[edit] Overview
The season consisted of four stories and 14 25 minute episodes. It was the final season of the so-called "classic" series; the BBC announced in 1990 that it would not be producing a 27th season. A one-off Children in Need special, Dimensions in Time, appeared in 1993, after which a television film co-produced by an American network, followed in 1996. The series finally returned in 2005, however the BBC chose to restart the season numbering with Series 1. Season 26 featured the return of Nicholas Courtney as The Brigadier and the last televised appearance of Anthony Ainley as the Master. Unusually for a Doctor Who season, aside from some scenes in Survival, all the stories took place on Earth. Apart from Battlefield, the stories followed a loose character arc, as Ace came to turn with her past.
