On 17 July 6012, a rocket with humans and Hath arrived on the planet Messaline, and they used robot drones to build an underground city. Before long, though, the mission commander died.

The day after Saturn V's launch in 1969, the Tenth Doctor told off the secret agents, Spencer and Milledge for hiding an alien species' transmission just so they could "pervert a pure and innocent gesture of faith into a weapon" with which to win the Cold War.

In 1987, Simon Jenkins — known as "the Capper" because he kneecapped people — set himself on fire in a public courtyard.

Dr Polly Fielding formally filed his death certificate. Only he wasn't dead. (PROSE: Damaged Goods)
