• 4 February - Studio production concluded on Revelation of the Daleks, with a gallery-only session in TV Centre Studio 5. This concluded Doctor Who production for Season 22.

Production on Doctor Who resumed more than a year later.

September

• 9 September - The BBC launched "Children's BBC", a dedicated block of programming aimed at children. Later rebranded CBBC, beginning in 2007 the block became the broadcast home for the spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures.
