Behind the scenes

Sanders' name is referenced within Class, as one of the names - M. J. Sandlers - on the Coal Hill School Roll of Honours Board. This was an in-joke by the members of the art department.

Matt Sanders submitted a script in 1989, called The Clockwise Cuckoos, which was under consideration by Andew Cartmel. The story featured the Autons replacing a TV game show host and his assistant, and also included Sil, Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart, and Colonel Crichton (DWM 259, page 15, letter from Matt Sanders).
