==Story style== The Third Doctor stories were the first to be broadcast in colour. The early ones were set on Earth because he had been exiled there when the [[Second Doctor]] was banished to Earth by his people, the [[Time Lord]]s, and forced to regenerate. On Earth, he worked with the [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier]] and the rest of the [[United Nations Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] team. However, as his tenure progressed he had reasons to leave Earth, on occasion being sent on missions by the Time Lords. Eventually, after his defeat of the renegade [[Omega (Doctor Who)|Omega]] in ''[[The Three Doctors (Doctor Who)|The Three Doctors]]'', he was granted complete freedom by the Time Lords in gratitude for saving [[Gallifrey]]. The Third Doctor's era introduced adversaries including the Autons, the Master, Omega, the [[Sontaran]]s, the [[Silurian (Doctor Who)|Silurians]] and the [[Sea Devil (Doctor Who)|Sea Devil]]s. The [[Dalek]]s returned after a five-year absence about halfway through Pertwee's run. The Third Doctor was the only one from the classic series not to have a story featuring the [[Cybermen]] (although they were seen briefly in ''The Mind of Evil''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/15BgNB17yNS8rXyctS9hJTr/the-fourth-dimension|title = BBC One - Doctor Who, Season 8, the Mind of Evil - the Fourth Dimension}}</ref> and ''Carnival of Monsters''),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01bnrc3/p01bnqqq|title = BBC One - Doctor Who, Season 10, Carnival of Monsters, Episode 2, Carnival of Monsters: Episode 2 - Carnival of Monsters: Part 2}}</ref> but he did eventually encounter them during "[[The Five Doctors]]".
