Forum:Season 6B

A few pages on this wiki refer to a supposed season in beteween seasons 6 and 7, known as season 6B. Was this ever actually reffered to in canon. The article on The War Games contradicts itself, saying that it is a fan theory in 1 part of the article, but claiming that the episode leads into season 6B in another part. The article on the Second Doctor refers to season 6B, referencing the Deadly Assassin. The closest thing to a reference I can find to this in the Deadly Assassin, is the statement that the "sentence was subsequently remmitted at the intercession of the CIA," although it is more likely that this statement is simply reffering to The Three Doctors. Is there actually an episode that states that season 6B exists, or is it merely a fan theory?Icecreamdif 18:38, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Not really a fan theory but an idea proposed and expanded upon by Terrance Dicks as far as i understand it. The Multi Doctor stories with the second doctor all show him with the full knowledge of what happened to his incarnation with knowledge of what happened to his companions off screen. World Game is a story set in 6B and links the multi doctor stories into it. Revanvolatrelundar 18:50, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know about World Game, but the multi-doctor stories don't seem to support this. The Three Doctors implied that the Second Doctor was pulled out of time before The War Games, and the trial and exile weren't mentioned at all, except by the Third Doctor. In The Five Doctors, the Second Doctor did realize that Jamie, and Zoe weren't really their because they had their memories erased, but if you think about it, that doesn't make sense even if season 6B is real. Using the logic that the Doctor used to explain why Jamie and Zoe can't be there, he himself can't be there, because he has regerated. He was pulled out of time by a time-scoop from before he regenerated, and Jamie and Zoe could just as easily have been pulled out of time before they were returned to there own times. Since the Doctor's comment doesn't make since anyway, the statement can't really be used to justify anything. In the Two Doctors, the Doctor and Jamie talk about Timelords, even though Jamie hadn't been told about the Timelords until the War Games. However, Jamie wouldn't be able to appear in season 6B. In the War Games, we see that he was returned home, without his memory, immediately after the Doctor's trial, so the Two Doctors couldn't have taken place during season 6B.Icecreamdif 19:11, October 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Exile on Earth and Season 6B work to describe an in-universe and out of universe description of these events. --Tangerineduel 12:42, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Was there any part of Deadly Assassin that I missed that mentioned season 6B. If not then the citation on the 2nd doctor's page should be changed to a story that does describe it. If season 6B is real, than the War Games' page, and possibly some other pages, should be changed to reflect that.Icecreamdif 21:28, October 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * No story mentions 6B. But the two articles that I cited above show how things fit together. Nothing needs to be changed to state '6B'. Anywhere 6B is mentioned it's mentioned as a theory, it's just one of those theories that has some traction and has some sources backing it up. --Tangerineduel 13:42, October 12, 2010 (UTC)
