Behind the scenes[]
- Butler has never been identified with a first name, either in Invasion of the Dinosaurs or any spin-off media.
- In Malcolm Hulke's novelisation of the story, but not in the televised version, Butler had a scar on his left cheek from when he was a firefighter, caused by a facial injury sustained by having fallen through a plate glass roof, after he had rescued and passed to safety a child who had crawled out onto a high ledge.
