* Shockeye is a cannibal. ''This is unproven as Shockeye, who had wanted to kill, cook, then eat both Jamie and Peri, is not human. For him to be a cannibal, he would have to eat Androgums.'' ''However, Chessene makes a statement that not all creatures eat their own kind, implying that Androgums do.'' | * Shockeye is a cannibal.

* This story is the reason for the [[Season 6B]] theory. ''Though this was the first potential implication of such on-screen, the idea of a gap between ''[[The War Games]]'' and ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'' was seen earlier in ''Doctor Who'' fiction. The first proponents of the basic outlines of the Season 6B theory were the artists working on the Second Doctor's ''[[TV Comic]]'' run. The basic idea that the Second Doctor didn't immediately regenerate at the end of ''The War Games'' owes its existence to [[TVC]]: ''[[Action in Exile]]'', more than it does ''The Two'' or ''The Five Doctors''. It does add to the Season 6B concept, however. ''The Two Doctors'' contains the innovation that the Doctor was, at least on one occasion, sent on a special mission by the Time Lords. It also could be interpreted to imply that the Doctor might have been able to get Jamie's memories restored, and then somehow convinced an older Victoria to start travelling with him again. Alternatively, decades later, the mini-episode [[DW]]: ''[[Time Crash]]'' provided a rationale for the [[Fifth Doctor]] having aged because he was taken out of his own time; the rationale could be extended to suggest why the Second Doctor appears aged here, and therefore imply that this story could have taken place much earlier in his incarnation - e.g., before ''War Games''. | * This story is the reason for the [[Season 6B]] theory.
