The concept of the Jon Pertwee colour era seeing our hero confined to Earth in exile by the Time Lords may not have been considered a wise idea by the series then script editor Terrance Dicks, but the seventh season of 1970 was nonetheless consistently excellent and produced a fine set of long but well-crafted and very serious tales, featuring lots of memorable threats to our planet, including the reptilian Silurians and those eerie Ambassadors of Death...
A truly very 1970 visual composition above, but a wonderfully nostalgic one, from the Radio Times, celebrating the ongoing season in its pages. Though it's indeed a genuine shame that Pertwee never got to face the emotionless Cybermen on TV properly within his own distinctive era.
