On This Day... 2nd November


The Invasion began today in 1968 - or at least Part One of the Cyberman epic did. 
In 1987 Delta and the Bannermen had its first episode debut, and exactly a year later The Happiness Patrol commenced with its first part.
The Empty Planet concluded with its second episode in 2010.

Today we should also remember Paddy Russell, who directed four highly regarded Doctor Who stories, as well as being closely associated with Rudolph Cartier (1984 and the Quatermass serials). Her Who stories were The Massacre, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Pyramids of Mars and Horror of Fang Rock. She passed away on this day in 2017, at the age of 89.
Let's also remember Michael Spice - Magnus Greel and the voice of Morbius - who passed away on this date in 1983. He was only 52.
