Production and Casting

Katarina Olsson has previously appeared in several Big Finish audio plays as the Headhunter, including the previous Eighth Doctor audio season.
The story is a spoof of the BBC's hit motoring TV series Top Gear, with one presenter 'the Ferret' having an accident mirroring the real-life accident of Top Gear's Richard Hammond AKA 'the Hamster'.
Geoffrey Vantage is a satirical caricature of Jeremy Clarkson
Timbo AKA 'the Ferret' is a satirical caricature of Richard Hammond
O'Reilley is a satirical caricature of James May
The story quotes The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, himself once a writer and script editor for the "Doctor Who" television program. These include a description of a ship as a "Lazlar Lyricon custom job," as well as the line, "looks like a brick, steers like a shopping trolley," which echoes Ford Prefect's description of a Lazlar Lyricon ship: "Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow."
The "Cobra Mk-III" ship is a direct reference to the game Elite. In the closing minute, a page for Flight Commander P.R. Johnson to contact the intergalactic operator is a reference to RAH Band's hit song, Clouds Across the Moon.

Radio broadcast

Following its release on CD, Max Warp was broadcast in the UK on BBC Radio 7 on 2008-10-26.^[1]
