On This Day... 22nd January


The fourth and final episode of The Face of Evil was first broadcast today in 1977. 
One of its guest artists was celebrating her birthday that day - Pamela Salem. She would appear on screen in the next story, but provided one of the voices for Xoanon in this episode. Later, she would feature as Professor Rachel Jensen in Remembrance of the Daleks. She turns 72 today.
Back in 1966, The Daleks' Master Plan was nearing its conclusion with its eleventh instalment. The episode was entitled The Abandoned Planet.
Another Dalek story did reach its end today, with the fourth episode of Day of the Daleks broadcast in 1972.


Today's birthday of note is that of Tommy Knight, who played Sarah Jane Smith's adopted son Luke in The Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as the Doctor Who episodes The Stolen Earth, Journey's End and The End of Time Part II. He turns 29. As well as sharing a birthday with Pamela Salem he also shares it with the War Doctor, John Hurt, who would have been 82 today.
