Summary
to be added
Characters
Worldbuilding
- Andrea Talwinning was born in 2625.
Notes
- This was Steven Moffat's first professionally published Doctor Who-related storyline. He would go on to pen the 1999 spoof The Curse of Fatal Death before becoming a multi-Hugo Award-winning scriptwriter for the revived series from 2005 to 2008, and then the show's executive producer commencing in 2009.
- Moffat reused the idea of the Doctor travelling back in time to alter a person's perception of him in the television story A Christmas Carol.
- The idea of a planet-sized library was later reused in the television story Silence in the Library, while the description of the Doctor as a Complex Space-Time Event was echoed by his self-identification as a complicated space-time event in Flesh and Stone. Professor Candy himself would ultimately get a televised cameo in the final scene of Let's Kill Hitler.
- Moffat originally considered calling this story both History MD and The Curse Of Fatal Death, the latter of which he later used.[1]
Continuity
- Professor Candy is mentioned in PROSE: Oh No It Isn't!, and appears in TV: Let's Kill Hitler.
- The Library was inspired by the events of PROSE: Fegovy.
