*This story contains an example of [[The "Doctor Who?" running joke]] - when introducing himself and his companions to [[Bat Masterson]], the Doctor creates aliases for the group, and says of himself, "And lastly, sir, your humble servant, Doctor, er, Caligari." Masterson, confused, asks, "Doctor who?" to which the Doctor responds, "Yes, quite right." | *This story contains an example of [[The "Doctor Who?" running joke]] - when introducing himself and his companions to [[Bat Masterson]], the Doctor creates aliases for the group, and says of himself, "And lastly, sir, your humble servant, Doctor, er, Caligari."

*In reality, [[Johnny Ringo]] | *The storyline of the serial makes several notable departures from the historical fact. In reality, [[Bat Masterson]], [[Johnny Ringo]], [[Warren Earp]] and [[Phineas Clanton]] were not present in Tombstone in [[October]] [[1881]]. Consequently, neither Ringo nor Phineas Clanton participated in the Gunfight at the O. K. Corral and were therefore not casualties of it as portrayed here. Warren Earp did not until [[July]] [[1900]], almost nineteen years after the events of this story take place. Phineas' brother [[Ike Clanton]] survived the gunfight whereas their father [[Pa Clanton]] had died the previous [[August]]. No reference is made to four of the gunfight's actual participants: Warren, [[Wyatt Earp|Wyatt]] and [[Virgil Earp]]'s brother Morgan Earp and the Clantons brothers' fellow outlaw cowboys Billy Claiborne and Tom and Frank McLaury. Furthermore, [[Doc Holliday]] was only 30 years old in 1881 in real life whereas [[Anthony Jacobs]] was 48 in [[1966]]. His common law wife was, in actuality, named Kate "Big Nose Kate" Cummings rather than [[Kate Fisher]], which was the same name used for the character as in the [[1957]] film ''[[Wikipedia:Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (film)|Gunfight at the O. K. Corral]]''. | ||
*[[Anthony Jacobs]] was the father of [[Matthew Jacobs]], who wrote [[DW]]: [[Doctor Who (1996)|''Doctor Who'' (1996)]] 30 years later. | |||
