Notes
- As an abridged retelling, this version of the story removes and shortens several plot points, entirely omitting appearances by various characters and elements.
Deviations from televised story
- The Spy Dalek is said to be "double-crossing" the Doctor, implying that, unlike the legitimate offer it made in the original television story, it had lured in the Doctor with lies about betraying its race.
- Inston-Vee Vinder and the Qurunx are only alluded to instead of outright depicted.
Continuity
- The events of The Power of the Doctor are retold in an abridged format.
