On 5 November 1605, Guy Fawkes attempted to bomb Parliament as part of the Gunpowder Plot. His failure was later celebrated in Britain as Bonfire Night on 5 November each year. (PROSE: The Plotters, GAME: The Gunpowder Plot, WC: The Night After Hallowe'en, TV: Galaxy 4, TV: Sky)
The Eleventh Doctor attended a Bonfire Night with Louie Rollins and Millie Peterson, when the effigies of Fawkes that were to be burned were animated by an alien force. (WC: The Night After Hallowe'en)
Away from schemes and celebrations, in 1854, Mollie Dawson's uncle was killed at the Battle of Inkerman during the Crimean War. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks)
