32 years later, Secrets of the Stars: Part One (2008) was originally intended to be a sequel to "Masque of Mandragora." But, most likely because of Big Finish Audio's already existing sequel, the references to Mandragora were all eliminated.
The storyline of this episode had a sequel of sorts in the second season of the Big Finish Audio spin-off series "Sarah Jane Smith" released in 2006.
This episode was watched by 10.6 million viewers on its original transmission.
This episode takes place in San Martino, Italy in 1492.
German classical music label Archiv Produktion provided the three tracks used at the masque, all taken from their 1972 disc "Tanzmusik der Renaissance" (Archiv 2533 111).
