On This Day... 1st August


The Doctor and his companions embarked on A Desperate Venture today in 1964, as The Sensorites reached its sixth and final instalment. 
In 1985, the radio series Slipback continued on the BBC's Pirate Radio 4 with the third and fourth of its 10 minute episodes.


Today we wish actor Ian Hogg a happy 85th birthday. He played Josiah Samuel Smith in Ghost Light.
He shares his birthday with Jolyon Booth, who played the Menoptra Prapillius in The Web Planet. He turns 90.
We also remember Gertan Klauber (the slave galley overseer in The Romans, and Ola in The Macra Terror) who died on this date in 2008, aged 76; and John Flint, who was Sir William des Preaux in The Crusade and Concorde Captain Urquhart in Time-Flight. He passed away in 1987, aged 58.
