References
- The events are set on Monday 27 October 1990, and the Brigadier has been called out of retirement to deal with something involving "Merlin and Excalibur" — which contradicts the events of the TV story Battlefield somewhat, as these are set in 1997. This was not derived from any information given in the home video version.
