Season 5

Season 5 of Doctor Who ran from 2 September 1967 to 1 June 1968. It starred Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon and Deborah Watling as Victoria Waterfield. The season opened with The Tomb of the Cybermen and concluded with The Wheel in Space.

Overview
It consisted of seven serials comprised of forty episodes, many of which are lost. No complete stories from the season were known to have survived until the early-1990s when archivists recovered a complete version of The Tomb of the Cybermen.

A second complete story, The Enemy of the World was recovered in 2013, along with a nearly complete recovery of the story that followed it, The Web of Fear.

It is also the only season, as of 2020, where a missing episode (The Web of Fear episode 3) is known to exist but has not yet been returned to the BBC. The episode in question went missing from its known location just prior to recovery of the other episodes.

Individual episodes have survived for a few of the other stories, and audio recordings exist for all. This was the first season not to have any episodes featuring Daleks. This is the first season where each story had a unique director. This is also the first season to feature no historical stories.

The season is also notable for having Patrick Troughton play a double-role as both the Doctor and Salamander in The Enemy of the World.
