Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

• In the real world, German East Africa (1885-1919) became the Territory of Tanganyika (1922-1961), which became the independent Republic of Tanganyika (1962-1964). In 1964, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged together as Tanzania.
• Tanganyika was also located in East Africa, rather than West Africa as in the Doctor Who universe.
