Despite his exile coming to an end, the Doctor continued to work with UNIT on a regular basis and retain his home base there for the remainder of his third incarnation. Following his regeneration, however, the [[Fourth Doctor|new Doctor]] finally took full advantage of his freedom and quickly weaned himself away from UNIT, save for the occasional collaboration, ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'', ''[[Terror of the Zygons]]'', ''[[The Android Invasion (TV story)|The Android Invasion]]'', etc.) and also took part in adventures on Earth on a less-frequent basis than he had done previously, although he never officially resigned from UNIT.

== Alternate timelines ==
== Other realities ==
At least three alternate versions of the Doctor's exile were witnessed, two of them seeing the Doctor having never escaped his exile.
 
An alternate Doctor lived on Earth for over a thousand years, surrendering on Earth's behalf to an [[Ice Warrior]] invasion in 2010. He lived in a house and now used a wheelchair, having never regenerated. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'')

The [[Quantum Archangel]] created a timeline in which [[Melanie Bush]] was Prime Minister in [[2003]], with the Doctor still exiled on Earth in his third incarnation. During a [[Cybermen (Mondas)|Cybermen]] invasion, the Doctor betrayed Earth to the Cybermen to regain his ability to travel in time.

The [[Quantum Archangel]] created a parallel universe in which [[Melanie Bush]] was Prime Minister in [[2003]], with the Doctor still exiled on Earth in his third incarnation. During a [[Cybermen (Mondas)|Cybermen]] invasion, the Doctor betrayed Earth to the Cybermen to regain his ability to travel in time.

In another timeline, the [[The Doctor (Sympathy for the Devil)|Doctor]] — regenerated into a different incarnation —  arrived on Earth in [[Hong Kong]] in [[1997]] rather than on Earth in the 1970s, witnessing a timeline where Earth had been forced to exist without him for almost thirty years. Although the TARDIS was only able to travel in space as the Time Lords had placed an inhibitor in it and removed the Doctor's knowledge of how to bypass it, by taking the TARDIS to a location where a nuclear bomb was about to be detonated, the Doctor was able to give the ship a powerful "kick" that disabled the inhibitor and allowed him to travel freely once more.

In one universe, the exile was self-imposed as an attempt to evade the Time Lords after summoning them to deal with the War Lords. After arriving at [[London]] in [[2000]], the [[Second Doctor (Exile)|Second Doctor]] committed suicide so that he could better hide. The [[Third Doctor (Exile)|Third Doctor]] lived like an ordinary human for some time before she was found by the Time Lords and punished. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Exile (audio story)|Exile]]'')
