* The Second Doctor is working for the [[Time Lord]]s in seeming contrast to his being on the run from them during his second incarnation. This suggests that he was taken out of time by the Time Lords at some later point, which may or may not have been connected to the [[Season 6B]] hypothesis. | * The Second Doctor is working for the [[Time Lord]]s in seeming contrast to his being on the run from them during his second incarnation.

* The scene where the Sixth Doctor poisons Shockeye is one of the few times that the Doctor has deliberately taken a life face-to-face.
