From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
→Myths: it's not a myth that shockeye was a cannibal because the script flatly says he was.
(→Myths: the source of a myth can't be a non-peer reviewed site, like wikipeidia or tv.com. this is not a reputable myth, but just some person on tv.com waffling after pressing the edit button) |

* 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.
