The twenty-second season of Doctor Who ran between 5th January 1985 and 30th March 1985. It consisted 6 serials and 13 episodes. With this season the BBC experimented with the format of the series, reducing the number of episodes to 13, but making each episode 45 minutes long. The experiment did not result in improved ratings and at the end of the season the BBC announced it was cancelling the series; uproar from fans resulted in the BBC changing its mind and instead putting the series on an 18-month hiatus instead. This season is notable for featuring the final appearance of Patrick Troughton as the beloved Second Doctor, in a storyline that gave rise to a popular fan theory known as Season 6b.
