I thought it was quite obvious that it was the Black Guardian who
appeared when the Doctor finally assembled the Key to Time; I admit that
I have only seen that episode once.  During the early Turlough episodes
I got the impression that the BG was trying to get revenge against the
Doctor for depriving him of it.

Perhaps they met between episodes?  Actually, I didn't really get the
impression that the Doctor knew the WG intimately, just by reputation.
Of course, the WG knows all about the Doctor.
