The season opened with *One Year Hence* and ended with Shaw's regeneration story, *Horizon of the Daleks*.

## Overview

This season consists of ten serials of twenty-two forty-five minute episodes. It was announced that Fiona Shaw and Cillian Murphy would be leaving *Doctor Who* after Season 41. Murphy was exploding in film and decided to finally leave the show to focus on his film career. Shaw felt similarly and felt four years was enough for her Doctor. As well as Steve Lanning and Lance Parkin having a specific plan for this version of the Doctor that Shaw and Murphy agreed to. For the other companion to only last a season, Parkin was furthering his unique ideas for the show and decided on an Ice Warrior. Stephen Fry wrote a script inspired by The Green Knight, and Parkin thought it was perfect to introduce an Ice Warrior companion, and had Fry do rewrites to fit this. During filming, Lanning decided to stay on a couple more years to introduce another Doctor, while working with ideas from Parkin. However, BBC ultimately decided to fire the both of them to have another fresh start for the program, unhappy with their tone and ideas for this Doctor. To further this fresh start, this would also be the last season to have a serialized stories as it became too expensive to do 45 minute long episodes in a serialized fashion, as well as wanting the show to become modernized. The stories featured this season are *One Year Hence*, involving Philip getting into a skirmish with an Ice Warrior in 1920s England. *The Bloodiest Battle* where the TARDIS team is stuck during The Battle of Gettysberg where the day repeats. *War of the Cybermen* where Cybermen have taken over future Earth, and the Doctor must help a band of rebels to stop them. *The Elder Paradise* where the Doctor considers to induce regeneration after the events of the last two stories. *Schrödinger's Folly*, where a celestial being wants to exist in every facet of time from the beginning to the end. *Her Final Fight* where someone decides to kill the TARDIS on a barren world. *Last of the Titans* where The Doctor explores a supposedly unmanned ship by herself. *A Situation Beyond Your Understanding* a lighter toned episode where the Doctor and company head to a planet accompanied by unseen laughter with everything they do, and the world's ending again! *Walking Distance* where The Doctor experiences signs of the end. Finally we have *Horizon of the Daleks* where a once in the universe event is about to happen, and the Daleks want to use it as a weapon. Can The Doctor finally confront her greatest demons?

The Doctor

**"The Doctor"**, a title embodying their promise to the universe, was the main alias used by a mysterious renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey, who travelled through time and space with various companions in an obsolete and "borrowed" Type 40 TARDIS. They were "the universe's greatest defender", having saved the cosmos thousands of times across a long life, becoming a legend throughout the universe.

Though largely a believer in non-violent conflict resolution, they were, when absolutely necessary, a great warrior. Indeed, some civilisations in the universe translated the word *doctor* as *warrior*, whilst others saw the Doctor as a compassionate benefactor, worthy of their admiration and compassion.

From the latter years of their first incarnation onward, the Doctor had a pronounced affinity for Earth and the human race. (TV: *The Ark in Space* and *New Earth*) After departing Gallifrey, they voluntarily chose to spend time on Earth, (TV: *An Unearthly Child*) choosing it as the place of their exile for most of their third incarnation, (TV: *The War Games*, *Spearhead from Space*) and even owning property in Kent, (TV: *Warchild* and *The Dying Days*) as well as London and New York City. The Doctor favoured Great Britain in particular, frequently returning, and finding many of their companions there. (TV: *An Unearthly Child*, *Spearhead from Space*, *The Time Monster*, *The Rampant Nobodies*, et al.) Later on, the Doctor thought of themselves as Earth's protector. Even before the disappearance of Gallifrey, the Doctor spent much more time on Earth than on their homeworld, as "home from home".

Despite the varying personality traits of each incarnation, the Doctor always retained "a bit of adrenaline, a dash of outrage and a hint of panic", which helped define who they were, (TV: *Beyond the Eleventh Hour*) and a questionable fashion sense according to many, (TV: *The Twin Dilemma*) along with the promise of sticking to everything that their name stood for: duty, compassion, and resourcefulness. (TV: *The Day of the Doctor*).

Trouble seemed to follow the Doctor, (TV: *Inferno*) by their own admission. (TV: *Marco Polo*) They spent much of their time bounding from one place to another, with "all of time and space" to explore, (TV: *Beyond the Eleventh Hour*) solving problems with whatever was at hand, making friends and enemies, and rarely looking back, always having an eye on their next destination.

Season 27

**14 episodes, consisting of 5 serials, starting with *Thin Ice***

**Season 27** of *Doctor Who* ran between 7 September 1990 and 7 December 1990. It starred Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Ace, and Susannah Harker as Raine Cunningham. The season opened with *Thin Ice* and ended with McCoy's regeneration story, *Alixion*.

## Overview

The season consisted of five stories and fourteen twenty-five-minute episodes. It was the final season for John Nathan-Turner as producer and Andrew Cartmel as script editor. Nathan-Turner felt that his time had run its course, as well as *Doctor Who* being close to cancellation that he felt that BBC would give it a chance if he left. Cartmel felt similarly. In this season, we have the return of the Ice Warriors in *Thin Ice,* as well as the (sort of) introduction of new companion, Raine Cunningham, who would not be fully introduced until the next serial, *Action at a Distance*. In said serial, a new villain, called the Metatraxi, would be introduced who would serve as the villain for the next two stories. In addition, Raine would be introduced as a cat burgler with a heart of gold who would help the Doctor and Ace stop the Metatraxi. In *Bad Destination*, The Doctor, Ace, and Raine are undercover on the Space Vessel Vancouver to notice strange goings on on the vessel, as well as something in the grain containers. In *A School For Glory*, The Doctor, Ace, and Raine are stuck in the trenches of World War I and separated from the TARDIS, while they are investigating an escaped alien hiding within the confines of the war. Then finally in *Alixion,* due to a strange being called the abbot and his quest for power, The Doctor regenerates into his eighth incarnation.

Originally, Ace was supposed to leave in the second serial, which was intended to be *Thin Ice.* But Aldred felt like she owed it to not only McCoy but the Seventh Doctor that she be there for his regeneration, when it was announced. Cartmel had to restructure the entire season because of this, and the original regeneration story (*Blood and Iron*) was replaced with *Alixion* and another story *A School for Glory* (which was intended for Season 28) be added to give the season a more "epic" feel.
