* Peter Davison remembered that ''The Sirens of Time'' was "hitherto... the [[Children in Need]] [[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|special that we did with]] ''[[EastEnders (series)|EastEnders]]'', that made no sense at all", before saying, "Sirens of Time ''also'' made no sense at all... I think I've got a reasonable grip - grasp of most ''Doctor Who'' stories... ''Most''... And I had no idea what was going on. So you can imagine that if ''I'' had no idea what was going on, Colin or Sylvester had ''absolutely'' no clue. I mean, they were completely in the dark. Sylvester, I think he just said, 'Oh, I'm gonna, just roll my R's a bit. I think that's what I'll do.' ...But we had a ''fun'' time! It was a great time!"<ref name=":24" /> | * Peter Davison remembered that ''The Sirens of Time'' was "hitherto... the [[Children in Need]] [[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|special that we did with]] ''[[EastEnders (series)|EastEnders]]'', that made no sense at all", before saying, "Sirens of Time ''also'' made no sense at all...

* At some point, Sylvester McCoy lost his script during recording.{{Note|Sylvester McCoy is shown to have a script in photographs of the recording of ''The Sirens of Time''. The first behind the segment featuring the original recording session has Colin Baker saying, "Sylv hasn't got a script". From both these pieces of information, McCoy presumably lost it.}} Colin Baker gave his script to McCoy and shared with Peter Davison's script.<ref name=":24" /> | * At some point, Sylvester McCoy lost his script during recording.{{Note|Sylvester McCoy is shown to have a script in photographs of the recording of ''The Sirens of Time''.
