- Revenge of the Slitheen saw the return of the aliens from Raxacoricofallapatorius who had first appeared in Doctor Who in 2005 in the episodes Aliens of London and World War Three. They subsequently re-appeared later the same season in Boom Town, as well as in Stephen Cole's May 2005 novel Doctor Who: The Monsters Inside.
- Gareth Roberts had previously co-written the first Sarah Jane Adventures story, Invasion of the Bane, with Russell T Davies, as well as writing The Shakespeare Code for the television series, and a number of original Doctor Who novels between 1993 and 2006, beginning with The Highest Science.
