On This Day... 24th April


Today in 1965 the Doctor and his companions found themselves in The Space Museum the first episode of the story of the same name. One of the exhibits they came across was a Dalek - and another was themselves!
The third instalment of Colony in Space made its debut in 1971.
2010 saw the return of the Weeping Angels, en masse this time, in The Time of the Angels, which also featured the first of many returns for River Song.

Today we remember composer Tristram Cary, who provided the music for The Daleks, Marco Polo, The Rescue, The Daleks' Master Plan, The Ark, Power of the Daleks and The Mutants. He was also responsible for the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon in The Gunfighters. Director Christopher Barry liked to reuse some of his work from The Daleks in his later stories. Cary was originally approached to provide the series' theme music by Rex Tucker during his time as acting producer.
He passed away in 2008, aged 82.
