Season 24 of Doctor Who ran between 7th September 1987 and 7th December 1987. It introduced Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor.
Overview
The season consisted of four serials and 14 episodes of twenty-five minutes each. 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 go on to be a prominent figure in the spinoff fiction that kept the Doctor Who name alive following its cancellation in 1989.
