In [[COMIC]]: ''[[A Cold Day in Hell! (comic story)|A Cold Day in Hell]]'', the Seventh Doctor is shown to be travelling with [[Frobisher]], a companion of the [[Sixth Doctor]], and Frobisher refers to [[Peri Brown]] as if she had recently left. The timeline given in the [[Doctor Who Magazine]] article ''[[Stripped for action?]]'' claims that the Seventh Doctor had picked up Peri and Frobisher to travel with him until Peri left to live with [[Yrcanos]].

=== Cartmel Masterplan ===
[[Season 25]] and [[Season 26|26]] had broad hints that the Doctor was not simply a Time Lord, as previously shown and stated. This overarching plot, conceived by [[Script Editor]] [[Andrew Cartmel]] and referred to by fans as the [[Cartmel Masterplan]], was designed to restore an element of mystery in the Doctor and his true nature as in the stories of the [[First Doctor|first]] and [[Second Doctor|second incarnations]]. Although the cancellation of the series at the end of Season 26 prevented further on-screen exploration of this arc, it was later given full rein in the [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel series.
 
=== Travels with Peri? ===
