Events

Doctor Who Universe

• Reginald Tyler dies, still working obsessively on revisions to his The True History of Planets. (EDA: Mad Dogs and Englishmen)
• The Doctor and Lucie Miller arrive in England at a service station on the M62 sometime in the winter. (BFA: Horror of Glam Rock)

• The Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones go to London and find that a cat has turned people into sand figures. (IDW: Agent Provocateur)

Real World

Unknown dates

• Jon Pertwee and Elisabeth Sladen record a special 10-minute mini-adventure featuring the Third Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith and the Daleks for the BBC Radio programme Glorious Goodwood. This appears to be the earliest known original Doctor Who audio story. It is never broadcast, and is eventually included on one of the Doctor Who at the BBC CD releases in 2005.
• Doctor Who receives one of its first pieces of major critical recognition when it receives the 1974 Writers' Guild Award for Best British Children's Original Drama Script. This fact is trumpeted on the covers of Target novelisations published afterwards.

January

• 05 - DW: The Time Warrior Episode 4 is first broadcast.
• 12 - DW: Invasion of the Dinosaurs Episode 1 is first broadcast. The episode carries the title Invasion! to preserve the cliffhanger of episode 1. This is the first time since the final episode of DW: The Gunfighters aired in May 1966 that an episode has carried a title different than that of the complete storyline.
• 14 - Paul Whitsun-Jones, who played the Squire in DW: The Smugglers and the Marshal in DW: The Mutants, dies from appendicitis.
• 17 - Target Books follows up its successful 1973 re-printings of novelisations from the 1960s with the publications of its first newly commissioned adaptations, DWN: Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion by Terrance Dicks, based upon the Third Doctor serial DW: Spearhead from Space, and DWN: Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters by Malcolm Hulke, adapting DW: Doctor Who and the Silurians. Auton Invasion would be the first of many Doctor Who novels written by Dicks over the next 30-plus years and Target would continue to novelise Doctor Who adventures for the next 20 years. The practice of giving novelisations titles differing from the broadcast versions would continue off-and-on into the 1980s, though it would occur less frequently from the late 1970s.
  • Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion also marks the start of a long and prolific association between Dicks and the world of Doctor Who printed fiction; over the next 35 years he would go on to write not only the lion's share of Target novelisations, but also contribute to most of the later lines of spin-off continuation fiction.
