Notes
- REF: AHistory arbitrarily places this story in 3087, as it seems to be set on an Earth colony in the future.
- In an episode of The Big Finish Podcast, Nick Briggs claimed that he in fact wrote this story, but decided to let Stewart Sheargold take the credit, figuring it would get better reviews without his name on it.[1]
- This story is set between Survival and the 1996 TV Movie.
Continuity
- The Doctor again mentions that he and Death are friends. (AUDIO: Master, The Death Collectors)
