Although the story was advertised as starring [[Peter Cushing]], and he had played [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|the theatrical film version of Dr. Who before]], it's decidedly certain that he would actually have been playing the same version of the character in this series. Equally, since we don't even know who was cast as Susan in the pilot, there's no way to assess whether she was meant to be the character played by [[Roberta Tovey]] in the films. Certainly, there is no precedent in either film or television for a character called "Mike".

The back story of the Dr. Who character in this story is somewhat a mix of the 1960 film's and that of the original TV series'. Dr. Who and Susan are from the far future of Earth, where time travel is possible, but a malfunction in their machine makes it so they can not choose where to land. They decide to spend some time in the '60's to investigate the issue, where Susan begins going to school and meet Mike.
