On This Day... 24th March

 

It's Frontier In Space Day again today. In 1973 its fifth instalment became the only episode ever to debut on this day. As many of the new series launched at the end of March or early in April, this is the last time we will see this.

Today we wish actor Stephen Yardley a very happy 80th birthday. He made two appearances in the series. The first was as Sarah's Muto friend Sevrin in Genesis of the Daleks. He returned ten years later to play Arak in Vengeance on Varos.

Amongst those he shares a birthday with is Finn Jones, best known for Game of Thrones, who played Jo's grandson Santiago in Death of the Doctor. He turns 34.
