William Hartnell was on holiday this week in 1964, so the Doctor was absent from the third instalment of The Keys of Marinus - The Screaming Jungle. This was the first time that one of the leads had been on leave. The Doctor had decided to go on ahead in the previous episode, allowing the star a two week break.
His co-stars would each get a fortnight's break over the course of the following three stories.
The Ambassadors of Death moved on to its penultimate episode today in 1970.
Today's birthdays include Jonathan Bailey (Psi in Time Heist - 34), Cyril Nri (The Sarah Jane Adventures and Class - 61), and John Ogden (Bostock in Revelation of the Daleks - 78).
We also remember actor George Couloris, who appeared in the opening episode of The Keys of Marinus in the role of Arbitan. One of the stars of Citizen Kane, he passed away on this day in 1989 aged 85.
