Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Doctor Who Season 10 earns its spot. Doctor Who Season 10 treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. William Hartnell returned in a cameo as the First Doctor and Patrick Troughton in a more substantial role as the Second Doctor in The Three Doctors. This story marked the end of the Doctor's exile on Earth, opening up the series to more off-world adventures and beginning a gradual reduction of UNIT-related stories. Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1972. What separates Doctor Who Season 10 from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.
