Season 34 (Doctor Who)

Season 34 of Doctor Who ran from 18 October 1997 to 14 March 1998. It starred Michael French as the Doctor and Rakie Ayola as Janet Wells, both in their second season whilst this was Ayola's last.

Format and chapter details
This season consisted of eight stories with twenty-two 25-minute episodes. It was the eleventh season in Chapter Two Part III of Doctor Who.

Departures
Season 34 was the fourth and final season for Stephen Garwood as producer and Colin Brake as script editor as well as it being the second and last for Rakie Ayola as companion Janet Wells. Garwood and Brake wanted her departure to be a complete contrast to the usual companion departure, whether it be by choice or death (a more common feature within recent years) as they wanted a reason for Janet leaving the Doctor at the end on very bad terms.

Stories
The eight stories included in this season were: the return of Bernice Summerfield, the Great Intelligence, Winifred Bambera and the Cybermen as well as Charles I, intergalactic mining, historical Japan and Janet's departure.
