What should have been the final episode of Season 12 was finally broadcast on this day in 1975. This was Part Four of Terror of the Zygons. This story was held back to launch Season 13 early, as the BBC wanted to spike the guns of ITV, who had bought Gerry Anderson's latest series - the hugely expensive Space 1999. As things worked out, the Anderson series failed to make much of an impact in the UK due to the regional patchwork nature of ITV.
Also on this date, in 1980, we had the fourth and final instalment of The Leisure Hive.
In 1986 the third episode of the epic Trial of a Time Lord was first broadcast, and in 1989 the third episode of Battlefield was shown.
Moving onto the revived series, Time Heist debuted on this date in 2014.
