The quiz game featured an original illustration by [[Ben Morris (illustrator)|Ben Morris]], while the writing of the Annual's puzzles was collectively attributed to [[Justin Richards]] and [[Gareth Roberts]].

This game is not considered [[Tardis:Valid sources|a valid source]] on this Wiki, as it essentially casts the reader (or, as it were, player) as an aspiring staffmember at [[UNIT United Kingdom|UNIT]], thereby arguably breaking the [[fourth wall]].{{disputed}}


As UNIT had yet to be reintroduced to the television series under the new title of "[[Unified Intelligence Taskforce]]" following [[UN's legal actions against the UNIT acronym|the United Nations' legal action against the BBC]], the game still refers to it by its Classic Series designation of "United Nations Intelligence Taskforce".
