* [[17 February]] - [[TV]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'' Part 5 was first broadcast. Twenty-three minutes into transmission, the episode went off the air for approximately twenty seconds due to a technical fault on the playback equipment. BBC continuity apologised to the viewers for the breakdown in transmission, displaying a ''TEMPORARY FAULT'' caption slide and playing music, "Gotcha" by Tom Scott, until the fault was rectified. When the episode restarted, the videotape had been slightly rewound so there was a repeat of the action immediately prior to the break. | * [[17 February]] - [[TV]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'' Part 5 was first broadcast.
