Story notes
- Notably the first Doctor Who television story to feature a regeneration from a male body to a female, there have been references to this happening with the Corsair in TV: The Doctor's Wife and the Master in TV: Dark Water and TV: Death in Heaven but it has never been televised, in this case the General from his eleventh to his twelfth incarnation.
