Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- As the first story published since DWM 350's instalment twelve years prior in 2004, this story is the first one to feature characters from the 2005 version of the show. As such, this story marks the first and only appearances to date of the Twelfth Doctor, Clara Oswald and River Song in the series.
- The First Doctor's line to the Twelfth Doctor saying that River needs a "jolly good smacked bottom" is a reference to his comment to granddaughter Susan Foreman in The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
- The first three panels of this story were printed in black-and-white in Dicky Howett's autobiography, Drawing Breath, which was released on 31 May 2016.
