:*The Doctor wears a deerstalker hat, the characteristic headgear of [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s detective [[Sherlock Holmes]].
:*The giant rat is reminiscent of animals grown to enormous size in the [[H.G. Wells]] novel ''[[Food of the Gods]]''. It also may be another Holmes reference, since there is a famous reference to a never-told mystery involving "the giant rat of Sumatra, a story for which the world is not yet prepared."
:*Li H'sen Chang is reminiscent of [[Fu Manchu]], the villain of a series of novels by [[Sax Rohmer]].
