Notes
- This episode went out back to back with “Space Babies“.
- The actor who plays Timothy Drake (Jeremy Limb) in the cold open is the real life son of Roger Limb. Roger did incidental music for several Doctor Who serials in the 80’s – one of the highlights was Caves of Androzani.
- The old woman who gets killed by Maestro is in real life June Hudson. June was a costume designer in the classic era. She designed the burgundy outfit for the Fourth Doctor in his final series (amongst many other things).
- The destroyed future London is a huge throwback to Pyramids of Mars when the Fourth Doctor showed the same kind of thing to Sarah Jane Smith.

connected to the Toymaker. Maestro is played quite well by Jinx Monsoon - pretty well cast. I thought this was perfectly weird, but it's getting mixed reviews. Has a dance number! pic.twitter.com/4j277MN1Of
