*A third film, based upon the televised serial ''[[The Chase]]'', was planned but never made. Additionally, [[Stanmark Producitons Limited]] obtained a license to make a series of 52 half-hour radio dramas based upon the character. Advertisements were published, but no episode was ever known to have been completed.<ref>[[David J Howe|Howe, David J.]], "The Lost Radio Plays". ''The Frame'' #10.

*Fans suggest this Doctor comes from a parallel universe to the [[Time Lord]] known as [[the Doctor]] as there is a small amount of evidence to that effect.{{fact}} | |||
*Like the [[First Doctor]] and [[Eleventh Doctor]], his TARDIS had a St John Ambulance logo, as well as being the same shade of blue. He also had parts of the Doctor's personalities; the fashion sense that of the [[Third Doctor]], the humility of the First Doctor and the curiosity of the [[Fifth Doctor]], as well being part of similar events. | |||
*Reference was made to this Doctor in the novel ''[[Salvation]]'', where reference was made to the film ''Pray for a Miracle'' released in 1970 based on the events that took place in the novel, where the Doctor's role in events was played by Peter Cushing as 'the bumbling scientific advisor, Dr. Who', critics noting that the little known about the 'true' Doctor suggests that his was a 'shadowy, manipulative presence'. | |||
*The character, Count Tarkin, that Dr. Who meets was likely a reference to the role of Grand Moff Tarkin that Cushing played in ''Star Wars''. | |||
