Notes
- This story was first released as an audiobook of sorts, narrated by Jacob Dudman, and then published as a text by Russell T Davies on his Instagram. Mirroring Doctor Who and the Time War, the latter release framed this as an excerpt — Chapter 21, "Revenge of the Nestene" — from the fictitious pages 198-203 of Davies' 2018 Rose novelisation.[1]
- The cover included with this second release was a slight edit on the original Target novelisation cover, which was illustrated by Anthony Dry. Davies credits Richard Atkinson for this altered cover design.[1]
- In the audio release's credits, Big Finish Productions is given "special thanks".
- The man the Auton becomes at the end of the story is implied to be Prime Minister Boris Johnson but this is not stated outright to be the case.
Continuity
- One "nugget" of the Nestene Consciousness has survived the Ninth Doctor's anti-plastic. (TV: Rose)
