Notes
- 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 leads in directly from The Death Collectors.
- This audio drama was recorded on 17-18 March 2008 at the Moat Studios.[2]
- REF: AHistory arbitrarily places this story in 3087, as it seems to be set on an Earth colony in the future.
Continuity
- The Doctor again mentions that he and Death are friends, as he did in AUDIO: The Death Collectors [+]Loading...["The Death Collectors (audio story)"]. The Doctor's relationship with Death was established in AUDIO: Master [+]Loading...["Master (audio story)"].
