Season 11 was the latest season to be subject to the BBC's then-current policy of junking old episodes. For reasons unknown, only the first episodes of ''Invasion of the Dinosaurs'' and ''Death to the Daleks'' were erased; copies of both episodes were later reacquired. | Season 11 was the latest season to be subject to the BBC's then-current policy of junking old episodes.

Interestingly, each episode, except the season's opening episode, contain returning characters or species from previous episodes, namely [[Daleks]], [[Mike Yates]], [[The Brigadier]], & [[The Ice Warriors]], amongst others. | |||
This season also had an incredibly good write-up. The five writers for this season — Robert Holmes, Malcolm Hulke, Terry Nation, Brian Hayles and Robert Sloman — won an award from the Writer's Guild of Great Britain for Best Children's Drama Script. This was the last season of [[Terrance Dicks]]' run as [[script editor]]. | This season also had an incredibly good write-up.
