* [[Eric Saward]] spent a holiday in [[Rhodes]] and this influenced the development of his scripts in several respects. Most notably, Orcini was inspired by the Knights Hospitaller who had occupied the island in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Several names were also derived from Saward's time in Rhodes: Tasambeker from the saint Tsambeker (to whom barren women prayed in the hope of conceiving a child), Kara from a local potato called cara, and the planet Necros itself from the Greek word ''nekros'' meaning “corpse”. Other names were adapted from ''The Loved One'', in particular Mr Jobel from Waugh's odious mortician Mr Joyboy. Vogel and Bostock were suggested by Mrs Bogolov and Mrs Komstock, while Arthur Stengos was taken from the cosmetician Aimée Thanatogenos (by way of a ferry boat owner whom Saward met in Rhodes). | * [[Eric Saward]] spent a holiday in [[Rhodes]] and this influenced the development of his scripts in several respects.
