- You may be looking for the season of Doctor Who that exists within the DWU.
Season 24 of Doctor Who ran from 7 September 1987 to 7 December 1987. It starred Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Bonnie Langford as Melanie Bush and introduced Sophie Aldred as Ace. The season opened with Time and the Rani and concluded with Dragonfire.
Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]
The season consisted of four serials comprised of fourteen episodes. Unlike season 23, there was no overall story arc, and the episode allotment - two four-episode stories, two three-episode stories - would be retained for the remainder of the original series. Notably, the season featured the introduction of new companion Ace, who would be a prominent figure in the spinoff fiction that kept the Doctor Who name alive following its cancellation in 1989 and was the final official onscreen companion until Rose Tyler in the revived series.
Unlike the previous regenerations of the Doctor, the Sixth Doctor's happened at the beginning of the season's episode. Colin Baker, who played the Sixth Doctor, would not come back to shoot a few episodes leading up to the regeneration as he felt insulted at being replaced after a short time as the Doctor and was displeased to make fans think he was still the Doctor for another year when he was only offered one story before his dismissal. His Doctor's life was instead wrapped up through an audio series entitled The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure in 2015. As such, Sylvester McCoy briefly portrayed the Sixth Doctor when regenerating into the Seventh Doctor, the first actor to play two incarnations of the Doctor.
This was the last season of the original series where someone either left or joined the main cast.
This was the first season since Season 17 to not feature the Master.
