'''Series 3''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ran between [[25 December (releases)|25 December]] [[2006 (releases)|2006]] and [[8 July (releases)|8 July]] [[2007 (releases)|2007]]. It starred [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]], [[Freema Agyeman]] as [[Martha Jones]] and [[John Barrowman]] as [[Jack Harkness]]. The regular series was preceded by ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', opened with ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'' and concluded with ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]''.

A special screening of the series-opening episode was shown on [[25 October (releases)|25 October]] [[2019 (releases)|2019]] as part of a [[Doctor Who theme night|''Doctor Who'' theme night]] at [[Natural History Museum]] in [[Kensington]] as part of their after-hours series ''[[Lates]]''.<ref>https://www.nhm.ac.uk/events/lates.html</ref>

It consisted of fourteen stories and twenty-nine episodes. Predominated by a [[story arc]] that dealt with the mystery of [[Harold Saxon]], a British politician who turned out to be {{simm}}, the series also involved the return of [[Jack Harkness]]. Because Jack's involvement in the series was narratively important to ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'', the series had a demonstrable impact on [[series 1 (Torchwood)|series 1]] and [[series 2 (Torchwood)|series 2]] of that sister programme.

Since the series 3 commission also included the 2006 [[Christmas Special]], the series could also be said to have started the [[BBC Wales]] irregular tradition of having a "one-off" companion. The success of [[Catherine Tate]]'s [[Donna Noble]] would not only cause the production team to successfully court her to return as a regular [[companion]] [[series 4 (Doctor Who)|for the next series]], it also showed the audience could accept, and apparently enjoy, a single-episode companion. Consequently, series 3 paved the way for the inclusion of any number of famous and busy guest stars to be companions in single episodes thereafter.

Series 3 introduced a slightly tweaked logo, first shown in ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', which remained in place throughout the remainder of [[David Tennant]]'s tenure as the Doctor. This brought the show's title sequence more in line with its merchandise and promotional material, as it's official logo had been this version since 2005. A revamped version of the [[Doctor Who theme|theme tune]] was also offered up by [[Murray Gold]].

A revamped version of the [[Doctor Who theme|theme tune]] was also offered up by [[Murray Gold]].
 
A new costume was added to the Doctor's wardrobe. From this series forward, he had a blue suit of the same basic design as his brown one. Though at first just a way to give him a [[Jon Pertwee|Pertwee]]-esque variation from story to story, it would actually become narratively important to telling the story of series 4's ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', where another version of the Tenth Doctor appeared.


Equally important to the future was the series two main story arcs. The storyline with {{simm}} was crucial to understanding the way in which the Tenth Doctor's [[regeneration]] in the later ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|End of Time]]'' occurred. Likewise, the reasons for Martha Jones' departure at the end of the story were reflected in each of her later appearances in both ''Doctor Who'' and ''Torchwood''.

Crucial to the development of the programme was the series' [[Doctor-lite]] episode, ''[[Blink (TV story)|Blink]]''. It introduced [[BBC Wales]] first new enemy that could be said to genuinely rival the [[Dalek]]s' enduring popularity: The [[Weeping Angel]]s. They would become one of the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s main rivals.

Series 3 was also important for including a direct adaptation of a story that had been originally written for another medium. Though the audios ''[[Jubilee (audio story)|Jubilee]]'' and ''[[Spare Parts (audio story)|Spare Parts]]'' had been the very loose bases for two previous stories, ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'' was the first, unmistakably direct adaptation of [[Human Nature (novel)|an existing story]] in franchise story. It would not be the only time when the production office directly adapted a pre-existing work.

It introduced [[BBC Wales]] first new enemy that could be said to genuinely rival the [[Dalek]]s' enduring popularity: the [[Weeping Angel]]s. Their popularity became so great that they would become one of the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s main villains, rather than the Daleks.


The series also inspired the first original animation in franchise history, a 45-minute episode stripped across each episode of ''[[Totally Doctor Who]]''<!---->'s second season. Though nominally a part of the ''TDW'' commission, ''[[The Infinite Quest (TV story)|The Infinite Quest]]'' nevertheless gave Martha and the Doctor a 14th televised adventure that could be followed each week alongside the live-action programme.

You may wish to consult Series 3 for other, similarly-named pages.

Series 3 of Doctor Who ran from 25 December 2006 to 8 July 2007. It starred David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones and John Barrowman as Jack Harkness. The regular series was preceded by The Runaway Bride [+]Loading...["The Runaway Bride (TV story)"], opened with Smith and Jones [+]Loading...["Smith and Jones (TV story)"] and concluded with Last of the Time Lords [+]Loading...["Last of the Time Lords (TV story)"].

A special screening of the series-opening episode was shown on 25 October 2019 as part of a Doctor Who theme night at Natural History Museum in Kensington as part of their after-hours series Lates.[1]

Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]

It consisted of ten stories and fourteen episodes. Predominated by a story arc that dealt with the mystery of Harold Saxon, a British politician who turned out to be the Saxon Master, the series also involved the return of Jack Harkness. Because Jack's involvement in the series was narratively important to Torchwood, the series had a demonstrable impact on series 1 and series 2 of that sister programme.

Since the series 3 commission also included the 2006 Christmas Special, the series could also be said to have started the BBC Wales irregular tradition of having a "one-off" companion. The success of Catherine Tate's Donna Noble would not only cause the production team to successfully court her to return as a regular companion for the next series, it also showed the audience could accept, and apparently enjoy, a single-episode companion. Consequently, series 3 paved the way for the inclusion of any number of famous and busy guest stars to be companions in single episodes thereafter.

A trailer for the series was released.

Highlights[[edit] | [edit source]]

Series 3 introduced a slightly tweaked logo, first shown in The Runaway Bride [+]Loading...["The Runaway Bride (TV story)"], which remained in place throughout the remainder of David Tennant's tenure as the Doctor. This brought the show's title sequence more in line with its merchandise and promotional material, as it's official logo had been this version since 2005. A revamped version of the theme tune was also offered up by Murray Gold.

A new costume was added to the Doctor's wardrobe. From this series forward, he had a blue suit of the same basic design as his brown one. Though at first just a way to give him a Pertwee-esque variation from story to story, it would actually become narratively important to telling the story of series 4's Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"], where another version of the Tenth Doctor appeared.

Equally important to the future was the series two main story arcs. The storyline with the Saxon Master was crucial to understanding the way in which the Tenth Doctor's regeneration in the later The End of Time [+]Loading...["The End of Time (TV story)"] occurred. Likewise, the reasons for Martha Jones' departure at the end of the story were reflected in each of her later appearances in both Doctor Who and Torchwood.

Crucial to the development of the programme was the series' Doctor-lite episode, Blink [+]Loading...["Blink (TV story)"]. It introduced BBC Wales first new enemy that could be said to genuinely rival the Daleks' enduring popularity: the Weeping Angels. Their popularity became so great that they would become one of the Eleventh Doctor's main villains, rather than the Daleks.

Series 3 was also important for including a direct adaptation of a story that had been originally written for another medium. Though the audios Jubilee and Spare Parts had been the very loose bases for two previous stories, Human Nature [+]Loading...["Human Nature (TV story)"] was the first, unmistakably direct adaptation of an existing story in franchise story. It would not be the only time when the production office directly adapted a pre-existing work.

The series also inspired the first original animation in franchise history, a 45-minute episode stripped across each episode of Totally Doctor Who's second season. Though nominally a part of the TDW commission, The Infinite Quest nevertheless gave Martha and the Doctor a 14th televised adventure that could be followed each week alongside the live-action programme.

This section's awfully stubby.

This section need to have images added.

All episodes of Series 3 were released in 2007 in both individual volumes and in box set form by 2|Entertain for Region 2 and by Warner Home Video for Region 1.

In 2014 the series was re-released on DVD in the US, split into two volumes labelled "Part One" and "Part Two" respectively, mimicking the home video release of Series 6 and 7. This release is missing much of the bonus content seen on the previous box set. Re-packaged versions of the complete series were also made available.
