Unknown dates

 * The Doctor visited Professor Chronotis at St. Cedd's College, Cambridge. Accounts existed for both the Doctor's fourth and eighth incarnations having this encounter. (DW: Shada; WC: Shada) There was also an account suggesting that a botched attempt to abduct the Doctor's fourth incarnation (and his companion, Romana though there are conflicting reports) was made just before the Doctor's visit; as a result, the Doctor and possibly Romana were briefly trapped in a state of limbo before being returned to their proper places in time. (DW: The Five Doctors, both original and Special Edition versions)
