Notes[edit | edit source]

*Sub Zero is rare example of a Doctor Who story to begin with a typographical symbol — in this case, an asterisk — instead of an alphabetic or numeric character. Later examples include:
- PROSE: ...And Eternity in an Hour in 1996
- AUDIO: ...ish in 2002
- PROSE: /Carpenter/Butterfly/Baronet in 2004
- PROSE: ...Be Forgot in 2004
- PROSE: £436 in 2008
- PROSE: ...and from the Tower She Did Fall in 2013
- AUDIO: #HarrySullivan in 2019

The Daleks are led by a black and gold Dalek. The same colour scheme was used for the Dalek Supreme who appeared on the television series in Planet of the Daleks in the following year.
