* While main character David Taylor and his family originate from Paul Magrs' novel ''The Diary of a Dr Who Addict'', details of their lives are altered for ''Imaginary Boys''. ''The Diary of a Dr Who Addict'' has David as a 12 year old boy in [[1982]]; in ''Imaginary Boys'', David is 17 in 2013. ''Imaginary Boys'' replaces David's love of ''Doctor Who'' with a love for science fiction books and stories in general.

* ''Imaginary Boys'' received a side-bar article in ''[[Radio Times]]''. It contained a piece of artwork created by [[Stuart Manning]].[http://lifeonmagrs.blogspot.ca/2013/09/my-first-afternoon-play-on-radio-4-next.html]
* While David and his family may originate from ''Strange Boy'' and ''The Diary of a Dr Who Addict'', ''Imaginary Boys'' features a different history for them. Most notably, David's pre-''Imaginary Boys'' appearances show him being an adolescent in the [[1980s]].
* Just like Magrs' previous stories about David, elements of ''Imaginary Boys'' are based off of Magrs' life. When Magrs was queer-bashed at the age of 17, his father was the police officer who took his statement on the assault.
