* Although the publisher's summary states that the story begins at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, this is incorrect, as the Doctor's opening monologue in Part 1 states that he had taken Charley to the Singapore Hilton hotel. | * Although the publisher's summary states that the story begins at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, this is incorrect, as the Doctor's opening monologue in Part 1 states that he had taken Charley to the Singapore Hilton hotel. | ||
* When discussing Grayle's immortality with Charley, the Doctor notes that he considers his ability to [[Regeneration|regenerate]] superior to Grayle just living forever as regeneration allows him to change where Grayle remains stuck in his existing viewpoint; this is in sharp contrast to the Doctor's attitude towards regeneration in his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth]] incarnations, with these later Doctors initially reluctant to change out of fear of losing the men they were. | * When discussing Grayle's immortality with Charley, the Doctor notes that he considers his ability to [[Regeneration|regenerate]] superior to Grayle just living forever as regeneration allows him to change where Grayle remains stuck in his existing viewpoint; this is in sharp contrast to the Doctor's attitude towards regeneration in his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth]] incarnations, with these later Doctors initially reluctant to change out of fear of losing the men they were. | ||
*Charlie jokes about the Doctor "always playing the fool to keep his enemies talking", a technique commonly used by the Doctor's other incarnations as well, for example, the [[Fourth Doctor|fourth]] Doctor, in order to find out people's (often evil) plans. | |||
*When Grayle attempts to sacrifice the men in the temple to appease the Nimons and gain immortality at the end of episode 1, [[Dalek]] voices can be heard in the background. | |||
*This is one of the few [[Main Range|main range Doctor Who]] audios in which a [[Swearing|curse word]] is verbally spoken. When Charley and the Doctor arrive in Edward the Confessor's court and spot Grayle, the Doctor mentions seeing tension patterns on his head and says it's only something one picks up on when "you're used to the [[Bitch|bitchiness]] of Timelord society". As Doctor Who is primarily a franchise aimed at children, cursing and rude words have typically not been a part of the program (although this has been relaxed somewhat in the revived series due to a shift in the demographic). Note that this does not include spinoffs such as "[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]" which are aimed at a more mature audience and do include the use of such words. | |||

*When questioned by Sebastian Grayle, the Doctor wonders whether Sebastian has mixed him up with another Timelord, as he doesn't say "You will obey me" (a reference to the [[Master]]), he doesn't meddle (a reference to the [[The Monk|Meddling Monk]]) and that he's "not a glamorous woman" (a reference to the [[The Rani|Rani]]).

*The Doctor uses the [[fast return switch]] as part of his plan. The TARDIS fast return returns the TARDIS to a previous destination where it had landed before. ([[TV]]: [[The Edge of Destruction (TV story)|''The Edge of Destruction'']], ''et al''.) | |||
