Characters[]

Worldbuilding[]

  • Andrea Talwinning was born in 2625.

Notes[]

  • This was Steven Moffat's first professionally published Doctor Who-related storyline. He would go on to pen the 1999 spoof The Curse of Fatal Death before becoming a multi-Hugo Award-winning scriptwriter for the revived series from 2005 to 2008, and then the show's executive producer commencing in 2009.
  • Moffat reused the idea of the Doctor travelling back in time to alter a person's perception of him in the television story A Christmas Carol.
  • The idea of a planet-sized library was later reused in the television story Silence in the Library, while the story’s description of the Doctor was later echoed by his self-identification as a “complicated space-time event” in Flesh and Stone, and as “a complex space-time event” more “explosive” than he looked in Boom.
  • Professor Candy himself would ultimately get a televised cameo in the final scene of Let's Kill Hitler.
  • Moffat originally considered calling this story either History MD or The Curse Of Fatal Death, the latter of which he later used.[1]
