'''''Colony in Space''''' was the fourth and penultimate serial of [[season 8]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It was narratively significant for being the first off-[[Earth]] story recorded in colour. It was the first time any [[companion]] had travelled in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] with [[the Doctor]] since ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'' and therefore, [[Jo Grant]]'s first visit to another [[planet]]. It introduced the [[Interplanetary Mining Corporation]] (IMC), which reappeared in several stories in other media. The story also introduced a new model of the [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] unique to the Third Doctor. He had mentioned having one in ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)|Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'', but this was the model's first physical appearance within a serial. Its debut here preluded the more frequent, conventional use of the sonic screwdriver as the Doctor's preferred gadget.
