The BBC announces that popular radio comedian Jon Pertwee will become Doctor Who‘s new star. With his penchant for character voices and other gags, the show’s producers – who will also be departing after the new Doctor’s installation – expect that Pertwee, and the series, will continue in a light-hearted vein with an increasingly comedic element. Though Pertwee’s first four-part story as the Doctor will reflect this thinking, the actor will actually take the role of the Doctor in a far more dramatic direction.
The 253rd episode of Doctor Who airs on the BBC. Jane Sherwin, David Savile and Philip Madoc guest star. The Time Lords make their earliest appearance in this story. This is Patrick Troughton’s final episode as the incumbent Doctor, the final Doctor Who episode of the 1960s, and the final episode made in black & white.
