This was a double first, being the first Big Finish story to feature the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], and the first Eighth Doctor story to feature the Cybermen. This is also another of Big Finish's stories which was originally created as part of the [[Audio Visuals]], a fan produced series which featured many people who went onto create and work for Big Finish and [[BBV Productions]]. [[Nicholas Briggs]] filled many roles in the production of this story — he provided the voice of the Cybermen, sound design, music, direction, and writing; his appearance as the voice of the Cybermen here predates [[TV]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen (TV story)|Rise of the Cybermen]]''.
