'''''The War Games''''' was the seventh and final serial of [[season 6]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It was the final story of the 1960s and the last produced in monochrome. It was notable for introducing the [[Time Lord]]s and for being the first time that the Doctor's [[Gallifrey|home planet]] was seen. It was also the first story in which [[Derrick Sherwin]] was credited as [[producer]]. Discounting ''[[Season 23|The Trial of a Time Lord]]'' as four narratively linked stories, it was the longest ''Doctor Who'' story to survive the [[Missing episodes|purging of the BBC's videotape archive]] and currently marks the earliest point in the series where first-time viewers may begin watching ''Doctor Who'' in chronological order without encountering any missing episodes. It was also the first story to have a large gap of time between it and the next one.
