Are you sure this is from "Deadly Assassin" and not "Invasion of Time?"
Ah, well, guess my memory's going... anyway-

I believe it is really just Borusa giving the Doctor a dig-- he was,
as you know, one of the Doctor's instructors at the Academy.  After
seeing this episode and "Invasion of Time" I'm a bit sad there wasn't a
bit more
development put into "The Five Doctors" when the Doctor finds out
who is behind all of the goings on, since it is clear that the
Doctor respects Borusa a great deal, even if he doesn't really like
him personally very much.
