Although the story was advertised as starring [[Peter Cushing]], and he had played [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|the theatrical film version of Dr. Who before]], it's decidedly certain that he would not actually have been playing the same version of the character in this series. Certainly, there is no precedent in either film or television of the time for a character called "Mike".
Although Cushing had previously played [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|a version of the Doctor]] in the "Dalek movies", this story wasn't scripted as a sequel to those movies, rather being an approximate retelling of ''A Unearthly Child'', similar to the aforementioned movies, the ''[[TV Comics]]'', and ''[[Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (novelisation)|Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks]]'' before it. This story would've introduced a new character named "Mike", who was unique to this interpretation.


Along with ''[[Absent Friends (Torchwood audio story)|Absent Friends]]'' and ''[[City of the Saved (audio story)|City of the Saved]]'', both of which were also in the audio play medium, and the unreleased webcast {{Cs|41.1978.A (unreleased webcast)}}, this is one of only four performed [[DWU]] stories known to have been fully recorded, but never given an official release of any kind.
