'''''The War Games''''' was the seventh and final serial of [[Season 6 (Doctor Who 1963)|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. | '''''The War Games''''' was the seventh and final serial of [[Season 6 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 6]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

The final episode saw the departure of [[Patrick Troughton]] as the [[Second Doctor]] and [[Frazer Hines]] and [[Wendy Padbury]] as [[companion]]s [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Zoe Heriot]]. It was the first time in the history of ''Doctor Who'' that either a companion or an incarnation of [[the Doctor]] made their last regular appearance in the concluding episode of a season. It was also the first time that an incarnation of the Doctor and all his companions were written out of the program in the same story. | The final episode saw the departure of [[Patrick Troughton]] as the [[Second Doctor]] and [[Frazer Hines]] and [[Wendy Padbury]] as [[companion]]s [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Zoe Heriot]].
