rdfs:comment
  • The story was the first to use the term regeneration to describe the biological process that caused Time Lords to change in physical appearance and introduced one of the Doctor's mentors, K'anpo Rimpoche, as a means to further explain the mechanic and cement it into the Doctor Who mythos. Counting K'anpo's regeneration along with the Third Doctor's, this is the only one of the Doctor's regeneration stories to feature a case of double regenerations, and the only televised story where more than one Time Lord regenerates.
