Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor tells Ace that one of his previous regenerations was going to battle the Kandyman, but there were problems with the design.
- Nathan-Turner asks whose idea it was to make the Kandyman a giant jelly baby, while the Fourth Doctor begins drooling and starts to eat it.
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- This story references the Seventh Doctor and Ace's encounter with the Kandyman in The Happiness Patrol. The design of the Kandyman in that story was also a subject of controversy, as the similarities to the mascot of Bassett Foods, Bertie Bassett, led to a letter of complaint from the company, and an assurance by John Nathan-Turner to them that the character would not reappear in the series.
