| * [[Jon Pertwee]] and [[Elisabeth Sladen]] recorded a special ten-minute mini-adventure featuring the [[Third Doctor]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and the [[Dalek]]s for the [[BBC Radio]] programme ''[[Glorious Goodwood]]''. This appears to be the earliest known original ''Doctor Who'' audio story. It was never broadcast, but was eventually included on one of the ''[[Doctor Who at the BBC (audio series)|Doctor Who at the BBC]]'' CD releases in [[2005]].
| |
| * ''Doctor Who'' received one of its first pieces of major critical recognition when it received the 1974 Writers' Guild Award for Best British Children's Original Drama Script. This fact was trumpeted on the covers of [[Target novelisation]]s published afterwards.
| |
| * [[2 January]] - Voice actor [[Toby Hadoke]] was born.
| |
| * [[5 January]] - Episode four of ''[[The Time Warrior]]'' was first broadcast on [[BBC1]].
| |
| * [[12 January]] - Episode one of ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'' was first broadcast on [[BBC1]]. The episode bore the on-screen title ''Invasion'' to preserve the cliffhanger of the first episode. This was the first time since the final episode of [[TV]]: ''[[The Gunfighters]]'' aired in [[May]] [[1966]] that an episode carried a title different than that of the complete storyline.
| |
| * [[14 January]] - Actor [[Paul Whitsun-Jones]] died.
| |
| * [[17 January]] - [[Target Books]] followed its successful [[1973]] reprintings of novelisations from the [[1960s]] with the publications of its first newly commissioned adaptations, [[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion]]'' by [[Terrance Dicks]], based upon the [[Third Doctor]] serial [[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'', and [[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters]]'' by [[Malcolm Hulke]], adapting [[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians]]''. ''Auton Invasion'' was the first of many ''Doctor Who'' novels written by Dicks over the next thirty-plus years and Target continued to novelise ''Doctor Who'' adventures for the next twenty years. The practice of giving novelisations titles differing from the broadcast versions continued off-and-on into the [[1980s]], though it occurred less frequently from the late [[1970s]].
| |
| ** ''Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion'' also marked the start of a long and prolific association between Dicks and the world of ''Doctor Who'' printed fiction; over the next thirty-five years he wrote not only the lion's share of Target novelisations, but also contributed to most of the later lines of spin-off continuation fiction.
