The Caves of Androzani was the final televised story to feature Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, who had decided to end his tenure on Doctor Who at a three-year milestone after taking advice from former lead Patrick Troughton. As such, it depicted the regeneration of the Fifth Doctor into the Sixth Doctor, played by incoming actor Colin Baker. The story is often cited with high regard for its dramatic elements, unusually action-heavy plot, and the dynamic style of its scenes, which were directed by Graeme Harper in his first credited instance as episode director, which broke free from the less engaged atmosphere of other classic stories. The Caves of Androzani is famous for topping a Doctor Who Magazine poll in 2009 that asked readers to vote for, the single best televised story at the time. Dubiously enough, the story that came directly after this one, TV: The Twin Dilemma, crashed to the bottom of the list as the lowest-regarded of all stories ever televised at the time.
Think Doctor Who is just for boys? Don't you believe it. Not only was the show's very first producer a woman, but it would never have come back without the fierce advocacy of Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner. Considering her importance to Doctor Who it's somewhat ironic that Tranter's only on-screen credits are for Torchwood: Miracle Day. But Gardner, her "partner in crime", is tied only with Russell T Davies as the most prolific producer in Doctor Who history.
The careers of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors are significantly longer in audio than on television. Check out their latest works at category:2024 audio stories.
