* The [[mindbending]] contest at the end of part four proves conclusively that the Doctor regenerated multiple times prior to [[William Hartnell]]'s Doctor. ''While this was what [[Philip Hinchcliffe]] intended to imply ([[REF]]: ''[[A History of the Universe]]''), much evidence throughout the rest of the franchise contradicts it. For instance, Time Lord dialogue in ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'' specifically establishes that the Doctor as portrayed by [[William Hartnell]] is "the earliest Doctor"; further evidence provided in ''[[Mawdryn Undead (TV story)|Mawdryn Undead]], [[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]], ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|the 1996 TV movie]]'', [[The Next Doctor (TV story)|The Next Doctor]]'', ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]'', ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'', and ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'' (among others) establishes that all of the Doctor's incarnations are accounted for in his televised adventures. Other stories, such as ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'' and ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'' imply that these incarnations belonged to [[the Other]] (or [[Patience's husband|some other ancient Time Lord]]) with a complicated connection to the Doctor. See [[The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)]] for more details.'' | * The [[mindbending]] contest at the end of part four proves conclusively that the Doctor regenerated multiple times prior to [[William Hartnell]]'s Doctor.
