Indeed, I suspect they had a lot planned for McCoy that they didn't have time to implement in the series.
In fact, I was listening to the Script Editor who was in charge when McCoy as Doctor, and he said he liked the Mysterious aspect of Dr. Who, and planned to (in the series after it was axed) go back to the roots, and give strong hints that the good Dr. was a lot more than a mere timelord, without actually being specific as to why he was so special.
There are rumours that he planned a lot of things for that series that RTD then went on to explore in the New series.

All they really took from the two stories was the Dalek story lines, he wasn't from Gallifrey and was just an old guy that created a time machine.

It's worth remembering that not only was Cushing's Dr who actually human (I believe there is a reference to that in the script), but that his last name is actually "Who".
