Deviations from televised story[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Romana's farewell to the Doctor is handled differently, with more emotion and is less rushed than the televised version.
- The fate of the rogue Gundan is revealed.
- How the slavers spaceship ended up in the void is revealed.
- K9's fate is presented as a tragedy.
- The ending is different from the televised story, with Romana wandering off long after the spaceship explodes and the Doctor realising he can travel between universes with the mirrors.
