Series 3 (Doctor Who)



Series 3 of Doctor Who, occasionally known as season 29 for clarity between it and season 3, ran between 31st March 2007 and 30th June 2007. The season introduced a new companion, Martha Jones, as well as an early appearance by Donna Noble. The main arc for this series focused on the mysterious Mr Saxon, an alias of the Master. A secondary arc involved the emotional aftermath of the Doctor losing Rose Tyler to a parallel dimension at the end of the previous season, and the effect this has on Martha. The season also featured the first crossover with Torchwood as Jack Harkness returns to the series in a storyline that continues on directly from the end of the Torchwood episode, End of Days. Other milestones included the two-part episode Human Nature and The Family of Blood, which was the first to be based upon a previously published Doctor Who novel, and the multiple-award-winning Steven Moffat episode Blink, which becomes one of the most acclaimed Doctor Who episodes in recent memory.
