abstract
  • It heralded the new production era in a couple of small but significant ways. It was the first story to use an overall on-screen title as opposed to being comprised of episodes with individual titles. It was also the first story to have a production code of more than a single character. More significantly, it was the new production team's first opportunity to impact the casting of the regulars. Peter Purves was written out by the end of the story. It was also Jackie Lane's last full serial and the final televised off-Earth story for the First Doctor. William Hartnell showed a pre-regenerative weariness and would be eased out of the series in twelve episodes. It therefore had a certain commonality with Warriors' Gate and Resurrection of the Daleks as the point at which an incarnation of the Doctor began to lose long-term companions before an impending regeneration. The end of this story also marked the first time since "An Unearthly Child" that the First Doctor journeyed with just a single female companion. Narratively, therefore, the end of The Savages was an important point for writers in other media. Several books featured the Doctor/Dodo team in the wake of The Savages, such as the novel The Man in the Velvet Mask.
