Notes[]
- The strip marked the twentieth anniversary of Doctor Who Magazine. The story is set on the very day Doctor Who Weekly first saw print and ends with a confused Doctor looking at the first issue. The date is also said to be when Izzy was born.
- The strip's title is a nod to TV Action, which published the Doctor Who comic strip prior to the launch of Doctor Who Magazine.
- Baker's rambling lines are taken from actual interviews with Baker.
- Many references are made to 1979 BBC shows, with cameo appearances by actors who refer to themselves by their characters' names: the TARDIS lands in the Blue Peter garden, near the memorial statue to Petra the dog; the first people met are extras in Blake's 7 Federation soldier costumes; brainwashed servants of Meep include actors from The Onedin Line (1971-1980), Grange Hill (1978-2008), Are You Being Served? (pilot: 1972, 1973-79, 1981-85) and Fawlty Towers (1975, 1979), as well as the puppet character Basil Brush; and BBC Outside Broadcast vans are used to transmit black star energy.
