In the pattern of many BBC Books ''[[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]]'' stories which feature the Doctor without ever explicitly identifying them,<ref>See also ''[[Many Happy Returns (audio story)|Many Happy Returns]]'' and ''[[Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)|Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars]]'', in which [[Sylvester McCoy]]'s and [[Peter Capaldi]]'s characters, respectively, are recognised as the Doctor because the stories were released by publishers of ''Doctor Who'' like [[Ebury Publishing]], namely [[Big Finish Productions]] and [[BBC One]].</ref> Claudia's brilliant but [[amnesia]]c love interest in ''The Stranger'' was the Eighth Doctor under the alias [[Paul Bowman|"Doctor Paul Bowman"]]. Indeed, when Claudia was mentioned in ''Father Time'', she was said to have spent time with the Doctor at a time when he had lost his memory, matching Bowman's appearance and characteristics in ''The Stranger''.
