Notes
The events portrayed in Death Comes to Time appear to be at odds with established Doctor Who continuity.
The apparent death of the Doctor seems to conflict with his regeneration into the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 telemovie,
However, it is theorized that this was a ruse, and the Doctor didn't use the full extent of his power;This might explain the sudden departure of Ace.
The fate of Ace conflicts with other spin-offs such as the Virgin New Adventures and various comic strips, although these were already incompatible with one another.
More significantly, it is implicitly disputed by Sarah Jane Smith's statement in The Sarah Jane Adventures television episode, "Death of the Doctor".
The god-like powers demonstrated by the Time Lords here were rarely seen in the television series, though they are in keeping with developments to the Seventh Doctor's character towards the end of the series.
The Doctor claims in the story to have never been a baby; this is implicitly disputed by the Tenth Doctor in "The Last of the Time Lords" and definitively contradicted by the Eleventh Doctor in "A Good Man Goes to War".
This was the first Doctor Who webcast. Three more followed: Real Time, Shada and Scream of the Shalka.
The episode titles of the five episodes were Pilot Episode or At the Temple of the Fourth, Planet of Blood, The Prisoner, No Child of Earth, Death Comes to Time.
The pilot was originally commissioned for BBC Radio 4, but they declined to broadcast it or to commission a series. As an experiment, BBCi agreed to webcast it, and its popularity led them to commission the full series.
"Colin Meek" is widely understood to be a pseudonym for producer Dan Freedman.
Artwork for the webcast animations was provided by comic strip artist Lee Sullivan.
Some unnamed characters in this story are also portrayed by Dan Freedman, Richard Garaghty, Demetri Goritsas, John Humphrys, Benjamin Langley, David Soul, Moray Treadwell.
