Notes
- This is the first Counter-Measures audio drama not to feature any science fiction elements.
- The four citadels - bunkers created in World War II in case of German invasion, which were expanded during the Cold War in case of nuclear attack - existed in real life. In the Behind the Scenes feature, James Goss said he created a fifth so he could set a story there without anybody "writing in to Big Finish saying 'ahhh, it can't be that one'."
- This story was recorded on 22, 23, 25 and 26 October 2012.
Continuity
- Gilmore refers to the Waverly case and the fact that Emma Waverly is still a fugitive. (AUDIO: Manhunt)
- Allison refers to the fact that she was forced to kill her fiancé Julian St Stephen. (AUDIO: State of Emergency)
- Elizabeth Bradley refers to the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 (PROSE: Heart of TARDIS; AUDIO: 1963) and the Starfire Incident in November 1963 (AUDIO: 1963: The Assassination Games).
- Gilmore refers to his nickname "Chunky." (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
- Bradley mentions that Sir Toby is a Catholic. (AUDIO: Artificial Intelligence)
