References

Notes
- This audio drama was recorded on 21 and 22 October 2009 at The Moat Studios.
- Prison in Space began life as an unproduced serial intended to be part of Season 6 by Dick Sharples. It would have featured a female-dominated planet, previously used in another unproduced serial The Hidden Planet. It would have featured Zoe Heriot starting a sexual revolution, before being brainwashed and then deprogrammed by the Second Doctor, who smacks her on the bottom. It would also have featured Jamie McCrimmon in drag. The story was rewritten when Frazer Hines decided to leave and then again when he decided to stay. Executives were unhappy with it, but Sharples refused to rewrite and it was replaced by The Krotons.[1]
- This story was released on CD and download as part of The Second Doctor Box Set, along with the The Destroyers, the audio adaptation of a proposed pilot episode to a planned Dalek spin-off.
Continuity
- Zoe refers to her encounters with the Daleks, (AUDIO: Fear of the Daleks) the Cybermen (TV: The Wheel in Space, The Invasion; AUDIO: The Isos Network, Last of the Cybermen) and the Quarks whom they had recently met on Dulkis (TV: The Dominators) as well as the Yeti, (TV: The Abominable Snowmen, The Web of Fear) whom she has never been depicted encountering in any media.
- The Doctor and Jamie both refer to the Battle of Culloden. (TV: The Highlanders)
- Jamie would later disguise himself as a woman once again in November 1688. (AUDIO: The Glorious Revolution)
