Season 14 launched today in 1976, with the first episode of The Masque of Mandragora.
I watched this in a hotel in Blackpool with a friend from school who was on holiday with my family. I love this story now but at the time was disappointed at the lack of monsters. Naturally, we visited the exhibition that weekend - twice.
Today we wish Kai Owen a happy 47th birthday. He played Gwen Cooper's boyfriend / husband Rhys in all four series of Torchwood.
We also wish Edward de Souza a happy 90th. He was space special agent Marc Cory in Mission to the Unknown.
Today also saw the death of Iain Cuthbertson, who gave us the memorable character of Garron in The Ribos Operation. The Scots actor was one of only a handful of guest artists who could more than hold their own opposite Tom Baker. He passed away in 2009, aged 79.
