The [[An Unearthly Child (The Daft Dimension)|first episode]] was broadcast on the night of [[23 November]] [[1963]]. It was here were ''Doctor Who'' fandom was said to have officially began, with an argument between [[Arnold Grimsbottom]] and [[Arnold Grimsbottom's brother|his brother]] argued over the significance of the unnamed policeman at the beginning of the episode, whom Arnold believed to be the main character. He decided to put his thoughts to paper, by creating the very first ''Doctor Who'' fanzine titled ''[[That Police Man in Episode One is the Main Character, I'm Sure of It!]]'', using a gestetner stencil printer, unfortunately meaning it would take some time for the ink to dry.

The following day, on the morning of [[24 November]], the world's first ''Doctor Who'' joke was created by a young [[Timmy Smith]]. | |||
:"[[Knock-knock joke|Knock knock]]!" | |||
:"Who's there?" | |||
:"Doctor!" | |||
:"[[The Question|Doctor Who]]?" | |||
:"Come along, [[Susan Foreman (The Daft Dimension)|Susan]], into [[The Doctor's TARDIS (The Daft Dimension)|the TARDIS]], hmm?" | |||
He tried the joke out on [[Timmy Smith's friends|his friends]], who did not understand it, having not watched the show the night before. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 584 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 584]]) | |||
