* Unknown date - Charles, Prince of Wales, meets Camilla Shand (later Parker Bowles) for the first time, launching an on-again, off-again relationship that would last for years until they finally married in 2005. Camilla became known among the British populace as the "other woman" behind the breakdown of Charles' marriage to Princess Diana in the 1990s, leading [[Rose Tyler]] to later compare her to [[Madame de Pompadour]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Girl in the Fireplace]]'').
* Unknown dates (but likely after 20th March - see below) - [[Third Doctor|The Doctor]], having recently regenerated for a second time, arrives on Earth to begin his exile (per [[DW]]: ''[[The War Games]]''). Initially amnesiac and under suspicion by [[UNIT]] and [[The Brigadier]], the Doctor soon regains his memory earns their trust by helping thwart the first [[Auton]] invasion. Afterwards, he signs on as UNIT's scientific advisor, gains a new assistant in [[Liz Shaw]], and also takes possession of [[Bessie]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]''). ''Note: the series gives contradictory evidence as to when the Doctor's Earth exile began and the time frame of his association with UNIT, with various episodes suggesting a time frame of several years to a decade in the future. [[Mawdryn Undead]], however, establishes that these events occurred in the early 1970s.''
