* As in the original audio, "Fred" is the same character that [[Nicholas Briggs]] created as [[Fred|a new incarnation of the Doctor]] for the fan-made ''[[Audio Visuals]]'' series, who also significantly appeared in the comics ''[[Party Animals (comic story)|Party Animals]]'' and ''[[Wormwood (comic story)|Wormwood]]''. For legal reasons, ''Cyber-Hunt'' only uses aspects of the character which are original to Briggs and not BBC-owned, similarly to how the novel ''[[Child of Time (novel)|Child of Time]]'' was able to use [[The Doctor (The Cabinet of Light)|another author-created Doctor]]. | * As in the original audio, "Fred" is the same character that [[Nicholas Briggs]] created as [[Fred|a new incarnation of the Doctor]] for the fan-made ''[[Audio Visuals (fan work)|Audio Visuals]]'' series, who also significantly appeared in the comics ''[[Party Animals (comic story)|Party Animals]]'' and ''[[Wormwood (comic story)|Wormwood]]''.

** The novelisation goes further in these connections than the original audio. A man in black robes, from [[Time Lord|a group who claim non-interference]], has made a deal with Fred to restore Fred's homeworld (which was destroyed in the ''[[Audio Visuals|Audio Visual]]'' ''Planet of Lies'') by separating Fred from his past, which means Fred has to abandon his famous old name. Another version of "Fred" now exists to take up the abandoned name, explaining how the ''Audio Visuals'' Doctor can coexist with the main continuity of the [[Doctor Who universe]]. | ** The novelisation goes further in these connections than the original audio.

* The novelisation adds multiple scenes where time halts and Fred interacts with the man in black, and one where Sergeant Paisley Grange is saved by the man. The last such scene reveals Fred was sent on a mission to hold back Cyberon development. | * The novelisation adds multiple scenes where time halts and Fred interacts with the man in black, and one where Sergeant Paisley Grange is saved by the man.

* As in the original audio, "Fred" mentions that he's "trying to change the habits of a lifetime and end up somewhere trouble-free." This is a reference to the end of ''Justyce'', the final story of the ''[[Audio Visuals]]'', in which the Doctor decides to go on vacation after saving [[Solaados]] and the [[Solaadon]]s and thus ending the stressful Justyce saga. Both versions of ''Cyber-Hunt'' therefore indicate themselves to be immediately following the events of the ''Audio Visuals''. While the new [[man in black (Cyber-Hunt)|man in black]] plotline in the novelised ''Cyber-Hunt'' could be taken to imply unseen events between the end of the ''Audio Visuals'' and the start of ''Cyber-Hunt'', the man in black could be interpreted as the mysterious being introduced in ''Truman's Excellent Adventure'' whom the Doctor makes an unclear deal with during the events of ''Cuddlesome'' in an unresolved plotline, further placing ''Cyber-Hunt'' as a direct continuation of the ''Audio Visuals''. | * As in the original audio, "Fred" mentions that he's "trying to change the habits of a lifetime and end up somewhere trouble-free."

* This story introduced a Cyberon dating controversy of sorts; [[Arcbeatle Press]]'s ''[[Cyberon (anthology)|Cyberon]]'' placed the tail end of the [[Cyberon War]], when the Cyberons start developing the nanite-based [[Conversion Engine]]s, in [[3009]], dating with which ''[[Cybergeddon (novelisation)|Cybergeddon]]'' remained consistent, while this story depicts the War's end in the year [[2777]]. | * This story introduced a Cyberon dating controversy of sorts; [[Arcbeatle Press]]'s ''[[Cyberon (anthology)|Cyberon]]'' placed the tail end of the [[Cyberon War]], when the Cyberons start developing the nanite-based [[Conversion Engine]]s, in [[3009]], dating with which ''[[Cybergeddon (novelisation)|Cybergeddon]]'' remained consistent, while this story depicts the War's end in the year [[2777]]. | ||
