This was the last of the Virgin New Adventures to be dramatised in this way; subsequent Big Finish Bernice audio dramas were all original works. The adaptation was by Jacqueline Rayner, who adapted most of this first series of Benny audios. Richard Franklin, better known as the actor who played Captain Mike Yates in Doctor Who, makes an appearance.
