On This Day... 4th June

 
In 1966 The Savages moved on to its second episode.
Boom Town saw the TARDIS return to Cardiff today in 2005, to refuel from the space / time rift that we first learned about in The Unquiet Dead. The whole Torchwood set-up was based on this premise, and the TARDIS would stop off for a quick refuel once again in Utopia, which linked directly with the conclusion of Torchwood's first series.
Were you ro come up with a top ten of pre-title sequences, the one for A Good Man Goes To War (2011) must surely feature. It provides one of Rory's signature moments.


Today we wish Bradley Walsh a happy 62nd birthday. He played companion Graham, who was the best thing about Series 11, but underused in Series 12. He wasn't even given a decent departure scene - though it is reported that he will probably appear in the Centenary Special.
He shares his birthday with Julie Gardner, who turns 53. She was the executive producer for Russell T Davies' first tenure as show-runner. The series would never have returned without her. As a co-founder of Bad Wolf Productions, she is about to produce the series once again.
David Yip - The Chinese Detective - is 71 today. He played the slave-worker Veldan in Destiny of the Daleks.
