The fifteenth season of British science fiction television series ''Doctor Who'' began on 3 September 1977 with the episode ''Horror of Fang Rock'', and ended with ''The Invasion of Time''. ==Production== Season fifteen proved to be a difficult transition period. Philip Hinchcliffe's departure coincided with the loss of a number of long-time contributors to the show as Graham Williams took over as Producer. Williams remarked, "I had to try and find some new ones, and that wasn't the least of the problems. Bob Holmes was stuck on ''Weng-Chiang'' for ages... all the scripts were coming in late...".〔The Doctors: 30 Years of Time Travel. Boxtree Ltd|Adrian Rigelsford, 1994.〕 Robert Holmes remained to work on the three stories he had commissioned, while his successor, Anthony Read, trailed him in preparation of taking over the position. Read, an experienced director and producer had only agreed to the position of Script Editor because he was intrigued by the chance to work on ''Doctor Who''. Holmes completed ''The Horror of Fang Rock'' and ''The Invisible Enemy'', before leaving due to creative exhaustion. ''Image of the Fendahl'' fell to Read, who had to hastily write K-9 into the story when Holmes made him a regular character. While Tom Baker enjoyed working with John Leeson (the voice of K-9) in rehearsals, he disliked the prop. Holmes recalled, "it used to drive Tom spare, and more often than not, he'd kick it out of frustration."〔 Holmes agreed to write ''The Sun Makers'', and while the story was meant to follow K-9's introduction and establish him as a regular character, scheduling problems- resulting the shelving the scripts that ''Fang Rock'' had to replace- required the story order to change, with ''Fendahl'' preceding it.〔 Baker had found it difficult to accept the violent Leela character since her introduction, contributing to growing tensions between himself and Louise Jameson. According to Jameson, the tension came to a head during the recording of ''Fang Rock'', when she finally confronted Baker over multiple takes of a scene caused by him entering early and cutting her off.〔"The Horror of Fang Rock" DVD, Commentary Track.|BBC, 2005.〕 Tensions between the two eased over the course of the season. Read commissioned Bob Baker and Dave Martin to write ''Underworld'', the penultimate story of the season. Right away, the production was hit hard by record inflation, resulting in the design staff working day and night and inventing new techniques and processes to complete the story on time.〔"Underworld" DVD, Into the Unknown, Making-of Documentary.|BBC, 2010.〕 The final story, ''The Invasion of Time'', proved even more chaotic: with a reduced budget, a complete last-minute re-write by Read and Williams, and a BBC industrial-dispute between the props department and the electricians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doctor Who (season 15)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
