| The '''seventeenth season''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ran between [[1st September]] [[1979]] and [[12th January]] [[1980]]. It consisted of 5 stories and 20 episodes, plus the incomplete ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]'', unfinished as a result of an industrial strike. [[Lalla Ward]] joined as [[Romana II]], and the season is notable for the involvement of [[Douglas Adams]] in the writing department. This was the last season to use the traditional [[Delia Derbyshire]] "[[Doctor Who theme]]" arrangement.
