October was a month notable on Earth for the celebration of Halloween. (AUDIO: Invaders from Mars, COMIC: Imaginary Enemies) The Sixth Doctor stated that no where in N-Space was there a location that had the same October mornings as Earth. (AUDIO: The Spectre of Lanyon Moor) Sometimes, Winter would start near Halloween.

By year

20th century

In 1929, the Wall Street Crash brought nearly a decade of "wealth and excess" in the United States to a sudden end, bringing about the Great Depression. (PROSE: A History of Humankind)

In 1930, the R101 airship crashed into the countryside of France. (AUDIO: Storm Warning)

In 1939, after the invasion of Poland, Nazi Germany offered to re-open negotiations with Britain and France but this was refused. Nazi propaganda used this to paint the Allies as the aggressors in the conflict and claimed that October, not September, therefore marked the true start of World War II. (PROSE: Just War, AUDIO: Just War)

In 1940, the Blitz continued. On 12 October, the New Regency Theatre, owned and operated by the late Henry Gordon Jago in the 1890s, was destroyed in the Blitz, as was the hotel next to it. (AUDIO: Swan Song)

In 1941, Winston Churchill wrote that he was still concerned about Edwin Bracewell, and considered sending him to Bletchley Park where he could be watched by the liked of Alan Turing. (PROSE: The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill)

In 1942, the Eighth Doctor arrived in Sierra Leone and heard about the mysterious incident which had taken place in the border village of Markebo back in June. He began his own investigation which lasted for much of the rest of the war. (PROSE: The Turing Test)

In 1944, the Seventh Doctor and Ace arrived at Colditz Castle, where the presence of Ace's Walkman nearly granted the Germans access to anachronistic laser technology which would have given them the edge in their nuclear program. The Doctor prevented this by removing the Walkman, although Elizabeth Klein, a native of the now-defunct timeline, remained at large. (AUDIO: Colditz)

In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred, an event which almost plunged the world into a nuclear war. (PROSE: Heart of TARDIS, COMIC: The Piggybackers)

In 1963, the First Doctor and Susan Foreman investigated the cause of violent tribal instincts manifesting themselves among residents of Coal Hill. They discovered the presence of a German Wunderwaffe dropped on Mayfield Terrace during the Blitz, and activated in June 1963 when the terrace wad demolished. (AUDIO: Hunters of Earth)

Later history

In 2016, the Shadow Kin attacked the Autumn Prom at Coal Hill Academy, in pursuit of Charlie Smith and Andrea Quill. The Twelfth Doctor assisted the pair in repelling the Shadow Kin, and assembled the Coal Hill defenders to deal with future invasions & incidents that would occur around Shoreditch as a result of the space-time tears at Coal Hill. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die) Throughout the rest of the year, they would deal with numerous alien encounters. (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo et al.)

October was an important month for the Ponds when they settled down during the Year of the Slow Invasion. In this month, Amy agreed to be a bridesmaid at her friend Laura's wedding, while Rory got a full-time job at the hospital. Brian Williams also kept a log so he could constantly monitor the Shakri cubes that had landed on Earth. (TV: The Power of Three)

The newly-regenerated Tenth Doctor planned to take Rose Tyler to the planet Barcelona on 6PM of a Tuesday in October 5006, his previous incarnation having told her that she would've "love[d] it" immediately prior to his regeneration. However, he cancelled this to take her back home to the Powell Estate on Christmas Eve 2006. (TV: Children in Need Special)
