Moffat and Chibnall weren't all that original in having a reveal of a hitherto unknown incarnation of the Doctor. John Nathan Turner, Eric Saward and Robert Holmes were doing it decades ago.
Today in 1986 Season 23 got underway - a season comprising a single story. Trial of a Time Lord Parts 1 - 4 are usually known as The Mysterious Planet for convenience sake. We wouldn't discover the Valeyard's true nature - a hitherto unknown incarnation of the Doctor - until Part 13.
In 1989 the final season of the classic era began with the opening episode of Battlefield.
Back in 1975 Terror of the Zygons moved on to its second instalment, as did The Leisure Hive in 1980.
The Twelfth Doctor was discovering that there really was a Robin Hood today in 2014, in Robot of Sherwood.
Finally, in 2011, the Doctor Who Prom was shown on BBC Three.
