*the fictional Caloophid was first referenced in the first episode of the radio version of this show, on 8th March 1978, but was later referenced in Destiny of the Daleks (script edited by Hitch Hikers writer Douglas Adams), making this a tangental reference to Doctor Who, albeit a peculiar way around.
