On today's date, in 1966, the second episode of The Smugglers was first broadcast. This story was the low-key opener for Season 4.
You could tell the Autumn was when new series of Doctor Who usually started, back in the classic era of the programme, as Season 15's first story was also underway, in 1977. Today saw the debut of Part Three of Horror of Fang Rock.
Since 2005, new series tended initially to commence in the Spring, but not so for Series 6. The second half of this series was held back to start in the Autumn, which is why The God Complex could first be screened on this date in 2011.
