Notes[]
Textless cover art
- This anthology was originally due for release in July but was pushed back to September because of changes in the production schedule.[1]
- This box set was recorded on 2-6 and 9 March 2020 at The Moat Studios.
- The General makes his Big Finish debut. He was due to appear in the fifth series of The War Doctor audio series, but his appearance was delayed following John Hurt's death, therefore forcing volume five to be cancelled.[2]
