* ''[[Short Trips: Farewells]]'' was first published. With [[BBC Books]] having retired its [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]] and [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures]] book lines at the end of 2005, the ''Short Trips'' collections were now the only source for original (licensed) literary stories featuring the first eight incarnations of the Doctor.
* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dreamland (audio story)|Dreamland]]'' was first released. It was the final episode of the [[Big Finish Productions]] audio spin-off series, ''[[Sarah Jane Smith (audio series)|Sarah Jane Smith]]'', as the character returned to television later this month.

* [[13 April]] - The first episode of ''[[Totally Doctor Who]]'' aired in the UK. Similar in some ways to ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'', this BBC series also took a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the series, but with the focus on a kid-friendly point of view.

It set the groundwork for the later spinoff, ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. This episode was also the first to definitively link the new series to the 1963-89 classic series in direct continuity. [[Anthony Stewart Head]], a frequent voiceover contributor to various ''Doctor Who'' projects, made his first and, to date only, on-screen appearance. [[Mickey Smith]], played by [[Noel Clarke]], graduated from recurring character to companion with this episode becoming, in the process, the first-ever non-Caucasian television companion (although there had been others in the comic strips previously).

In a surprise cliffhanger, successfully kept secret from Internet spoilers and the press, popular comic actor [[Catherine Tate]] appeared for the first time as [[Donna Noble]], although the character's name was not revealed until months later. This episode was also historic for featuring the first on-screen interaction between [[Dalek]]s and [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]. The broadcast was followed by the final episode of ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'s'' second season.

The competition in the category also included "Pegasus", an episode of ''Battlestar Galactica''; ''Jack-Jack Attack'', an animated short spun-off from the film ''The Incredibles''; ''Lucas Back in Anger'', a short film; and, controversially, the opening segment of the previous year's Prix Victor Hugo Awards Ceremony.
