I had forgotten that the demises of Adric and the Fifth Doctor were precisely two years apart.
For New Who, the winning date is 25th December, Christmas Day, which has seen five specials (The Christmas Invasion in 2005, The Runaway Bride in 2006, Voyage of the Damned in 2007, The Next Doctor in 2008 and The End of Time #1 in 2009). Add to that "The Feast of Steven" / The Daleks' Master Plan #7, and it gets up to six as well.
If you add together all incarnations of Who including Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures, 22nd October also joins the list of dates which have had six episodes first broadcast over the years: The Tenth Planet #3 (1966); The Invisible Enemy #4 (1977); the first two episodes of Torchwood, Everything Changes and Day One (2006); Warriors of Kudlak #2 (Sarah Jane Adventures, 2007); and The Mad Woman in the Attic #1 (Sarah Jane Adventures, 2009).
But that also gives you one day of the year which on which seven episodes of Doctor Who and the spinoffs have been broadcast for the first time. That day is 1st January, and the episodes are "Volcano" / The Daleks' Master Plan #8 (1966); Day of the Daleks #1 (1972); The Face of Evil #1 (1977); the Sarah Jane Adventures pilot, Invasion of the Bane (2007); the two last episodes of the first series of Torchwood, Captain Jack Harkness and End of Days (also 2007), and of course The End of Time #2 (2010) where we bade farewell to David Tennant and heard Matt Smith say 'Geronimo!'
Well, I hope you appreciate that. It amused me on a wet Sunday afternoon.
