* The initial idea for the story was put forward by [[Jon Culshaw]], who emailed [[David Richardson]] suggesting a story featuring the Third and Fourth Doctors, who had so rarely been teamed up before, to coincide with the [[60th Anniversary Specials|60th Anniversary]]. Richardson agreed to the idea and approached [[Lizzie Hopley]] to write, giving her a "very loose" brief based on Culshaw's idea.

* Among other ideas suggested by Culshaw was the inclusion of big cataclysmic villains, of which Omega and [[Sutekh]] were the earliest suggestions. Although Omega made it in, Sutekh did not, which Culshaw recalled was due to a rights issue with the character. [[The Six]] was used instead.

* Culshaw also suggested the story feature two Sarah Janes. At first, there were concerns about the feasibility of translating this clearly to audio, and so alternative [[companion]] combinations were considered, such as [[Leela]] and [[Jo Grant|Jo]].

However, Hopley gravitated back to Sarah Jane in the end, and came up with the solution of calling the younger one Sarah Jane and the older one Sarah. Doing this also allowed the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]] to come into play, in a way different companions would not have allowed for. ([[BFX]]: ''The Box of Terrors'') | ||
* Regarding the Master as played by [[Roger Delgado]], Culshaw felt this story was "quite early on" in his "[[evil]] career", and that the events go a long way towards "consolidating" his later evil.
