*Group Marshal [[Nathan]] and his subordinate, unnamed on screen but referred to as "[[Turner]]" in the script, were a sly reference to the then-current ''Doctor Who'' producer [[John Nathan-Turner]]. | *Group Marshal [[Nathan]] and his subordinate, unnamed on screen but referred to as "[[Turner]]" in the script, were a sly reference to the then-current ''Doctor Who'' producer [[John Nathan-Turner]]. | ||
*Janet Fielding was asked to participate in the sketch when [[Nicola Bryant]] proved unavailable to reprise her role as the Doctor's then-current assistant [[Peri Brown]]. She wore the flight attendent uniform she had on in ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'' during most of [[Season 19]], though since leaving the series Fielding's hair had grown much longer. | *Janet Fielding was asked to participate in the sketch when [[Nicola Bryant]] proved unavailable to reprise her role as the Doctor's then-current assistant [[Peri Brown]].

*Although this skit is not considered part of the canon, attempts are made to fit it into continuity. Peri's absence is not explained, but when Tegan arrives (wearing a flight attendant's uniform similar to the one she wore in the series, even, though sometime between ''[[Time-Flight]]'' and ''[[Arc of Infinity]]'', she lost her job at the airline) the Doctor explains that he has [[regeneration|regenerated]]; since Tegan witnessed this once before, she is not surprised. She is also shown to be somewhat familiar with TARDIS controls, in keeping with her character in her earlier appearances. Although it was produced prior to "[[The Trial of a Time Lord]]," it is possible to place this in the Doctor's timeframe after the events of that storyline, and before his official first meeting with [[Melanie Bush]]. | *Although this skit is not considered part of the canon, attempts are made to fit it into continuity.
