Those Two Guys
 Look and Read / int_1c79ae8c
comment
Those Two Guys: 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.

Green Aesop
 Look and Read / int_56b53152
comment
Green Aesop: Earthwarp is about the dangers of pollution (although it's a bit Space Whale Aesop about it). Sky Hunter is a more down-to-earth story about how egg-collecting threatens endangered birds.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Look and Read / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Through the Dragon's Eye went over-budget, forcing the producers to remount Sky Hunter as Sky Hunter II.

comment
Framing Story: Many of the storylines had a framing story with the educational bits, often featuring Wordy and a human assistant in a thematically appropriate location.

Doctor Whomage
 Look and Read / int_a7e424c
comment
Doctor Whomage: In Sky Hunter, Geoffrey Bayldon seems to be doing a William Hartnell impression, combined with Jon Pertwee's dress sense, as antiques expert Mr. Trimm. Funnily enough, he was one of the original candidates to play the Doctor.

Amusing Alien

comment
Amusing Alien: 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.
