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).
May 9th
On this day in 1964 the fifth and penultimate part of The Keys of Marinus (titled Sentence of Death) was broadcast at 5.14pm and watched by a 7.9 million viewers.
And finally for this week in Doctor Who history, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Brig was off to a fancy dress party as a pirate but rather it's an alternate universe Lethbridge-Stewart. Yes, it's back to 1970, the year that Doctor Who first aired in glorious colour, and episode 1 of Inferno got underway on this day. It was watched by 5.7 million viewers.
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.
