* NamesTheSame: "N-Space" here isn't related to the use of "N-Space" (meaning our Universe) in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E5WarriorsGate the E-Space trilogy]].

* SuddenlyEthnicity: TheBrigadier is one eighth Italian, seven eighths Scottish.

Both episodes were novelised by their author. A third episode was planned, but cancelled due to Creator/JonPertwee's ActorExistenceFailure. However, a third story (recorded in 1974) with the title "Glorious Goodwood" does exist, which is ten minutes long -- and was kept hidden in the BBC archives until 2005.

The first episode, "Radio/TheParadiseOfDeath", sees UNIT investigating a theme park which seems to have actual alien monsters on display. The plot eventually takes the gang to an alien world where a single source of food and energy has plunged its population into apathy. BreadAndCircuses and VirtualReality (and combinations of the two) have replaced all entertainment, and the Doctor has some very nasty suspicions as to where the fertiliser for the universal food source comes from. Team TARDIS joins up with LaResistance to liberate the planet and overthrow the MegaCorp. The episode takes place after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E1TheTimeWarrior "The Time Warrior"]].

In 1993 and 1994, two BBC radio plays were produced for ''DoctorWho'', starring the Third Doctor, TheBrigadier and Sarah Jane Smith. Joining team TARDIS in both stories is a new character named Jeremy Fitzoliver, Sarah Jane's ditzy coworker.
