[edit] Overview

It consisted of the 5 serials, and 26 episodes. It was Jon Pertwee's final season as the Doctor and included, very briefly, the first appearance of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor. The Time Warrior, the season opener, introduced Sarah Jane Smith, who would become arguably the most popular of all the Doctor's companions and a frequently featured character in the Doctor Who Universe. The same story also, for the firs time, named the Doctor's homeworld as Gallifrey. UNIT had also entirely gotten phased out of the series by this time and no other Doctor Who season would feature it so prominently. Roger Delgado, who had played the first on-screen incarnation of the Master, had died, and so the production team did not give the character the dramatic send-off that they had planned in the season finale. The Diamond shaped Doctor Who logo and tunnel effects with Jon Pertwee were introduced, paving the way for the Tom Baker era.

Season 11 was the latest season to be subject to the BBC's then-current policy of junking old episodes. For reasons unknown, only the first episodes of Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Death to the Daleks were erased; copies of both episodes were later reacquired.
