User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-9435571-20151118033620/@comment-24894325-20151127111338 I'm not sure this should change the proposed handling of things. And this is still not entirely outside the realm of speculations.

But in the CD Extras on TBH, it is mentioned that the original idea was to refer to the meeting with the Sixth Doctor explicitly and even to explain Jamie's lack of surprise at the site of Pavo's regeneration by the fact that he's met another incarnation of the Doctor. However, this idea was vetoed by John Dorney. So the connection to TTD is not entirely speculative, but is not entirely factual either as the production team avoided providing definitive clues on purpose. TBH seems to have been written with the following premise in mind: TBH is supposed to be a story written in 1960s that mentions some names and events (Dastari, Sontarans) in passing without giving details. Later on, the production team of TTD is supposed to have remembered this loose thread and fill it in with a full story. Unfortunately, this still does not exclude the possibility of two Second Doctors.

Would it make sense to transcribe everything mentioned in TBH about this behind-the-scenes trip to get a full picture? There are more things mentioned than just the names and they are mentioned in more than one place.
