Sunday was a day of the week. The Doctor's tenth incarnation claimed to never land on Sundays, calling them "boring". (TV: Silence in the Library) His eleventh self listed Sundays in his list of "boring stuff", along with Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut) Ace similarly expressed her dislike for the day, calling it "the one day of the week you can't even get a decent television programme". (TV: Survival)
When the First Doctor's TARDIS arrived in London in 2167, Ian Chesterton noted it was "pretty deserted", jokingly suggesting it was a Sunday. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) The Third Doctor made a similar joke to Sarah Jane Smith when they arrived in a similarly deserted London, this time in the 1970s, saying, "Great Britain always closes on Sundays." (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs) Donna Noble also inquired as to whether she and the Tenth Doctor had landed on a Sunday when they realised that there was "silence in the Library". (TV: Silence in the Library)
Sunday school took place on Sundays. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks, PROSE: The Eleventh Tiger) Sunday school was the only form of education Gwyneth received. (TV: The Unquiet Dead)
Football games were often on Sundays. (PROSE: Head of State)
Another event that frequently took place on Sundays was referred to as "Sunday roast." (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace)
On Sundays, Mary McGinty would work in "the newsagent". (TV: Turn Left)
The Apollo 11 mission to the Moon landed on Sunday 20 July 1969. (PROSE: Blue Moon)
Behind the scenes
