[edit] Notes

  1. The compact disc release includes a floor plan of the building where most of the action takes place, to aid the listener in following the action.
  2. Nyssa and the Doctor speculate that the monsters in this story were involved in the Permian-Triassic extinction event, a massive reduction in Earth's biodiversity some 251.1 million years ago. They also make reference to events of the television serial Earthshock, which provides an explanation for the similar Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event.
