11	* AdaptationDyeJob: Being played by Travis Oliver (and having his image used in the cover art) means that Chris goes from blonde to brunette.
12	* TheBusCameBack: Courtesy of Big Finish. After starring in a couple of novel adaptations, Chris and Roz returned in The Seventh Doctor: The New Adventures box set in 2018, the first original stories featuring the characters in many years.
13	* BlueBlood: Roz.
14	* DumbMuscle: Downplayed with Chris, who is fairly intelligent but not to the extent of Roz and a lot of the more complicated science he runs into tends to confuse him. Lampshaded in "The Jabari Countdown" where he poses as the Doctor's manservant among a group of elite mathematicians, claiming his main skill is "picking up heavy things".
15	* {{Expy}}: Creator/PaulCornell claimed that Gareth Roberts wrote them as [[Series/BlakesSeven Dayna Mellanby and Del Tarrant]]. Incidentally, Yasmin Bannerman portrays both Dayna and Roz at Big Finish.
16	* FairCop: Both Roz (elegant -- if hilariously cranky -- black lady) and Chris (blond {{Hunk}}) qualify.
17	* FantasticRacism: Roz tends to hold some racist views towards many of the alien species that the TARDIS crew encounter over their adventures. This is often played for irony, as Roz herself is of African descent and comes from a future where humanity has moved past racism based on skin colour -- but when the TARDIS lands in the past, she's often subject to racist views due to her skin colour.
18	* HalfHumanHybrid: In his first appearance, Chris has voluntarily transformed himself into a humanoid bear. He has it reversed soon afterwards.
19	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Roz]].
20	* LadyOfWar: Roz.
21	* PronouncingMyNameForYou: Chris notes that his name ''should'' be pronounced "Shvay", but he's been called Chris "Kwedge" so long he's accepted it rather than keep correcting people.
22	* ShirtlessScene [=/=] MrFanservice: After he gets his teddy bear look removed (see above), it turns out Chris is actually an absolutely ''ripped'' blond hunk of muscle.
