Prior to July

  • The Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones and Billy Shipton were touched by the Weeping Angels in 2007 and ended up in this time. Working with future information given to him by Sally Sparrow, the Doctor contacted Shipton and the now-elderly Kathy Nightingale to arrange for messages to be passed on to Sparrow in 2007, one of which was a message recorded by the Doctor. (DW: Blink)

July

  • Before 20 July - After spending months on the run, the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Roy feigned capture, while River leapt out of a building to be caught by the TARDIS, continuing their plot to take down the alien whom they would forget about when they turned away. Canton captured one of these creature, who claimed to be of the Silence, and the Doctor interrogated it. The Doctor and River discovered the girl who had contacted Nixon had escaped from the astronaut suit. (DW: Day of the Moon)
  • 20 - Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon. (MA: Who Killed Kennedy) Martha Jones later claimed she and the Tenth Doctor had seen the event four times. (DW: Blink) The Eleventh Doctor secretly attached a video of one of the Silence saying humans should kill them on sight to the broadcast of the Moon landing, causing every person who watched the landings to post-hypnotically attack the Silence. (DW: Day of the Moon)

  • 03 - The final new episode of the original Star Trek series is broadcast in America.
  • 04 - Julie Gardner is born.
  • 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.
