On This Day... 28th May


The Doctor thought he had come across an advanced and enlightened society today in 1966, in the opening episode of The Savages. This was the very first instalment not to have its own individual episode title.
In 2005 the Doctor showed off some of his moves in The Doctor Dances, one of the stupidest titles ever. The Doctor does dance, but only at the end of the episode after the actual plot has ended. Moffat was using the word as a euphemism for sex, but there's none of that either. He and Rose just talk about it briefly - again nothing to do with the plot at all.
2011 saw the debut of The Almost People, another concluding episode of a two-parter.


Today we have a brace of female guest artist birthdays - 
   Anne Reid (The Curse of Fenric, Smith and Jones) turns 87,
   Carey Mulligan (Blink) is 37,
   Michelle Collins (42) is 60,
   Faith Brown (Attack of the Cybermen) is 78,
   Patricia Quinn (Dragonfire) is also 78,
And Kylie Minogue (Voyage of the Damned) is 54.
