The season opened with ''[[Galaxy 4 (TV story)|Galaxy 4]]'' and concluded with ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]''. | ||
== Overview == | == Overview == | ||
The season consisted of ten serials comprised of forty-five episodes. At twelve episodes, ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' was the longest story in the show's history until superseded by the fourteen-episode ''[[Season 23 (Doctor Who 1963)|The Trial of a Time Lord]]'' in 1986 (although some consider that tale to be four separate serials broadcast under a single title, and said stories were produced as though they were separate serials). | |||
The single-episode story ''[[Mission to the Unknown (TV story)|Mission to the Unknown]]'' remains the shortest ''Doctor Who'' story ever televised (not counting the several mini-episodes produced since [[2005 (production)|2005]]) and the only TV story in which neither the Doctor nor any companions appear. | |||
Behind the scenes, it was dominated by the departure of [[Verity Lambert]], the immensely exhausting production of ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' | The season also had the greatest number of different companions (seven) and producers (three). This was the longest season in the history of the franchise to date, at 45 episodes. | ||
It also featured the first appearance of actor [[Nicholas Courtney]], who would go on to play [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. ''The Daleks' Master Plan'' also saw the return of [[Peter Butterworth]] as [[the Monk]], who became the second ''Doctor Who'' enemy to make a return to the show after the Daleks. | |||
This was also the season of ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'', to date the only televised story in which the taboo of never referring to the Doctor directly by the name "Doctor Who" is broken, with the exception of [[Missy]]'s teasing in ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]''. | |||
Behind the scenes, it was dominated by the departure of [[Verity Lambert]], the immensely exhausting production of ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' and preparations for [[William Hartnell]]'s departure – including intense discussion over how to handle such an unprecedented change in a lead actor on a show still at the height of popularity. It consisted of ten serials (listed below) and forty-five episodes, the majority of which are considered lost, though three serials, ''[[The Ark (TV story)|The Ark]]'', ''[[The Gunfighters (TV story)|The Gunfighters]]'' and ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'', exist in complete form. It is therefore the most incomplete season of the William Hartnell-era. | |||

Season 3 of Doctor Who ran from 11 September 1965 to 16 July 1966. It starred William Hartnell as the First Doctor, Maureen O'Brien as Vicki Pallister, Peter Purves as Steven Taylor, Adrienne Hill as Katarina and Jackie Lane as Dodo Chaplet. The season opened with Galaxy 4 and concluded with The War Machines.
Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]
The season consisted of ten serials comprised of forty-five episodes. At twelve episodes, The Daleks' Master Plan was the longest story in the show's history until superseded by the fourteen-episode The Trial of a Time Lord in 1986 (although some consider that tale to be four separate serials broadcast under a single title, and said stories were produced as though they were separate serials).
The single-episode story Mission to the Unknown remains the shortest Doctor Who story ever televised (not counting the several mini-episodes produced since 2005) and the only TV story in which neither the Doctor nor any companions appear.
The season also had the greatest number of different companions (seven) and producers (three). This was the longest season in the history of the franchise to date, at 45 episodes.
It also featured the first appearance of actor Nicholas Courtney, who would go on to play Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. The Daleks' Master Plan also saw the return of Peter Butterworth as the Monk, who became the second Doctor Who enemy to make a return to the show after the Daleks.
This was also the season of The War Machines, to date the only televised story in which the taboo of never referring to the Doctor directly by the name "Doctor Who" is broken, with the exception of Missy's teasing in World Enough and Time.
Behind the scenes, it was dominated by the departure of Verity Lambert, the immensely exhausting production of The Daleks' Master Plan and preparations for William Hartnell's departure – including intense discussion over how to handle such an unprecedented change in a lead actor on a show still at the height of popularity. It consisted of ten serials (listed below) and forty-five episodes, the majority of which are considered lost, though three serials, The Ark, The Gunfighters and The War Machines, exist in complete form. It is therefore the most incomplete season of the William Hartnell-era.
