This planet would eventually be seen in [[TV]]: {{cs|The War Games (TV story)}}, and identified by name as [[Gallifrey]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}}. ''The War Games'' suggested the Doctor had left of his own free will due to being bored with his existence on his home planet, only becoming a wanted criminal by dint of having run away and stolen a TARDIS; many other stories, however, gave their own account of [[the Doctor and Susan's escape from Gallifrey]], such as [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Beginning (audio story)}} — depicting or hinting at more complicated motives better in keeping with the First Doctor's implication in this story that he and Susan are unwilling exiles. [[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}} would see the First Doctor vaguely state that he had "many pressing reasons" for leaving. | ||
* [[TV]]: {{cs|Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)}} saw the [[Seventh Doctor]] return, with [[Ace]], to the setting of the first episode of this story, [[Shoreditch]]; the story revealed some of the secret business the Doctor had been up to while Susan was at school, which involved seeing to it that the [[Hand of Omega]] was buried in Shoreditch Cemetery. The Doctor's ultimate agenda turned out to be luring the [[Dalek]]s to Earth to steal the Hand of Omega, which had been rigged to destroy [[Skaro]] when they tried to use it; however, this would imply that the First Doctor of ''An Unearthly Child'' already knew of the Daleks, and was merely faking his unfamiliarity with them in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Daleks (TV story)}}. Due to the perceived radicalism of this retcon, other stories would go on to depict the First Doctor's part of the scheme as more tentative, with him uncertain of the purpose to which his future self would eventually put the hand. | * [[TV]]: {{cs|Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)}} saw the [[Seventh Doctor]] return, with [[Ace]], to the setting of the first episode of this story, [[Shoreditch]]; the story revealed some of the secret business the Doctor had been up to while Susan was at school, which involved seeing to it that the [[Hand of Omega]] was buried in Shoreditch Cemetery.
