* There are references to the elements of the television stories ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'' and ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'', as well as ''[[The Masters of Luxor (TV story)|The Masters of Luxor]]'', an unmade serial from [[Season 1]] which was later produced in audio drama form by [[Big Finish Productions]] as ''[[The Masters of Luxor (audio story)|The Masters of Luxor]]''.

* There are many similarities between this story and ''[[Auld Mortality (audio story)|Auld Mortality]]'', another audio drama in the Unbound series. Both stories are about a struggling writer penning stories about travels in time and space as the Doctor, and being reunited with a family member as they begin to get fiction and reality confused. They also both feature alternate First Doctors. However, in ''Auld Mortality'', the main character actually was the Doctor, whereas [[Martin Bannister]] just believes himself to be. In a way, this story could be seen as a dark parody of the other. This story's ending is a dark mirror of that story's, with Martin believing himself to be leaving in the TARDIS with Susan, as the Doctor did in this story, as he in reality suffocates to death in a wardrobe. The TARDIS being disguised as a wardrobe is also mentioned in ''Auld Mortality'' as a theoretical possibly.
