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.

January 2nd
Two episodes of Doctor Who received their premiere broadcast on January 2nd but before either of them aired, on this day in 1948 Deborah Watling was born. Back in the 1960s she played Victoria Waterfield, companion to the Second Doctor.<
Now, as for those episodes, first up the First Doctor began a two-part adventure on this day in 1965. Part one of The Rescue (entitled The Powerful Enemy) was watched by a huge audience of 12 million.
Also on January 2nd, let's take a trip in a Type 40 to 1971 to join the 7.3 million people who were introduced to the Master for the very first time when episode one of Terror of the Autons was broadcast.
Join us again tomorrow for another round-up of the episodes broadcast, the spin-offs aired, the special events, the birthday's celebrated and anything else of note that went down on this day in Doctor Who history.
