Though seemingly inconsistent with later depictions of the Doctor as a more private individual uninterested in making money, it can be viewed as a partial explanation of why the Time Lords' sentence of the Second Doctor in The War Games includes forced regeneration. In that televised story, the Doctor objects to being exiled on Earth by saying, "Besides, I'm known on the Earth. It might be very awkward for me." However, as seen on television, the Doctor really only seems to know a handful of people on 20th century Earth — and most of them work for UNIT. (TV: The Web of Fear, The Invasion) Usefully, Martha the Mechanical Housemaid — and other TVC stories like Action in Exile — advance the notion that he is an actual celebrity on Earth, which makes better sense out of Troughton's War Games l
