Behind the Scenes
The Slarvians were created by Mark Wright and Cavan Scott for an abandoned Big Finish Productions project. They were first mentioned in the Scream of the Shalka sequel short story The Feast of the Stone, where the Ninth Doctor makes a joke involving a Slarvian and a "fellah in a Quark suit" at a bar. However, their first actual appearance was in Mark Wright's audio drama The Slarvian Menace, part of the Big Finish Productions The Tomorrow People series.
