Before long the time travellers find themselves on the run in the Punishment Dome, a place where rebels are executed live on television for the pleasure of the Varosian people.

Notable Information

 * Raaga was a Terileptil prison planet, used by the people of Harkol to mine Tinclavic.
 * The planet Varos in the constellation of Cetes, was a former planet for the criminally insane, and had no indigenous vegetation or animal life.
 * Zeiton-7 is found on the planet Varos and on the asteroid Bio-Sculptor.
 * Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843.
 * In the 1996 Decalog 3, short stories collection, writer Steven Moffat contributed a story called ‘Continuity Errors, a story in which the Seventh Doctor went back into somebody’s earlier life (in this case a Librarian’s), changing events that would change what sort of person they became in later years. This is similar to the Eleventh Doctors relationship with Kazran Sardick.
