[edit] Trivia

  • This audio drama is based on an earlier Audio Visuals story of the same name.
  • Some of the action of this story takes place during a Dalek invasion of Earth in the 22nd century; this is the same invasion as the one depicted in the First Doctor serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth (the plan to remove the Earth's core is mentioned, as well as the mine works in Bedfordshire). The date of this story is given as 2158; the TV serial, which has yet to occur (the revolt against the Daleks which the First Doctor will instigate, has not yet happened), takes place in or after 2164, later in the invasion's history.
  • A director's cut of the first episode was included with the Doctor Who Magazine bonus CD story Cuddlesome.
