'''''Spearhead From Space''''' | '''''Spearhead From Space''''' was the first story of [[Season 7]] of ''Doctor Who'', and was the first story to feature [[Jon Pertwee]] as the [[Third Doctor]]. The story also introduced new companion [[Liz Shaw]] ([[Caroline John]]), and launched a multi-year story arc that saw the Doctor exiled on Earth and working for [[UNIT]] as its [[scientific advisor]]. [[Nicholas Courtney]], as [[The Brigadier]], becomes a regular -- the first time the series had introduced a character who was not (immediately, at least) considered a companion (although he would come to be considered thus in the future). | ||
''Spearhead from Space'' was the first ''Doctor Who'' story of the 1970s (although it was produced in [[1969]]), was the first ''Doctor Who'' story to be produced in colour, and was the only story of the 1963-89 original series to be completely shot on film. | |||
