 * Eighth Doctor
 * Stacy Townsend
 * Ssard

Continuity

 * Stacy and Ssard would later appear in PROSE: Placebo Effect.
 * The ending to this story bears a striking resemblance to the end of TV: The Almost People. In both stories, it is revealed that the main female companion (Stacy Townsend in this story's case, Amy Pond in The Almost People) had been replaced with a member of a shape-shifting species. In both cases the Doctor used his technology to revert them to their natural form (shape-shifting organism and flesh, respectively).
