A "Part Four" kind of day today. Three stories had their concluding fourth instalments broadcast for the first time on this day. The earliest was Pyramids of Mars, in 1975. Then we had Full Circle, in 1980, and after that The Curse of Fenric, in 1989.
Also on this day, Trial of a Time Lord reached its 11th episode (AKA the third instalment of Terror of the Vervoids).
David Tennant was approaching the end of his run as the Doctor, with the latest of the 2009 Specials. This was The Waters of Mars, which was first broadcast on this day.
In 2010, meanwhile, The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 4 arrived at its conclusion - with the opening episode of Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith. This was the first story with the main character's name in the title not to feature the Trickster.
Talking of tricksters, one of the children who featured in Kinda turns 49 today. He was then known as Jonathan Miller - but is better known today as Jonny Lee Miller, of Trainspotting and Elementary fame. Acting runs in his family. His granddad was Bernard Lee - 'M' in the James Bond films from Dr No (1962) to Moonraker (1979).
