Upstairs was the seventy-first release in the Companion Chronicles audio range

After seeing seven chair legs in the attic, Vicki wonders if there were wooden androids in Victorian London. However, she does not ask the Doctor if this was the case as she thought that it was probably something that she was supposed to already know.

Vicki refers to her former travelling companions Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright.

10 Downing Street was badly built on shallow foundations by a crooked speculator, Sir George Downing, in the 1680s.

The Doctor tells Steven and Vicki that William Pitt the Younger, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, died At The age of 46 in the early 19th century while Steven reads that another Prime Minister, George Canning, died in office in 1827.

That morning, Steven ate bacon and eggs from the TARDIS’ food machine.
