Notes

This story marked the directorial debut of Jason Haigh-Ellery.
This story, whose original release in Buried Treasures has long been out of print, cannot be rereleased commercially for contractual reasons. ^[1]
It was rereleased for free as part of The Big Finish Podcast on 28 January 2010.
The character of Keri comes from Gary Russell's novel Legacy. She later appeared, under her full name Ker'a'nol, in the sixth season Bernice Summerfield story The Goddess Quandary, but was voiced by another actor.
This audio drama was recorded on 9 January 1999 in Gary Gillatt and Ed Salt's flat.

Continuity

Ker'a'nol is introduced as Bernice Summerfield's best friend. However, she has only met Bernice a few times before and neither appearance was in the 26th century. The reason for this discrepancy is picked up on in AUDIO: The End of the World.
