Events

Late March - The TARDIS materializes in the junkyard at 76 Totter's Lane, owned by I.M. Foreman, in the Shoreditch area of London, its navigational systems and chameleon circuit damaged by radiation from the Hand of Omega. While the Doctor attempts repairs and works out a plan for safely disposing of the Hand on Earth, Susan, against his wishes, registers at the nearby Coal Hill School. Britain, meanwhile, is in the grip of an unusual cold wave.

(Note: Dating and other information is suggested by the Telos novella Time and Relative, although material in An Unearthly Child and Remembrance of the Daleks suggests that the TARDIS arrives in May)

Late October - The Doctor has made arrangements with a local funeral parlor to bury the Hand of Omega in a nearby churchyard. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks)
The events of An Unearthly Child take place

22 - In Texas, President John F. Kennedy is assassinated by James Stevens, a journalist who has travelled from the future using a time ring. Stevens is the long-rumored "man on the grassy knoll," who has murdered the President to thwart the Master's plan to sabotage Earth's history and create a timeline in which UNIT and very possibly the Third Doctor never existed. (MA: Who Killed Kennedy) The Ninth Doctor is in the crowd watching President Kennedy's motorcade drive by just before the President is assassinated. A photograph which shows the Doctor among the spectators later finds its way into Clive Finch's collection of files about the Doctor. (DW: Rose)
23 - A new science-fiction serial, Doctor ___, begins broadcasting on the BBC. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks) The Nemesis passes by Earth, heralding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (see below). (DW: Silver Nemesis)
