Notes[]
- The Doctor Who Comics website, Altered Vistas had this to say about the Cybermen's appearance in the strip:
- Yet another cameo for the Cybermen in this glorious and nostalgic strip about what it is to be a Doctor Who fan of a certain age.
- You will note that the cloth-faced Cybermen again make an appearance, making them the single most popular design of Cybermen ever to have appeared in the comics. For me, this strip completely summed up my relationship with Doctor Who through the decades, and is one of the most mature, thoughtful, funny and bitter-sweet strips ever to have been printed. A wonderful piece of writing perfectly illustrated to create something extra special.
- Yet another cameo for the Cybermen in this glorious and nostalgic strip about what it is to be a Doctor Who fan of a certain age.
- This comic is somewhat of a meta-fictional comic, featuring a 'real world' character watching Doctor Who and the Doctor (Fourth) turning up, seemingly the person who is telling the story's friend.
- This is the first time the theme tune has been rendered in a comic, with lyrics:
Da-Lin-Da-Din Da-Lin-Da-Din Da-Lin-Da-Din Wa-ooooo
- Wirrn are seen on a TV screen.
- A Sontaran appears in a field.
- The Master seems to appear, as a teacher.
- Sean constructs a placticine Kraal.
- The Doctor pulls out a bag of jelly babies.
- A Cyberman rises from a grave.

- Sean says he used to buy a Dalek Deathray lollies.
- The Ark in Space referenced.
- Planet of the Daleks or Genesis of the Daleks are also mentioned, probably ("There was the huge army of Daleks underground", given the era in which this is set it could be these two stories).
