Notes
- The cover and promotional photographs for Dark Eyes are the first to not feature the Eighth Doctor in the clothes (or variations thereof) he wore in his original television appearance in the 1996 TV Movie. The new outfit was premiered in 2010 at the Armageddon Pop Culture Expo, along with a redesigned Sonic Screwdriver, courtesy of Weta Workshop. These changes were independently produced and were not affiliated with Big Finish Productions or the BBC, but were accepted as suitable for official use after the fact.[5]
- Three sequel series have been released. The first, Dark Eyes 2, was released in February 2014. Dark Eyes 3 and 4 came out in November 2014 and March 2015, respectively.[6]
