Invasion of Albert Square
Doctor Who Fact File
The first episode of Dr Who was screened on Saturday, November 23, 1963 — the day after President Kennedy's assassination.
Because it was transmitted late - news was still coming in from Dallas — the BBC repeated it the following week.
★ There have been two Dr Who movies - Dr Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD (1966). Both films starred Peter Cushing as the Doctor.

★ There have been three stage plays of Dr Who. The most recent, Dr Who: The Ultimate Adventure in the 80s, starred Jon Pertwee and subsequently Colin Baker.
★ Dr Who has been sold over the years to 65 countries — the equivalent of a world-wide audience of more than 110 million viewers.
★ The first producer of Dr Who was Verity Lambert — who went on to make Eldorado!
★ Dr Who merchandise has always stretched the imagination. Apart from the usual t-shirts, mugs and jigsaws there have been chess sets, Dalek bubble-bath, wallpaper, lemonade and even Dr Who underpants, which sold 250,000 pairs.
★ There is an Italian Dr Who Appreciation Society even though the programme has never been transmitted there!
★ The Daleks, Dr Who's most popular adversaries, first appeared in December 1963. They were created by writer Terry Nation.
