Seems like a good one, definitely the first thing to come to mind for me was the appearances of Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines in The Two Doctors in Doctor Who - although the Season 6B fantheory is commonly accepted as a way to handwave that, it's still a fantheory, and main canon never explains why or how the Second Doctor and his most devoted companion appear in the Sixth Doctor's TARDIS visible aged to the point of grey hair (and with different outfits, to boot), years after their last appearance together. Same goes for Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor in Time Crash, when he appears considerably older than he ever did prior to his own regeneration, and has a quick conversation with his Tenth regeneration.

And given the theories about the Second Doctor and Jamie being given more time to have potentially aged like that a la the 6B theory, Time Crash actually exemplifies this trope more than that does even.

Forgive me not knowing how to format or link things correctly here, I'm incredibly new to the world of actually contributing as a Troper rather than just avidly reading the site.
