Notes

1. This is the first of two Big Finish audios set in the continuity of the Virgin New Adventures era of Doctor Who, and was the first time that Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred played their characters from this era. The second such audio play was The Dark Flame.
2. Benny's being quite taken with the possible Eighth Doctor shall have a certain relevance in The Dying Days, when she briefly develops romantic feelings for the Eighth Doctor.
