December 9th
One of the surviving episodes of the Second Doctor 1967 adventure The Ice Warriors was broadcast this day. That would be part five, which was watched by 8 million viewers. Fast forward to 1978 and the Fourth Doctor was starring in the penultimate episode of The Androids of Tara, which was watched by 8.9 million viewers. It'll be a 40 year jump for our next Who episode, and that would be the finale of series eleven of Doctor Who. Titled The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos it premiered on BBC One on this day in 2018 and was watched by 6.65 million viewers.
Birthdays
The man behind the camera for Doctor Who's first ever episode celebrates his birthday today. Waris Hussein was born on this day in 1938, meaning he was a spritely 24 whilst filming An Unearthly Child.
Happy birthday to you!
