Characters

 * Sixth Doctor
 * Peri Brown
 * Harry Sullivan

Continuity

 * Harry Sullivan's appearance suggests that at some point he resumed travelling with the Doctor. The book does not reveal why he has rejoined the Doctor.
 * Peri is illustrated on the cover with a longer hairstyle than she sported during Season 22, yet her hair isn't curly like it is in Season 23, likely placing this story between those two seasons.
