First up, from 1967 it's episode 4 of the Second Doctor adventure The Moonbase which drew an audience of 8.1 million viewers. Moving on to 1972 and it's that time when the Third Doctor came face to face with Nigel Farage...

Could be, though, couldn't it? But it isn't, it's the second part of the The Sea Devils which was watched by an audience of 9.7 million. Finally for today in Doctor Who history, March 4th 1978 brought us part five of The Invasion Of Time which was watched by 10.3 million people.
