Notes
- This story was recorded on 30 and 31 October, 2008.
- Jemima Rooper's performance as Izzy was praised by Alan Barnes, who said "she 'got' the character the second she spoke her first line, absolutely - walking the line between 'utterly adorable, give her a hug' and 'slightly irritating nerd' like she was born to play it!" (Vortex issue 5)
- This remains the only story in which the character of Izzy was performed by an actor.
