makers as two words, while the novelisation used the single-word form, Sunmakers.
