- Actor Peter Davison was somewhat displeased with artist Dave Gibbons' likeness of him in the earliest parts of the story. Consequently, he submitted to a vigorous and highly detailed photoshoot for the artist. These photos allowed Gibbons to draw the Fifth Doctor more accurately, and to avoid duplicating poses seen in widely-circulated publicity shots. Careful examination of the various parts of this story show a steady progression in Gibbons' ability to increasingly evoke Peter Davison, while placing the Fifth Doctor in completely original panel compositions.
