Season 24

Season 24 of Doctor Who aired between September 1987 and December 1987. It stars Colin Baker as... wait, what? So the Sixth Doctor is just dead? Okay then. I guess this season stars Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Bonnie Langford as Mel and Sophie Aldred as Ace.

Overview
So, to address the elephant in the room, Doctor Who was put on hiatus again, and one of the conditions of it being brought back was that Colin Baker had to be fired. This was not at all fair, as the issues with the show at the time were totally the fault of John Nathan-Turner and Eric Saward, not Colin, but he took the fall. Shame. Either way, we got the incredible Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, but unfortunately in this season he is acting in stories that were clearly written for Six, so his Doctor doesn't get the chance to fully form until the next season. However, like every season of Doctor Who, fans have somehow found things to like about Season 24, and for all its campiness it still has some great moments. It also has some not-so-great moments, including a very particular cliffhanger. You know the one we're talking about.
