Notes


  • Voyage to Venus was the third story in Big Finish Productions’ Doctor Who Special Releases range.
  • The Third Doctor knew a joke about trusting a Venusian Shanghorn with a perigosto stick. (The Green Death)
  • Jago refers to the Palace Theatre and Li H’sen Chang. (The Talons of Weng Chiang)
  • Litefoot knows what a body looks like after it has been mauled by a giant animal. (The Talons of Weng Chiang)
  • Jago and Litefoot sing God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen to soothe the Shanghorn which Felina later decides would be a good basis for a lullaby. This would perhaps become the Venusian lullaby that the Third Doctor sang to Aggedor on Peladon. (The Curse of Peladon, The Monster of Peladon)
  • The Doctor says “Always do what you’re best at, that’s what I say “. (Nightmare of Eden)
