From a narrative standpoint, it was one of the earlier adventures with [[Erimem]]. It explored, in part, her ability to cope with [[time travel]] and her burgeoning relationship with [[Peri Brown]]. It continued [[Big Finish Productions]]' tradition of giving narrative relevance to the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s love of [[cricket]], something that was mostly unexplored on television. It was also one of the few ''Doctor Who'' stories to be set in [[South Asia]] during the [[British Raj]]. | From a narrative standpoint, it was one of the earlier adventures with [[Erimem]].
