** Then there's the infamous moment where the Fifth Doctor destroys his predecessor's [[Iconic item beloved scarf]] to mark his way around the TARDIS, that got Davison's tenure off to a rocky start with fans when he already had big shoes to fill. Thankfully this was addressed when Five outright admits later on he actually misses wearing the old scarf and regretted his decision to destroy it as he felt it would have fit his Cricket outfit quite well (his respective successors on the other hand however still hate the scarf, even though the Seventh Doctor wears a smaller scarf).

* FranchiseOriginalSin: The Master's disguising himself as the Portreeve heralded the beginning of a trend for the Master to adopt some kind of disguise for the first half of a story, after which the plot twist of his being the BigBad would be revealed to the audience. Here, the twist worked well for various reasons -- including Creator/AnthonyAinley doing a good job of making the Portreeve seem like a distinct character, the strong make-up and costuming, and Shardovan being used as a RedHerring -- but future stories would try to recreate this twist without these elements (most notably with [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E7TimeFlight Kalid]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E6TheKingsDemons Sir Gilles Estram]]) leading to the disguise serving no obvious purpose in-universe, and the actual revelation coming across as a CaptainObviousReveal.
