Notes

*The entire play is presented in the style of a factual radio broadcast, and to that end the play is devoid of the ''Doctor Who'' theme music (although snatches of the McCoy-era version of the tune can be heard in parts of the "tuning" sequences at the start of the episodes) as well as incidental music, or trailers for future Big Finish releases. Also each act takes place in real time. The four episodes are separated by static, and there are no episode reprises in the following parts. *Ace does not appear in Part 1 of this play. Hex does not appear in Parts 1 or 2.
