The [[Doctor Who Holiday Special 1974|1974 special]] actually does earn the word ''special''. It's where [[Sarah Jane Smith]] — or as [[Polystyle]] preferred, Sarah-Jane Smith — makes her comics debut. Until the publication of ''[[In With the Tide (comic story)|In With the Tide]]'' in 2013, it was also the only appearance Sarah-Jane made alongside the [[Third Doctor]] in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' comics. | The [[Doctor Who Holiday Special 1974|1974 special]] actually does earn the word ''special''.

As with the previous year's special, [[UNIT]] and [[the Brigadier]] are back, this time with [[Sergeant Benton]] appearing in [[Doomcloud (comic story)|one story]]. Moreover, the notion of [[parallel universe]]s is explored in ''[[Who's Who? (comic story)Who's Who?]]'', which — as an occasional theme of the [[Third Doctor]]'s televised era — further makes this volume feel like a more faithful representation of Pertwee's time in [[the TARDIS]] than is typical for the ongoing Polystyle comic strip. | As with the previous year's special, [[UNIT]] and [[the Brigadier]] are back, this time with [[Sergeant Benton]] appearing in [[Doomcloud (comic story)|one story]].

It is also interesting for having been released during the initial broadcast of ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]''. It's thus a kind of "last hurrah" for the [[Third Doctor]] which would have been experienced by many contemporary readers after they knew [[Fourth Doctor|a new Doctor]] was on his way. Still, just as with the [[Second Doctor]], Polystyle would stretch out the Third Doctor's comic era for months after the televised [[regeneration]]. The [[Third Doctor]] still had more than six months of life in the pages of ''[[TV Comic]]'' after the publication of this volume. | It is also interesting for having been released during the initial broadcast of ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]''.
