Author Notes

Lex Christian upholds another New Adventures tradition – retconning a sex life for a television companion. I think, in the course of sixty books, that we managed to deflower every regular character from the TV series. Apart from K9 – and I once proposed a book where K9 got a robot dog girlfriend. Ironic for a company called Virgin, I know, but their ‘erotic fiction’ line was edited in the same room, and something clearly rubbed off. So to speak. Bizarrely, there were plenty of Who references in the mucky books, too... or so I’m told.

The Drahvins and Bandrils were among the more rubbish of the Doctor Who monsters. The joke here, not that the Brigadier realises, is that some alien invasions were beneath the Doctor’s dignity to deal with.

Benny changes into the outfit she was wearing on the cover of her first novel, Love and War.

The description of Twelve Monkeys could equally well apply to the TV Movie.

Ha! I was right. I was right about Star Trek X. Five years before it was written, I guessed right! The line ‘they knew it was the last one, so they could get away with all sorts of stuff’ could be the tagline for The Dying Days.
