Timeline
Time placement for this story is extremely problematic, as there is no mention of any companions for the Doctor. The lack of positive reference to them means we are free to imagine that this is genuinely a solo second Doctor story, which means it could be placed anywhere there's a natural gap in the televised stories. Because World Distributors depicted the second Doctor as wearing his stovepipe hat, even when travelling with Jamie and Zoe, we can't even say that this story necessarily happens between The Power of the Daleks and ''The Highlanders. However, conventional wisdom likely holds that this story is set in "table of contents order", thus:
 * This story occurs after DWA: The Tests of Trefus
 * This story occurs before DWA: Only a Matter of Time
