}}'''''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]].
