When captured by [[Grey (The Highlanders)|Solicitor Grey]] in [[Scotland]] in [[1746]], the [[Second Doctor]] put on a [[German]] accent and cited Article Seventeen of the '''Alien Act''', [[1930]]. He declared that, under this act, a citizen of a foreign power cannot be [[hanging|hanged]] without informing their [[ambassador]] first.

In the real world, the [[1705]] Alien act was a [[law]] passed in [[England]] which instructed the population to consider [[Scotland|Scots]] as [[alien]]s. This entailed various negative measures that forced the [[Scottish Parliament]] to consider full union with England. The two later joined to create the [[United Kingdom]]. | |||
