* [[23 November]] - ''[[Doctor Who]]'' debuted on UK television with the first broadcast of episode 1 of [[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'' (which was also entitled "An Unearthly Child"). A few parts of the UK were unable to view the episode due to a power cut. Due to the events of the previous day, however, a franchise legend later emerged suggesting that news coverage of the assassination of Kennedy and/or subsequent killing of suspect Lee Harvey Oswald was the reason for the broadcast disruption; this was not the case. The first episode aired between a sports broadcast and a puppet series called ''The Telegoons''. "The Medicine Men", an episode of ''The Avengers'' – also created by [[Sydney Newman]] – aired the same day.* [[30 November]] - "An Unearthly Child" ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'' Episode 1) was broadcast for the second time as many viewers had missed the original screening as a result of a power cut; this was the first and for many years the only rebroadcast of a ''Doctor Who'' episode. The rebroadcast was followed by the first broadcast of "The Cave of Skulls".
