For three episodes of The Highlanders, Jamie had simply been a guest character. From today's Part Four in 1967, however, he joined the TARDIS crew at the story's conclusion and was elevated to full companion status. He would go on to appear in a further 19 stories, over the course of the next three years.
Also on this date, Underworld got underway with its first instalment in 1978. An often over-looked story - due to the budget crisis which meant sets having to be replaced with CSO scenes - it added a significant element to Time Lord lore: the reason for the Time Lords' non-interventionism was given as a result of their disastrous interference in the affairs of the Minyans.
