It is suggested in ''[[The Taking of Planet 5]]'' that the Tersurans actually exist and communicate in the manner described in ''Curse''; during the novel, the [[Eighth Doctor]] faces a creature called a [[Memeovore]], a devourer of concept, which is apparently responsible for the Tersurans' unusual means of communication when it deprives them of the concept of other means of expressing themselves.
