*The fan serial ''[[Devious (home video)|Devious]]'', part of which was featured on the DVD release of ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'', featured [[Tony Garner]] as "Second-and-a-Half Doctor", an amalgam of the Second and Third Doctors created when the regeneration of the former into the latter was stopped halfway. This Second-and-a-Half Doctor came face to face with the Third Doctor, with [[Jon Pertwee]] reprising his role, before completing his transformation into him, leading directly to ''Spearhead from Space'' using footage from that story. The commentary of ''Devious'' acknowledged that Pertwee appeared visibly older than he did in ''Spearhead from Space'' whilst deriving an explanation from the television story ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'', a comparison being drawn between the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s [[regeneration cycle|replacing]] his [[Tenth Doctor's hand|lost hand]] and the Third Doctor growing "younger."

*The Second Doctor's regeneration is the only one in the entire show's history not to be shown on screen unlike other incarnations shown regenerating into new bodies, with only the beginning of what appears to be the Second Doctor's forced regeneration being shown at the end of ''The War Games''. Because of the ambiguity of that story's ending, comics still featuring the Second Doctor as the main incarnation would continue with stories set '''''after''''' the Doctor's imposed exile on Earth and forced regeneration, revealing he had managed to avoid the forced change of appearance until ''The Nightwalkers'', the last regular story featuring the Second Doctor as the lead, would show the forced regeneration being implemented and leading directly into ''Spearhead from Space'', uniquely making that story the only time the Doctor has regenerated outside of the TV series.
