I know, but that was right after the regeneration, when he
might not have been too sane.
No other Doctor did it!
Personally I think it was a mis-step by JNT (the Producer) as
Peri was well liked and the Doctor trying to strangle her got
the Sixth Doctor's era off to a bad start. On top of the awful
coat attacking Peri put me off the Sixth Doctor anyway.
I can see what they were trying to do with this, but it didn't come across
well on screen, especially with the 25-minute format. In one of the
behind-the-scenes books I read that Saward and JNT planned a loose story
arc where something went wrong with the regeneration, possibly because of
what caused it, or possibly because of what eventually became the Valeyard
(they only had a vague idea of it at the time).
It wasn't that the Doctor almost strangled Peri that was so bad, it was
that they never followed up or addressed it on screen in any way.
