At least in the novelization for "Remembrance of the Daleks," there was a reference to some "other" (I think that was the right term) who helped Rassilon and Omega to get time travel off the ground. It was obvious to me that the "other" was the Doctor, but of course, this didn't make it to the series, and I have no idea as to whether any of this thread was even scripted (They'd have had to FILM the scene where Omega blows up, I think.). The only teaser is where the Doctor says "we" when referring to Omega and Rassilon and the experiments they performed.

It has been mentioned in a few of the New Adventures novels as well. One I particularly noticed was in No Future, in which the Meddling Monk is trying to summon a creature called a Chronovore, and as part of the incantation he says "I call you in the name of Rassilon the Ravager, Omega the Fallen, and the Other whose name is forever lost." AS> However he has developed his natural abilities more than most other Time AS> Lords have. SQ> How so? At least that's the way I see it. It's possible that all Time Lords have these abilities naturally, but the Doctor isn't as hesitant about using them to help people. SQ> Which Doctor is the subject of this story? No Future is part of a story arc in which the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Bernice Summerfield are trying to solve an intricate mystery. Someone is manipulating them for his/her own reasons, and they eventually find out that it's the Meddling Monk. He very nearly succeeds in turning Ace against the Doctor, among other nasty surprises.

That's because JonDoc's body probably had been damaged so badly by the crystals on Metabelis III that he needed to have that extra push. It also took PaulDoc longer than normal because of the anesthetic that was still in his system. SQ> all had it comparatively easy, and while it looked like Colin Baker SQ> was having a hard time, I think that's just the way he was (although, SQ> obviously, strangling his assistant isn't part of his personality. It has been established that after a regeneration takes place, the Doctor needs time to acclimatize to his new form and regain his memory. Contact with the TARDIS facilitates this. I will say that ColDoc's unstable personality can be attributed to the fact that he had been poisoned and had much more difficulty regenerating than he normally would. AS> True but that isn't to say that Gallifreyans aren't capable of AS> regenerating into dissimilar forms. SQ> Like...? :) Like a female body, perhaps? The trouble is, there has been no precedent so we don't know. When Romana regenerated, all the forms she tried were female, but that could have been her personal preference.
