The season was notable for the return of [[Nicholas Courtney]] as Sir [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. This was his first appearance (on screen) since the independent film [[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Downtime]]'' in 1995 and the first time in a BBC production since [[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'' in [[1989 (releases)|1989]]. [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] also made its first on-screen appearance in the spin-off.
