In real life, ''Blue Peter'' has had a longtime association with ''[[Doctor Who]]'', being used on many occasions to promote the series and upcoming episodes, monsters, and special events, including the debuts of [[Peter Davison]] and [[Sylvester McCoy]] as they talked about taking up the role of the Doctor. Historically, the series has proven valuable for not only featuring contemporary interviews with actors and behind-the-scenes personnel from the series, but for also providing glimpses into production history. | |||
===Clips from [[Missing episodes]]=== | |||
A [[1973]] installment of ''Blue Peter'' marking the 10th anniversary of ''Doctor Who'' included numerous excerpts from the [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]] eras; due to the BBC's then-ongoing mandate of junking old episodes, these clips are in many cases the last surviving remnants of these episodes. This includes such significant moments from the series as the death of [[Katarina]] in ''[[The Dalek's Master Plan]]'' and the [[regeneration]] of the [[First Doctor]] into the [[Second Doctor|Second]] from ''[[The Tenth Planet]]''. | |||
For many years, the series also had another connection to the franchise in the form of co-host [[Peter Purves]], who appeared on ''Blue Peter'' for many years after his tenure playing [[Steven Taylor]] during the Hartnell era. | For many years, the series also had another connection to the franchise in the form of co-host [[Peter Purves]], who appeared on ''Blue Peter'' for many years after his tenure playing [[Steven Taylor]] during the Hartnell era. | ||
===Design a monster competitions=== | |||
''Blue Peter'' has run a number of contests over the years involving ''[[Doctor Who]]''. The design for the [[Abzorbaloff]] from [[2006]]'s ''[[Love and Monsters]]'' originated from a ''Blue Peter'' "design your own monster" competition. Contrary to rumour, the [[Kroton]]s did ''not'' originate from one of these competitions. | |||
