''Spearhead from Space'' was the first ''Doctor Who'' story of the 1970s (although it was produced in [[1969]]), to be produced in colour, and has the distinction of being the only ''Doctor Who'' story (the [[Doctor Who (1996)|1996 TV movie]] notwithstanding) to be entirely shot on film (the 2005-present revival series is videotaped, with the tapes processed to simulate film). | ''Spearhead from Space'' was the first ''Doctor Who'' story of the 1970s (although it was produced in [[1969]]), to be produced in colour, and has the distinction of being the only ''Doctor Who'' story (the [[Doctor Who (1996)|1996 TV movie]] notwithstanding) to be entirely shot on film (the 2005-present revival series is videotaped, with the tapes processed to simulate film). | ||
