The Doctor Who Logo

  • This is the First Sci-Fi Cruise Film.
  • This Story has many official doctor who stars reprise there TV roles.
  • There's a bit of a Continuity issue. The Sixth Doctor is seen with Jamie, implying this adventure is set within the Land of Fiction, however the sequel has the Seventh doctor. Unless The Sixth Doctor picked up the real Jamie later in his timeline, it doesn't make sense.
  • Despite the Doctor Who Logo, The Doctor himself only makes a small cameo. This means the story can be considered a Brigadier Spin-off.
