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.

July 6th
Although July 6th is another day with no actual Doctor Who episodes receiving their debut broadcast, Monday July 6th 2009 did see the start of something very special indeed...

Torchwood reached its pinnacle in storytelling with the five night event Torchwood: Children of Earth. Broadcast at 9pm on BBC One, having moved up the channels (Series 1 on BBC Three, Series 2 on BBC Two, and here we are hitting the big time), Day One kicked off with a very respectable 6.6 million viewers. #Hooked they would be at the end of a rather fantastic hour.
Something for the actual children of Earth now, as the final episode of the first season of Totally Doctor Who (episode 13) was broadcast on this day in 2006 on BBC One at 5pm (and later on CBBC). As well as going behind the scenes of the Doctor Who Series 2 season finale Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday, the special studio guest was Elisabeth Sladen - a talent we deeply miss.
That's it for today. Join us again tomorrow for another round-up of the episodes broadcast, the spin-offs, the special events, the birthday's celebrated and anything else of note that went down on this day in Doctor Who history.
