Season 6B

Main article: Season 6B

That in The Two Doctors the Second Doctor and Jamie are on an assignment for the Time Lords (whom they do not encounter until The War Games) and, less significantly, that they are so obviously aged from their earlier appearances, has led to fan speculation about a possible "Season 6B". Season 6B or Season 6 (b is a popular fan theory related to the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Season 6B or Season 6 (b is a popular fan theory related to the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor As we do not directly see Patrick Troughton regenerate into Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor, fans hypothesise that, prior to his third incarnation, the Time Lords recruited the Second Doctor as a covert operative.

Other appearances and "Death"

An elderly Jamie, who remembers his time with the Doctor (explaining that the Doctor had taught him tricks to ensure the Time Lords would not really wipe his memories), also appears in the comic strip story "The World Shapers" with the Sixth Doctor, published in Doctor Who Magazine #127–#129.

Frobisher is a Fictional character who appeared in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip based on the long-running British science fiction

Jamie's death was very much controversial due to his status as a major companion, let alone his death taking place outside the confines of the television series. In the Virgin New Adventures novel Timewyrm: Revelation, writer Paul Cornell omitted Jamie from the group of deceased companions that the Seventh Doctor encounter in the novel.

Trivia

Best selling author Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series, admits that her character Jamie Fraser was inspired by Doctor Who's Jamie, in her nonfiction work The Outlandish Companion:

"This character wore a kilt, which I thought rather fetching, and demonstrated--in this particular episode--a form of pigheaded male gallantry that I've always found endearing: the strong urge on the part of a man to protect a woman, even though he may realize that she's plainly capable of looking after herself. Doctor Who Magazine (abbreviated as DWM) is a Magazine devoted to the long-running British Science fiction television Diana Jean Gabaldon Watkins (b January 11, 1952 in Arizona) is an American Author of Mexican-American and English Outlander (published in the UK as Cross Stitch) is the first in a series of novels (currently six by Diana Gabaldon. "

In a footnote, Gabaldon states that the episode she was watching was The War Games. The War Games is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which originally aired in ten weekly
