'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the first story in the [[Series 6 (TLS)|sixth series]] of ''[[The Lost Stories]]'', produced by [[Big Finish Productions]]. It was adapted by [[John Dorney]], from the original script by [[Gerry Davis]], and featured [[Tom Baker]] as the [[Fourth Doctor]] and introduced [[Sadie Miller]] as [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and [[Christopher Naylor]] as [[Harry Sullivan]].


Dorney claimed that the story "fits with the [[Doctor Who|TV]] [[continuity]] and makes a sidestep at the same time", in the sense that one can swap out ''Revenge'' and listen to ''Return'' in its place while keeping the continuity of the surrounding series intact. ([[VOR 144]]) An additional ending scene originally sought to fully reconcile the two versions [[Doctor Who universe|in-universe]] but it was ultimately cut from the final work.
