The twenty-fifth season of British science fiction television series
Doctor Who began on 5 October 1988. It comprised four separate
serials, beginning with Remembrance of the Daleks and ending with The
Greatest Show in the Galaxy. To mark the 25th anniversary season,
producer John Nathan-Turner brought back the Daleks and the Cybermen.
The American New Jersey Network also made a special behind-the-scenes
documentary called The Making of Doctor Who, which followed the
production of the 25th anniversary story Silver Nemesis.Season 25 saw
script editor Andrew Cartmel, who had joined for the previous season,
exert a greater influence on the style of the series. He had watched
serials from the Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes era such as The
Seeds of Doom and The Talons of Weng-Chiang in preparation for it and
concluded that the series should return to a more serious and dramatic
approach. The season also saw the start of a move to explore the
Doctor's past; Cartmel had felt that as more of the character's own
history, together with the history of the Time Lords, had been
revealed, some of the mystery about the Doctor had been lost. As a
consequence, together with new writers Ben Aaronovitch and Marc Platt,
he began developing the seeds of a new backstory, which would be
hinted at throughout the season, that suggested the Doctor to be more
powerful than most people were aware of. This concept eventually came
to be known as the "Cartmel Masterplan".Terry Molloy makes his final
appearance as Davros, the Dalek creator (now acting as the Dalek
Emperor) in Remembrance of the Daleks. Doctor Who (season 25) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
