}}'''''Spearhead From Space''''' was the first story of [[Season 7]] of ''Doctor Who'', and was the first story to feature [[Jon Pertwee]] as the [[Third Doctor]]. The story also introduced a new companion, [[Liz Shaw]] ([[Caroline John]]), and launched a multi-year story arc that saw the Doctor exiled on Earth and working for [[UNIT]] as its [[scientific advisor]]. [[Nicholas Courtney]], as [[The Brigadier]], becomes a regular -- the first time the series had introduced a character who was not (immediately, at least) considered a companion (although he would come to be considered thus in the future). | }}'''''Spearhead From Space''''' was the first story of [[Season 7]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', and was the first story to feature [[Jon Pertwee]] as the [[Third Doctor]].

''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). | ||
