This was the final release in Big Finish's ''[[The Monthly Adventures (audio series)|The Monthly Adventures]]'', which had been running consistently since [[1999 (releases)|1999]]. To reflect this, the summary given for this story was very similar to the one given for ''[[The Sirens of Time (audio story)|The Sirens of Time]]'', the range's first release, in which the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctors were similarly given their own individual episodes before joining together in the final episode. In this instance, the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Doctors received their own individual episodes before coming together with the Seventh Doctor for the final episode. | This was the final release in Big Finish's ''[[The Monthly Adventures (audio series)|The Monthly Adventures]]'', which had been running consistently since [[1999 (releases)|1999]].
