March 5th
I know what you're thinking, what's Dodo doing with Sia up there? But no, it's a screengrab from back in 1966 when on this day 5.5 million people were possibly wishing this Dodo was extinct whilst tuning in for the opening episode of the First Doctor story The Ark (entitled The Steel Sky). Oh, and it was broadcast at 5.15pm, in case you were wondering.
Twelve years later, in 1977, 9.8 million scarf loving people tuned in to part two of The Talons of Weng-Chiang.
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.
