Tonight's re-post from the archives relates to (perhaps) why DoctorBill 
and the following iterations of The Doctor *DIDN'T REMEMBER* previous 
incarnations.

Back in July 1991, there was a thread titled 'Colin Baker 
inconsistencies' which included this post ....

"Sorry to nip all sorts of speculation about why Colin Baker didn't 
remember "The Two Doctors" before it happened in the bud... but Robert 
Holmes came up with an explanation in the story. He mentioned that the 
drug given to the second Doctor (siralanimode?) causes memory loss."

If one of the Classic Who Writers/Directors, Robert Holme, had already, 
possibly, given US a reason why none of the T.V. Doctors had any 
recollections of Pre-Hartnel iterations of The Doctor until along came 
The Timeless Child .... Possibly the affects of a massive dose of 
'siralanimode (??)' taken prior to the start of DoctorBill!!

Possible?? Discuss.
