"Glorious Goodwood", one of the earliest recorded audio stories of ''Doctor Who'', takes place between this serial and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E5PlanetOfTheSpiders Planet of the Spiders]]". It was actually filmed during Jon Pertwee's soon-to-conclude tenure right before he left the role of the Doctor. However, it never made it to air and was reallocated to the shelves of the BBC Archives as an unfinished production. It was rediscovered in 2005, after Pertwee had passed, and included on '' Doctor Who at the BBC: Volume 3'', a CD containing stories narrated by Elisabeth Sladen, who was still alive at the time of release.

He doesn't actually get to be name of the third one.Galactic Federation. He makes good on his promise when he sics the other Ice Warriors on a group of attacking miners, killing them all on the spot. Given that [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E2TheCurseOfPeladon the serial that this one is a sequel to]] depicted the Ice Warriors as having given up needless cruelty, only attacking to defend themselves and/or their allies, Azaxyr's statement acts as the first hint that his intentions aren't as noble as he claims.
