Third episodes today for both The Evil of the Daleks, in 1967, and The Time Monster in 1972.
In 2006 the Ood made their debut appearance in The Impossible Planet. Originally it was going to be Slitheen who fulfilled their role in this episode. The Ood have gone on to become one of the revived series' most featured aliens, still going strong in the recent Flux.
Far less successful were the Monks who made their final appearance today in 2017, in the hugely disappointing Lie of the Land.
Sharing her birthday are Ian Gelder (Can You Hear Me? and Torchwood: Children of Earth), who turns 73, and Bill Patterson (Victory of the Daleks and The Pandorica Opens) who is 77.
Today we also remember Damaris Hayman, who played Miss Hawthorne in The Daemons, and Paul Darrow (The Silurians and Timelash). Hayman passed away last year at the age of 91, and Darrow in 2019, aged 78.
Two Troughton guest artists also passed away on this date - Pamela Ann Davy (Janley in Power of the Daleks) in 2018, and Gordon Gostelow (Milo Clancey in The Space Pirates) in 2007.
