- The Five Companions was Big Finish Productions’ subscriber-free release for 2011
- This is a special release given away to Big Finish subscribers who have Army of Death as part of their subscription.
- Ian and Steven previously met in the Mechanoid City on Mechanus. (The Chase)
- Ian sets a trap for a Dalek by placing a sheet of metal on the floor in the hopes of disrupting the static electricity supply by which they are powered and subsequently disguises himself as a Dalek. He did both of these in his first encounter with them on Skaro. (The Daleks)
- The Sontarans have records of all The Doctor’s incarnations. They recognise the Fifth Doctor from their encounter with him on Samur. (Heroes of Sontar)
- The Doctor initially believes that he and his former companions are trapped in an artificial construct which has been created by The Master. (The Five Doctors)
- Polly claims sarcastically that making coffee was usually her main contribution to the proceedings. (The Tenth Planet, The Moonbase)
- Commander Skaal refers to the Sontaran invasion of Gallifrey. (The Invasion of Time)
- The Doctor tells Ian that he had intended to visit him several months earlier. This is a reference to the original plans for Mawdryn Undead, which had envisaged Ian taking the part ultimately allocated to Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.
- Nyssa would later encounter the Fifth Doctor in her mind shortly before his regeneration into the Sixth Doctor.
