Background

Smith created the character of the Albino prior to "The Albino's Dancer" in a "Doctor Who" short story, "Virgo the Virgin", which was submitted for the Big Finish Productions anthology "" but ultimately rejected. It is available on [http://website.lineone.net/~terry.pin/Telos.htm Smith's webpage] together with an introduction for the novella in the style of the introductions for the Telos Doctor Who novellas and a missing chapter from the novella hidden as an Easter egg [http://www.gallifreyone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83337] .

Smith's previous novel was dedicated to "Cathy Howkins", the same name as the main character of the novella.

In a [http://www.doctorwhothelegacy.co.uk/season5/matrix.html downloadable interview] , Smith has suggested that the novella bears some similarity to "The Time Traveller's Wife", although he states he had not read the book before writing the novella.
