Welcome to our daily round-up of the Doctor Who episodes which received their premiere broadcast on this day throughout the show's long history, along with anything else of note that may have taken place. You can click on any red text to read our full retrospectives/reviews for that episode, and note that all viewing figures listed are for UK broadcasts (unless otherwise stated).
July 29th
As it says above, all viewing figures are for UK premiere broadcasts unless otherwise stated. And right now we've got to state that the only Doctor Who related programme to receive its premiere broadcast on July 29th throughout the show's history took place in the USA. That would be, of course, Torchwood: Miracle Day. Episode 4 debuted on the U.S. premioum cable channel Starz on July 29th 2011, and it went under the title of Escape to L.A. Just .94 million viewers were tuned in that Friday evening for, what felt like, the first filler episode of the 10 part series.
