Overview
Departure
In December 1989 after Season 26 finished airing, producer John Nathan-Turner and script editor Andrew Cartmel announced their departures from the show in Season 27, with Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred also announcing their departures after the following season.
The new companion
Early on, ann outline was put in place for the new companion to replace Ace. The idea was that the new companion would go by the name of Katie Tollinger, a posh upper-class cat burglar. Julia Sawalha was cast for the role.
In late 1989, Cartmel commissioned the four stories; all of which were the stories to be featured in the season. They included the likes of: the Doctor and Ace in different manners, the return of the Ice Warriors, a masterplan from the Doctor and a regeneration story featuring UNIT.
Another new companion
A later addition to the season would be a story arc spanning throughout the season in all four stories; that being a character that has appeared in all stories (except the Doctor) but as different characters. The last story reveals that it is Henrick who was experimented onto the project across time and space. He joins the TARDIS team at the end of the season and into the next along with a new Doctor...
