* The proprietor of the restaurant is an old friend of the Doctor's and a fellow [[renegade Time Lord|renegade]] [[Time Lord]]. | * In Edge's exaggerated version of the Doctor and Peri's actions on Poytee, the Doctor is a bloodthirsty renegade who keeps a cache of weapons in the TARDIS and destroys the entire surface of the planet by activating the chain of subsurface atomic reactors in revenge for one of the inhabitants firing a weapon at Peri. Similarly, Peri is depicted as being equally bloodthirsty, delighting in the Doctor's merciless killing of Palgrave and the extent of the damage that Level 3 of her weapon can do to a humanoid body. After ensuring that all life on the planet would be eradicated, the Doctor proclaims, "The last one back to the TARDIS wipes the blood out of my shirt!" | ||
* In Kettoo's version of the Doctor and Peri's actions on Poytee, the Doctor vents the cooling systems of all of the atomic reactors into the seas, causing the coolant to react with the hydrogen molecules and creating an enormous gas cloud which suffocated every living creature on Poytee. When Palgrave objects, Peri incapacitates him and the Doctor completes the venting process. The Doctor and Peri, though nowhere near as bloodthirsty as in Edge's story, are both utterly convinced that eradicating the population of Poytee is the lesser of two evils if they want to ensure that the infection does not spread beyond the confines of the planet. | |||
* According to Kettoo, the Doctor told Peri that he once bowled either [[W.G. Grace]] or [[W.C. Fields]] for a duck whereas Peri jokingly referred to him as [[Babe Ruth]]. | |||
* In actuality, it was the planet's Scientific Corps which developed the plan to vent selective subsurface atomic generators. The Corps plans to control the spread of the resultant radioactive clouds using a climate modulator and then disperse them into the upper atmosphere. Peri convinced the Corps to delay the implementation of their plan while the Doctor developed a antidote to the Tul-Oz virus from his own blood sample. He then released the cure into the atmosphere where it was activated and dispersed across the surface of the planet using the climate modulator, thus curing the entire population. | |||
