* This is an extended release of ''[[Shada (webcast)|Shada]]'' containing some lengthened scenes.
* [[Gary Russell]] effected alterations to accommodate the new format and style. He wrote a prologue explaining why it is the Eighth Doctor instead of the Fourth and Romana in this story (and making sense of the footage seen in the television story ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''). He also changed small scenes which would not work for audio (such as the punting scene and the scene of Skagra stealing the [[David Taylor (Shada)|motorist's]] mind).
