  • Doctor Who: The Unfolding Text, one of the first widely published scholarly works on the franchise, first published in both the UK and US.
  • 23 -
    • 20th anniversary of the first broadcast of Doctor Who
    • DW: ''The Five Doctors is broadcast for the first time on PBS affiliates in the United States (which are also received on cable television in Canada). This version is slightly truncated compared to the version shown two days later in the UK. This marks the first time a Doctor Who production has been broadcast in another country before the United Kingdom (it would next happen with the 1996 broadcast of Doctor Who). This is the first "feature-length" regular episode of Doctor Who produced.
  • 24 - DWN: Doctor Who - The Five Doctors First Published. This is the first time a Target Books novelisation has been published before the UK broadcast premiere of an episode. According to the 2008 DVD release of The Five Doctors, this is widely believed to be an error.
  • 25 - DW: The Five Doctors is first broadcast in the UK, as part of that year's Children in Need fund-raising drive.
