February 17th
On this day in 1968 7 million people were watching the Second Doctor in episode three of The Web of Fear. Episode four of the 1973 Third Doctor adventure Carnival Of Monsters was watched by 8.4 million viewers. Moving onto 1979 and part five of The Armageddon Factor drew an audience of 8.6 million.
That's not quite all for this day as during the wilderness years Radio 4 listeners were treated to the fifth part of the Third Doctor radio drama The Ghosts of N Space on this day in 1996.
