• This was the second original Doctor Who short story to be published outside of an Annual. The first was Doctor Who and the Daleks. The next newspaper-exclusive Doctor Who short story wouldn't appear for another three decades.
• The story was reprinted for the first time since its original 1976 publication in Doctor Who Magazine Issue 550 (May, 2020).
