Notes

  • It is never explained how the children of the planet came to be left in the care of their android guardian.
  • David Leach provided colour for the DWCC 25 reprint.
  • The concept of the Doctor solving a series of puzzles in a forbidden alien city is also seen in TV: Death to the Daleks, which aired just a few months prior to this story's original release.
