Notes
- LIVE 34's story is told in the style of a series of news broadcasts.
- During the "channel surfing" sequences that act as a title sequence, a brief snippet of the traditional seventh Doctor's theme is heard.
- Thematically, this story is the reverse of the Happiness Patrol, this time instead of following the TARDIS crew as they ferment rebellion and topple a tyrant, this time we see the revolution from the perspective of the innocents on the planet.
