Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In a November 2016 interview, Justin Richards indicated that these stories could be seen as taking place prior to the loss of Clara Oswald in Face the Raven and could be seen as examples of adventures the Doctor participates in while "leaving her to get on with some teaching."[1] As the Eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdriver is featured in several of the tales, these stories would need to take place therefore prior to the events of the opening scene of The Magician's Apprentice, after which the Doctor stopped carrying a sonic screwdriver until the conclusion of Hell Bent and Clara's departure.
