[edit] Notes

  1. The Doctor claims that the Great Sphinx of Giza predates the neighboring Giza pyramid complex by thousands of years, having been built by refugees from Atlantis. However, he may have been bluffing and nothing is confirmed. Atlantis has been seen or mentioned in several TV serials, including The Underwater Menace, The Time Monster and The Dæmons.
  2. After the Sphinx is damaged during the story, Peri causes it to be repaired with the face of Elvis Presley.
  3. This story features an example of actress Nicola Bryant speaking in an English accent as Peri is affected by a form of alien mind control (as opposed to her usual American accent for the character).
