Notes
- The strip is a heavily reworked version of Lenman's prototype Doctor What strip, Doctor What 4. While the art assets between both stories are largely identical, the setup differs, with various past Doctor actors reacting to Christopher Eccleston's casting as the Doctor. The most drastic change between the prototype and the final strip are that the characters appear to be depicted as the in-universe Doctors themselves as opposed to the actors in costume. This change in context makes it considerably less clear as to why the First Doctor appears among the "not-really-the-Doctor" Doctors, as the prototype strip explicitly identifies him as Richard Hurndall, his actor in The Five Doctors, a detail that is not present in the final version.
- The "Shalka" Doctor is mockingly called "Withnail", the titular character of Withnail and I, played by Richard E Grant.
- The "Fatal Death" Doctor farting is a reference to the Tersuran "language" utilised in The Curse of Fatal Death.
