The fifth season of British science fiction television program Doctor Who began on 3 April 2010 with "The Eleventh Hour" and ended with "The Big Bang" on 26 June 2010. The season was led by head writer and executive producer Steven Moffat, who took over after Russell T. Davies, who ended his involvement with the show after The End of Time. The season comprises 13 episodes, six of which Moffat wrote. Piers Wenger and Beth Willis served with Moffat as executive producers, while Tracie Simpson and Peter Bennett served as producers. Though it is the fifth season since the show's revival in 2005 and the thirty-first since it began in 1963, the largely new production team led to the season production codes being reset.
