|ext=|'''''The War Game''''' was a [[1969 (releases)|1969]] [[serial]] which changed ''[[Doctor Who]]'' was momentous for several reasons. It was the first story which named the Doctor's people as "[[Time Lord]]s", and the first to ever depict his [[Gallifrey|home planet]]. It was also the first to show that the Doctor was genuinely a [[renegade Time Lord|renegade]], liable to the criminal courts on his home world. But it was also full of "lasts". It was the final serial in black and white, and the swan song for the [[Second Doctor]], [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Zoe Heriot]]. In fact, it was the only story prior to [[The End of Time (TV story)|David Tennant's finalé]] which involved the departure of the entire cast of regulars. It was the last serial for several years in which [[the TARDIS]] was fully functional and under the Doctor's control, as one of the consequences of the story was that the Doctor be [[exile on Earth|exiled on Earth]] thereafter.}} | |||

Its basic conceit — that of miniaturising [[the Doctor]] and his [[companion]]s — was to have been the very first story in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' history, but the technical challenge was too great for that earliest of production crews. It was therefore rejected by [[producer]] [[Verity Lambert]], but [[script editor]] [[David Whitaker]] continued to push the topic. By its third writer, the "miniaturisation idea" had become intertwined with an important, pro-evironment message. The script that emerged was based on the non-fiction book, ''Silent Spring'', and therefore contained an obvious warning against the environmental dangers of pesticide.}} | | 6 = {{feature|title=Planet of Giants (TV story)|image=Exclusive First Look - Making Planet of Giants - Doctor Who - BBC|ext=|lead='''''Planet of Giants''''' was a [[First Doctor]] [[serial]] which had a long and interesting gestation.
