 In "The Five Doctors", Troughton and the Brig meet up with apparitions 
 of Jaimie and Zoe, warning them to turn back.  The Doctor realizes that 
 they must be illusions because after he was tried by the Time Lords and 
 sentenced to Earth, the Time Lords wiped Jaimie and Zoe's memories of 
 their time with him, so they wouldn't recognize him. 
  
 Now, given that that was the END of Troughton's tenure, Troughton's 
 appearance in The Five Doctors must have been from some time prior to 
 his trial in The War Games.  So how can he remember it? 
  
 There's a bit of fanwank that suggests there was a "Season 6b", where 
 the Doctor did work on behalf of the Time Lords before arriving on earth 
 as PertweeDoc.  This makes absolutely no sense from a dramatic point of 
 view, but it does help explain the inconsistency introduced in The Five 
 Doctors.
