- The Butcherof Brisbane was the third story in the 2012 the Fifth Doctor audio trilogy. It was notable for expanding the narrative of The Talons of Weng Chiang.
- According to The Doctor, the 31st century was “all space cities and monorails.”
- Nyssa and Turlough spent a year training in Reykjavik.
- Mr Sin attacked Commissioner Bjarnsdottir’s son with a table fork. However, he survived and could not see what all the fuss was about. In fact, he believed that the cyborg was playing a game with him.
- The Doctor tells Tegan and Ragan that Greel is destined to die in another time. However, he initially refuses to either confirm or deny that he was present for that incident.
- During his fourth incarnation, he and his companion Leela encountered an older version of Greel, who was posing as the Chinese god Weng-Chiang, and Mr Sin in London in 1889. As doing so would alter the course of history, The Doctor never reveals his true identity to the younger Greel. (The Talons of Weng Chiang)
