The Daleks' Master Plan gave us its fifth episode today in 1965 - Counter Plot, This is one of only three instalments of this 12 part serial which still survives.
It is also the only Doctor Who episode (or its spin-offs) to have made its debut on this day. Many of the series of Nu-Who had their openings in the Spring, whilst seasons in the classic era often paused for a break over Christmas and New Year, to avoid stories being interrupted halfway through.
Even when Nu-Who series opened in the Autumn, they had usually finished by late November, to allow a long enough break until the Christmas Special.
