On This Day... 2nd September


You can tell that summer is pretty much over as the various seasons and series of Doctor Who are all getting underway around now.
Today it's the turn of Seasons 5 and 16 - AKA the Monster season and the Key to Time season.
The Tomb of the Cybermen began today in 1967, and The Ribos Operation got underway in 1978.

Among today's birthdays we have Gai Smith, who played Gallifreyan outsider Presta in The Invasion of Time. She is 68.
Sean Gallagher, who played Chip in New Earth, is 57; and Kay Patrick - the Empress Poppaea in The Romans, and Flower in The Savages, turns 81.
The cinematic Ian Chesterton, Roy Castle, passed away on this date in 1994, aged 62.
Derek Seaton, who played Chancellery Guard Captain Hilred in The Deadly Assassin, was only 35 when he died in 1979.
