* AmusingAlien: Ollie from ''Earthwarp'', for the most part is a comedic character. He pretty much has the mind of a child, is constantly hungry and struggles to hide himself from the hotel guests and staff.
Added DiffLines:
* ThoseTwoGuys: Mrs Grant and Mrs Ramsden from ''Earthwarp'' are two elderly guests at the Rowlands' hotel. Their main purpose is to react to the strange goings on around them and the bizarre behavior of the other characters. This comes to an end at roughly the halfway point when Mrs Grant, after being terrified by a sleepwalking Ollie, decides she's had enough and cuts her holiday short.

* DoctorWhomage: In ''Sky Hunter'', Geoffrey Bayldon seems to be doing a Creator/WilliamHartnell impression, combined with Creator/JonPertwee's dress sense, as antiques expert Mr. Trimm. Funnily enough, he was one of the original candidates to play the Doctor.
Added DiffLines:
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: ''Through the Dragon's Eye'' went over-budget, forcing the producers to remount ''Sky Hunter'' as ''Sky Hunter II''.
* SequelEpisode: ''Sky Hunter II'' adds some new segments with the now-grown up characters working for the RSPB, played by the original actors. We also find out that two of the characters got married and have a baby.
