Spearhead from Space is the first serial of the seventh season in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from 3 January to 24 January 1970. It was the first to be produced in colour. The serial introduced Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor and was the first to feature the Autons. It also introduces Caroline John as the Doctor's new assistant, Liz Shaw. Nicholas Courtney reprises his role as Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart and becomes a regular cast member beginning with this serial.
Plot
The Doctor, having had a "change of appearance" forced upon him by the Time Lords (see The War Games), has been exiled to Earth. The Doctor collapses outside his TARDIS and is taken to Ashbridge Cottage Hospital in Epping, where his unusual anatomy confounds doctors.
Simultaneous with the Doctor's arrival, a swarm of meteorites falls on the English countryside, and a poacher discovers a mysterious plastic polyhedron at the crash site. In the meantime, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart of UNIT is trying to recruit Dr. Elizabeth "Liz" Shaw as his scientific advisor and investigate the unusual meteorite falls. Shaw, however, is sceptical of the Brigadier's claims of alien invasion and is resentful of being taken away from her research at Cambridge. Soon, the Brigadier is faced with another mystery; not far from where the meteorite impacts were reported, a man in hospital claims to be the Doctor (whom Lethbridge-Stewart last encountered in The Invasion). However this Doctor looks nothing like the Doctor the Brigadier knew.

Hey, you all think you see me
Never did this is Harry Houdini
This is Bond with a stirred martini
Not shookly that to a genie
Hey, oh really so sure

Now you kiss the floor, Mr. 4 star, 5 star

Pack of 5, I've been down the shops
Bring down your box 'cause she can't box me
Try pigeon hole me and the pigeons better watch
Hop scotch, I've jumped on your what's hot
Blog spot, I've reclaimed the top spot
Came down and Kate Moss'd your top shop
Now you feeling green with envy
This concerns you, where's your brain at?
You claim that we all wear the same hat
You ain't that cheap Biro somewhere else
You ain't hurt me, this ain't the same track

Open doors, rap velociraptor
Paparazzi captured the action
Papa's got a brand new bag

It don't matter, the kids still rewind me
Time and time again I'll grind you
Winding down your friends, Amen
Youtube views in, who's losing
Don't give a damn, I'm on the new team
I may mooz with a pound and shoe string
We should make possible, now I'm Tom Crusing
Hey, there be no more rapping
If there is then I'll keep it old fashioned
Reckon I'll sing for the second switch size
Like I'm [Incomprehensible]
You didn't like me in rap, so what?

I can't wait for that look on your face
And when you see me from space
I can't wait for that look on your face
And when you look down, when you look down
