Producer John Ainsworth said “I always like to see, in the scripts, something slightly pushing the Doctor into territory that he doesn’t always go into.

Colin Baker added: “Constance is a character I’m getting fonder the more I work with her. Like most companions, she’s very good for my Doctor – I haven’t met a companion yet who isn’t good for my Doctor, because they all bring new things that deflect him from his tired old ways sometimes, and Constance is one of those.”
