* This is the first of Big Finish Productions' "Christmas releases" stories. They are a bit more light-hearted than other releases. The following year's Christmas release was ''[[Bang-Bang-a-Boom! (audio story)|Bang-Bang-a-Boom!]]'', a story again parodying popular media-culture. In years following ''Bang-Bang-a-Boom!''{{'}}s release, Big Finish offered [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories#Subscriber-Only|subscriber only]] special releases, although those tended to cover all genres rather than the lighter-toned style that this story and ''Bang-Bang-a-Boom!'' use. | * This is the first of Big Finish Productions' "Christmas releases" stories.

* Mentos asks the Doctor if he's going to use one of those "fox the computer conundrums...the last thing I said was false and all that". This alludes to a popular means of defeating misguided or evil [[computer]]s in ''[[Star Trek]]'' but also references [[TV]]: ''[[The Green Death]]''. The [[Eighth Doctor]] would experience a similar failure in using such questions on the Brain in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Space Age (novel)|The Space Age]]'', but simply muses that at least it shows people are building the computers properly. | * Mentos asks the Doctor if he's going to use one of those "fox the computer conundrums...the last thing I said was false and all that".
