Notes

• This is the only Big Finish audio drama to feature one of the first three incarnations of the Doctor facing the Daleks.

Continuity

• The Doctor reassures Zoe some time after this adventure that the Daleks have now really met their final end at last, but Zoe is sceptical as he has said this before. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks)
• Dalek crystals are used in a similar fashion in AUDIO: The Apocalypse Element.
• Zoe remembers bits and pieces of her adventures with the Doctor (in the form of dreams), despite the erasure of her memory by the Time Lords. (TV: The War Games)
• The Company would later gain access to records of Zoe's therapy sessions. (AUDIO: Echoes of Grey)
• When she awakes from her dream, Zoe hears the Doctor's voice telling her that the Daleks "really have met their final end", possibly a reference to the Last Great Time War, which the second incarnation was briefly involved in, along with his other 12 selves. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
