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. You can click on any red text to read our full retrospectives/reviews for that episode, and note that all viewing figures listed are for UK broadcasts (unless otherwise stated).
April 3rd
If you wanted to celebrate the episodes broadcast today in Doctor Who history by re-watching them, then sadly the First Doctor pure historical story The Crusade, which continued on this day in 1965, is partly missing from the archives, and part two which aired on this day in 1965 and titled The Knight of Jaffa (as in Israel and not 'small ones are more juicy') is one of them, so only the 8.5 million viewers tuned in at 5:42pm have had the full pleasure. Two regenerations and 6 years later, the Third Doctor faced episode four of The Claws of Axos. Broadcast Saturday April 3rd 1971 at 5.15pm and watched by 7.8 million viewers. Then, on this day in 2010, 10.08 million viewers watched the Eleventh Doctor's era, and indeed the Steven Moffat era of Doctor Who, begin with The Eleventh Hour.
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.
