Though he had been keen on this idea for some time, Nicholas Briggs felt that the Big Finish CD release format made it impractical. He changed his mind when [[Heather Challands]] urged him to go for it. ([[BFX]]: ''The Annihilators'') | ||

* [[Michael Troughton]] was set to debut as the Second Doctor in Big Finish's upcoming range, ''The Second Doctor Adventures''. However, when Briggs noted there would be a sizable wait ahead of the new range's first release, he decided to include the Second Doctor and Jamie in this story, as a teaser of what was to come. ''The Annihilators'' notably reveals the two are on a special mission but its true nature is not revealed; Briggs teased that this would tie in to ''The Second Doctor Adventures''.
