February

Early 1966

  • Exact date unknown - William Hartnell sent shockwaves through the Doctor Who production team by announcing his intention to leave the series. Over the following months, producers and writers developed the concept of regeneration to explain the change of lead actor and cast Patrick Troughton as the new Doctor; Hartnell eventually agreed to appear in the first two serials of the new season.

March

April

May

  • The Doctor Who production office circulated a memo to writers outlining the proposed character of the Second Doctor, as well as suggestions on handling the first regeneration, which was initially compared to an LSD trip gone bad.[1]
  • 07 - "Don't Shoot the Pianist" (TV: The Gunfighters Episode 2) was first broadcast.
  • 14 - "Johnny Ringo" (TV: The Gunfighters Episode 3) was first broadcast.
  • 20 - Mervyn Pinfield, a director and associate producer for Doctor Who, died.
  • 21 - "The OK Corral" (TV: The Gunfighters Episode 4) was first broadcast. This marked the final time individual episode titles would be used in the original series (the practice would resume in 2005).
  • 28 - TV: The Savages Episode 1 was first broadcast.

Unknown dates

  • Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space was published by World Distributors. A hardcover novella, this was the first publication of an original long-form text story to feature the First Doctor. (It was presumably published prior to October as it featured the First Doctor.)
  • US comic book publisher Dell Comics issued a single-issue adaptation of the Dr. Who and the Daleks film. This was the first (and, until the early 1980s, only) appearance of a Doctor Who-related comic book in the US.
