Like [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|the 2011 series]], it was comprised of two distinct "halves", separated by a chunk of time when the programme wasn't transmitting new episodes. Though not quite as long as the 2011 gap, the show stopped broadcasting in mid-[[November]] and didn't return until New Year's Day. Contemporaneous marketing suggested that ''[[The Face of Evil (TV story)|The Face of Evil]]'' — the [[serial]] which began on [[1 January (releases)|1 January]] 1977 — was actually the start of a new series of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. ([[INFO]]: ''[[The Face of Evil (TV story)|The Face of Evil]]'') This fact, however, is ill-remembered and no reference work published since the event has ever seriously suggested that ''Face'' was the [[Season 15 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 15]] opener. | |||

- You may be looking for the season of Doctor Who as it exists within the DWU.
Season 14 of Doctor Who ran from 4 September 1976 to 2 April 1977. It starred Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah-Jane Smith and Louise Jameson as Leela. The season opened with The Masque of Mandragora and concluded with The Talons of Weng-Chiang.
On 20 April 2020, the season was released on a Blu-ray Box Set.[1]
Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]
It consisted of six serials comprised of twenty-six episodes. The season is notable for the departure of Sarah Jane Smith in The Hand of Fear and for The Deadly Assassin, a story set entirely on Gallifrey which expounded greatly upon the culture and history of the Time Lords, and the Eye of Harmony and Rassilon are mentioned for the first time. The Deadly Assassin also featured the return of the Decayed Master in a degenerated form and had the Doctor without a companion for an entire story for the first time in the history of Doctor Who. This story is also the first time the limit of regenerations is set.
The season also introduced new companion Leela. The overall gothic ambience of the season was supported by the introduction of the TARDIS' secondary console room, which would be used in lieu of the traditional console room into the next season. A new TARDIS police box prop was also created for this season by Barry Newbery, as the original prop was now too decayed to continue using on the show. This new prop would be used for the next few seasons.
Like the 2011 series, it was comprised of two distinct "halves", separated by a chunk of time when the programme wasn't transmitting new episodes. Though not quite as long as the 2011 gap, the show stopped broadcasting in mid-November and didn't return until New Year's Day. Contemporaneous marketing suggested that The Face of Evil — the serial which began on 1 January 1977 — was actually the start of a new series of Doctor Who. (INFO: The Face of Evil) This fact, however, is ill-remembered and no reference work published since the event has ever seriously suggested that Face was the season 15 opener.
