Notes
- The Third Doctor's penchant for solving problems by "reversing" something is alive and well in this story. Here, he doesn't quite "reverse the polarity", but he does "find the programming bank and reverse its order".

- Tom's father is called "Brian" in part one, but "John" in part two.
- Bessie is called "Betsy", a common Polystyle error.
