"How, in TV: The Five Doctors, does the Second Doctor know that the Time Lords had erased the memories of Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe Heriot?"

Answer: He knows because the Time Lords told him in "The War Games." When the Doctor said, "they'll forget me, won't they?", one of the Time Lords replied that they'd remember their first adventure with the Doctor, but nothing more.

So the Doctor was well aware of what had been done to Jamie and Zoe's memories.

I don't understand why that point is continually raised in season 6B discussions, given that it's established in dialogue that the Doctor knows how much Jamie and Zoe will remember.

On the other hand, the Doctor shouldn't have said, "how do you know who we are?" to the Jamie and Zoe phantoms in "The Five Doctors." He should have asked how they know who the Brigadier is.
