* The story was later released as an audio story by [[BBV Productions]], | * The story was first planned in the late 1980s. Franklin told ''[[Myth Makers]]'' in 1989 that [[Target Books]] was going to publish it "but unfortunately they've discontinued the series" (likely meaning ''[[The Companions of Doctor Who]]''). He had plans to produce a self-published version that didn't happen. In 2000, he performed a badly reviewed version of it as a one-man show at the Edinburgh Fringe. The story was later released as an abridged audio story by [[BBV Productions]] in 2002, after being turned down by [[Big Finish]]. <ref>''Downtime: The Lost Years of Doctor Who'' Chapter 29 (Dylan Rees)</ref> | ||
* The appearance of [[DWU]] characters was unlicensed and so the BBV audio is not considered [[Tardis:Valid sources|a valid source for writing on this wiki]]. It was remade into a novel, ''Operation: Hate'', with no mention of the ''[[Doctor Who universe|Doctor Who]]'' [[Doctor Who universe|universe]] and Yates renamed as Captain M. Franklin explained in one interview that the BBC had got stricter on copyright since 2000. <ref>''Downtime: The Lost Years of Doctor Who'' Chapter 29 (Dylan Rees)</ref> | |||
