Continuity During this story, the exterior of the TARDIS is rendered white when a cannonball shatters its corporeal shell. It remains white for the next several stories, finally returning to blue in Black and White. The spare TARDIS key hidden behind the "Police Box" P was first revealed in the 1996 TV movie.
Cast notes Hugh Bonneville would later play Captain Avery in the Eleventh Doctor episode "The Curse of the Black Spot".
Notes In the Whovian timeline, this story takes place between Enemy of the Daleks and Project: Destiny
Critical reception Doctor Who Magazine reviewer Matt Michael criticised the underuse of both Tolstoy and Nightingale, but found that "its charms outweigh its flaws".
