Notes

*This was the first Big Finish "Doctor Who" adventure in which David Tennant participated; in 2005, he became the tenth actor to play the Doctor in the television series.
*When Ace and the Doctor discover where and when they've landed, Ace says "Nazis again; I can't stand Nazis." Ace previously encountered Nazis in the television serial "Silver Nemesis". The television serial "The Curse of Fenric", in which Ace also appeared, was set during World War II but did not feature any Nazi characters.
*Ace mentions having "played the board game" about escaping from Colditz; see Colditz Castle in popular culture for images of several such games.
*The plot of this story partly turns on the presence of a CD Walkman in Ace's rucksack, which, if left behind, would cause a historical anomaly. Ace mentions that she got this player in the 21st century from Paul Tanner, a character in the earlier audio play "The Fearmonger".
