Notes

An introduction to the UNIT series, UNIT: The Coup was given away free with Doctor Who Magazine #351 and is currently available to download for free from the Big Finish website.
The series sees UNIT in an ongoing battle with its xenophobic rival, ICIS.
The short story "The Terror of the Darkness" in the collection Short Trips: A Day in the Life revealed that Chaudhry and Hoffman had previously travelled with the Sixth Doctor. Their adventures continued in "Incongruous Details" (Short Trips: The Centenarian).
Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood also appears in Sympathy for the Devil. "The Wasting" was recorded shortly before David Tennant started filming as the Tenth Doctor.
The Wasting is directed by Nicola Bryant, best known for playing the Fifth and Sixth Doctor's companion, Peri Brown. In this audio drama, she plays Sergeant Willis under the pseudonym "Nora Brande".
