Beginning with this series and continuing through the Pertwee era, the BBC changed the show's scheduling with new, shorter series from this point beginning in either January or very late December, rather than [[Autumn]] as had been the previous format; the series would return to an Autumn series start in the [[Tom Baker]] era. The new scheduling reflected the change from around forty to forty-five episodes a series to more or less twenty-six per series, though the length of the episodes remained the same. | Beginning with this series and continuing through the Pertwee era, the BBC changed the show's scheduling with new, shorter series from this point beginning in either January or very late December, rather than [[Autumn]] as had been the previous format; the series would return to an Autumn series start in the [[Tom Baker]] era.

Production-wise, this season was a rather prominent transitionary period for the show, accentuated by a year-long hiatus following the conclusion of ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]''. With the 1960's coming to a close, this season saw the last two stories to be filmed during the decade: ''Spearhead from Space'' and ''Doctor Who and the Silurians'', both of which were filmed in late 1969. Additionally, as mentioned before, the series made the leap from monochrome to full-colour, crossing paths with the arrival of Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor. | Production-wise, this season was a rather prominent transitionary period for the show, accentuated by a year-long hiatus following the conclusion of ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]''.

Additionally, as mentioned before, the series made the leap from monochrome to full-colour, crossing paths with the arrival of Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor. Having done away with the entire main cast at the end of the previous season, Season 7 also built up a new team for the Doctor, consisting of [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] & [[Sergeant Benton]] (both of whom had already been introduced in ''[[The Web of Fear (TV story)|The Web of Fear]]'' and ''[[The Invasion (TV story)|The Invasion]]'' respectively) and [[Liz Shaw|Dr. Elizabeth Shaw]]. This also saw the only time in the classic series where there was no defined producer for a time, with Barry Letts only taking up the role midway through production of ''Doctor Who and the Silurians''. With the show amassing a considerably larger budget this season, Letts gave the show many technological achievements that came with its new colour presentation, most notably [[CSO|Colour-Separation Overlay]], and stories began to feature a greater amount of on-location filming and action sequences than before. Overall, the seventh season marked the departure of several staples of the 1960s seasons, while introducing many more elements that would become prevalent for the rest of ''Doctor Who''<nowiki/>'s run. | ||
