For the Doctor and his companions it was an Escape to Danger today in 1965. That was the third episode of The Web Planet.
A Zarbi was one of the foes which the Third Doctor saw when under attack by the Master's alien Mind Parasite at Stangmoor Prison. The Mind of Evil arrived at its fifth episode today in 1971.
Meanwhile, Richard Briers, who had previously portrayed the Chief Caretaker in Paradise Towers, was the guest star in the Torchwood episode A Day in the Death in 2008.
Nicholas Courtney was playing the Brigadier tonight in 2000, but not in Doctor Who or any of its spin-offs. Comedian Harry Hill was naming Labour politician Clare Short as the new Doctor, and the Brigadier was on hand to welcome her to the role. He had a special cut glass bowl to present to her, but unfortunately a Cyberman (played by Hill) knocked it out of his hands.
In another sketch, Hill once played Davros opposite Jon Pertwee.
Today we wish Tom Chadbon a happy 76th birthday. He is best known for playing private detective Duggan in the classic City of Death, but also featured in The Mysterious Planet as Merdeen.
