    The following article is written from an Out of Universe perspective.

    Season 27 of Doctor Who ran from 5 September 1990 and 5 December 1990. The season was the final season for both Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred, and introduced, not just, new companions, Katie Tollinger (Julia Sawalha) and Henrick (John Banks), but also, the Eighth Doctor, Richard Griffiths, in the final moments of its last episode.

    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.

    Stories

    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 as well as the introduction of Katie, 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...
