Doctor Who returned to screens for its seventh season back in 1970 with a brand new Time Lord in tow in the form of cabaret performer turned Earth defender Jon Pertwee. His debut adventure, Spearhead from Space, is also significant for being the first Doctor Who serial to be filmed and broadcast in colour. Which made the sight of Autons massacring innocent civilians even more terrifying. Amen to that!
