  • 03 - The final new episode of the original Star Trek series is broadcast in America.
  • 07 - DW: The War Games Episode 8 is first broadcast.
  • 12 - Final taping session for DW: The War Games, marking the end of Patrick Troughton's regular involvement with the programme. It is also the last black and white taping session before the conversion to colour production.
  • 14 - DW: The War Games Episode 9 is first broadcast.
  • 21 - DW: The War Games Episode 10, concluding Season 6, is first broadcast, ending in Patrick Troughton's regeneration (Jon Pertwee, however, does not appear). Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury also leave the series with this episode. The Time Lords and Gallifrey are officially introduced to the series (although the planet's name isn't revealed for several more years). This is the final episode of the series to be produced in black and white. This end of the series also marks the end of the show's long seasons; beginning in 1970 the number of episodes per season is reduced considerably. The hiatus of more than five months that follows before the start of Season 7 is the longest break for the show to date, although longer intervals are still to come.
