Behind the scenes
John Lucarotti was a real-world writer who had worked on Doctor Who during the Hartnell era, and who also wrote The Meeting. Although it is not directly explained in the story, the underlining implication is that that character within the story is himself, being visited by a character whom he had once written for.
