Tonight's Series 13 opener, The Halloween Apocalypse, will be only the third episode of Doctor Who to have been broadcast on this day. It's the only one to date which actually makes use of Halloween.
Closest would be "Kebab Guy" in The Woman Who Fell to Earth, who tells the alien that Halloween isn't until next month, then has the immortal line "Eat my salad, Halloween" as he flicks lettuce at him.
The first episode to be broadcast on this day was the opening instalment of Planet of Giants - the episode which gives the story its overall title - in 1964.
We had to wait until 2015 for the next episode - The Zygon Invasion.
Happy Halloween!
