An oldie, but a goodie in two parts: - How different would things have turned out if another incarnation of the Doctor had been exiled to Earth (say, the Second or the Fourth)?
- Where/when else in the cosmos or on Earth could the Doctor have been exiled?

Honestly, I can barely even imagine the Fourth Doctor exiled on Earth for a significant amount of time, but if he were he'd hardly settle for staying in one place working for UNIT - he'd probably be in a new location every episode! I think the Eighth, Eleventh and Thirteenth Doctors would be similarly restless, but they'd probably lack a little bit of the bitterness some of the other Doctors might have for being confined to a single planet and they'd probably be swept up in having all sorts of adventures. The Seventh Doctor I could see sticking with UNIT, but I imagine the relationship between them would be a lot more tense as he spins his webs each episode. It'd be fascinating to see the Brigadier having a falling out with the Doctor similar to the Doctor's falling out with the Brigadier for the Silurian incident. I think there would have been a similar dynamic if the Second Doctor had been exiled on Earth and a lot more of his darker impulses would have come to the forefront at times.
The Fifth and Tenth Doctors would probably really adjust to exile really well all things considered. I could see there being more of a focus on domestic life with these Doctors.
I think the Sixth, Ninth, and Twelfth Doctors would probably adjust to Earth - and work with UNIT - very similarly to the Third Doctor - they'd be pretty sulky in the early days, but given a year or two and they'd have mellowed out. The Ninth Doctor may be a bit more confrontation for a while longer, though.
As for time periods on Earth, I just picture them in the time periods that would have been contemporary while they were on television. I had an interesting thought about a War Doctor short series where he's trapped in the middle of a war on Earth - maybe World War I or II? - and he makes the choice to do what he can to help while also keeping history on track. Maybe Churchill could have been a main part in the series if it was set in WWII or maybe Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart if it were WWI - it'd be sort of like the Churchill Years, but with only the War Doctor and, of course, he doesn't get to leave at the end of the episode. Just thinking about it makes me miss John Hurt more...
Anyways, that's sort of how I picture it going. It does bring up a few interesting questions though. Namely, if the Doctor had been caught by the Time Lords AFTER regenerating into his third incarnation, would the Third Doctor even be the same? Ultimately it probably wouldn't make much of a difference whether they were from a storytelling perspective, but it's food for thought.

Four exiled: Monty Python gains a member? Yes!!!😀 I wonder what sort of sketches Four would write for them?🤔😄 I feel like there would be a reraccuring joke where Four would randomly show up in sketches out of the blue to offer other characters Jelly Babies😄

If Ten got exiled early on,he and Rose would go backpacking across continents for a couple of years. He would also act as an earth’s ambassador to beings of other planets. With the help of Rose he would publish a memoir about all his travels and lives so far. He eventually proposes and marries Rose. They have twin half Galifreyian children (a boy named Ian and a girl named Barbara)who they have to frequently protect from threats across the galaxy. Ten and Rose cohost an enormously popular earth travel show that not only broadcasts on earth but intergalacticly. They also host fabulous fancy dress parties themed after various time periods and planets they have visited. The couple tries to raise their children as normal as possible, until Ten discovers that the time lords are in fact plotting to kidnap them to force them to go to timelord academy. Ten and Rose save them, Rose becoming Bad Wolf once again and Ten sacrifices himself and regenerates into Eleven in the process. After this the Doctor’s exile is lifted and he, Rose, and their twins travel in the Tardis together. They all get on well, after the twins, get over the fact that their father suddenly seems to be both much younger and older at the same time.

As a side note, during his success as travel show host Ten would most definitely be frequent guest contestant on QI 😄
