Notes
- The "Doctor Who Discovers…" range of books which in this drama were written by the Doctor were a real range of books published by Target Books in 1977. The five titles were Early Man, Space Travel, Strange and Mysterious Creatures, Prehistoric Animals, and The Conquerors.
- The publishing company's robot addresses the Doctor as "Doctor Who" reminiscent of WOTAN in The War Machines, but the Doctor says that this was due to a typographical error by the publishers. The title of the books should be "The Doctor who discovers prehistoric animals".
