*During this play, the Doctor uses the Delphon
eyebrow language, first mentioned in theThird Doctor serial "Spearhead from Space ".*The title can also be read as Doctor Whoish as the cover is filled with words end with "-ish".
*The Doctor is pressed into giving the conference attendees an humorous anecdote; the audience misses most, but returns to the Doctor telling the audience, "and then he said, 'Sausage? SAUSAGE!?' and ran out of the room" to much laughter. This seems to be a reference to the
Blackadder episodeInk and Incapability , whereSamuel Johnson (as played byRobbie Coltrane ) makes the same exclamation at the episode's end, realizing he has left the word "sausage" out of his nascent dictionary. Both the Blackadder episode and this radio drama dealt with dictionaries and word-meanings.*Several sound effects for the lexisphere are re-used from the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series.
