The War Games ” is the first time we’ve seen a forced regeneration in Doctor Who.

The second Doctor’s regeneration at the climax of War Games ’ is unique in several ways.

The Doctor is exiled to Earth without use of the TARDIS and forced to be regenerated into a new identity as part of that exile.

This is the only time we've ever not actually seen the Doctor's regeneration on screen.

Forced regeneration became a major worldbuilding aspect of the “War in Heaven’s ” worldbuilding.

The Doctor is seen as the template for the transformation of the Shobogans into the Time Lords .

We see something much more akin to that process during Jodie Whittaker's tenure as the Thirteenth Doctor.
