[edit] Notes
- The consequences of the Doctor's rescue of Charley from the R101 in Storm Warning are a plot point in this story.
- While trying to jog Charley's memory, the Doctor mentions the curse on "Count Orsino", meaning Duke Orsino from The Stones of Venice, as well as the Psionovores from Minuet in Hell. He also mentions finding a first edition of Oliver Twist in Charing Cross Road, an event not depicted in earlier audio plays.
