Season 18

From TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.

The eighteenth season of Doctor Who ran between 30th August 1980 and 21st March 1981. From Full Circle onwards, the season featured a story arc involving E-Space and the return of the Master. It was the last season to feature Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor; it also saw the departure of Romana and K-9. It was the first season produced by John Nathan-Turner, who instituted a number of changes: the stories became darker and more adult in tone, the 1966 Delia Derbyshire arrangement of the "Doctor Who theme" was retired in favour of a new arrangement, and a new series logo was introduced. It consisted of 7 stories and 28 episodes.
