Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • An audiobook of the story was read by Frazer Hines.
  • This story was a crossover with the author's young adult novel series, Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, which features the Archons and their Nameless City.
  • Second Doctor actor Patrick Troughton had played a character called The Archon in the final episode of Space: 1999. Considering the Archons of The Nameless City came from Michael Scott's young adult novel series Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, it is not known whether Scott knew of Troughton's character in the final episode of Space: 1999 when he wrote the Second Doctor story The Nameless City.
