Notes

  • This story takes place in the Season 6B timeline.
  • Psychic paper was introduced in the 2005 season of the revived Doctor Who as a device used by the Ninth Doctor. As the Past Doctor Adventures line was discontinued soon after, this is the only time that an original novel featuring a "classic series" Doctor has made direct reference to a concept introduced in the TV series revival.
