Behind the scenes

 * A character named Raine Cunningham was intended to become a companion of the Seventh Doctor following Ace's departure in the unmade Season 27 of Doctor Who (which would have aired in 1990 had the series not been cancelled). A feature in DWM 255 gave the character the name Kate Tollinger, but according to an interview with script editor Andrew Cartmel in DWM 433, the character was always intended to be named Raine. The character is being revived in the second season of Big Finish Productions' The Lost Stories, which would follow the intended stories for Season 27. However the character has been renamed Raine Creevy, as Cartmel had since discovered someone of the name Raine Cunningham existed in real life. In The Lost Stories, she is played by Beth Chalmers.
