=== Clips from Missing episodes ===
=== Clips from missing episodes ===
A [[1973]] instalment of ''Blue Peter'' marking the tenth anniversary of ''Doctor Who'' included many excerpts from the [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]] eras; due to the BBC's then-ongoing practice of junking old episodes, these clips are in many cases the last surviving remnants of these episodes. These include such significant moments as the death of [[Katarina]] in ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' (which was aired on ''Blue Peter'' primarily because it featured then-co-host Peter Purves during his tenure as companion), and the [[regeneration]] of the [[First Doctor]] into the [[Second Doctor|Second]] from ''[[The Tenth Planet]]''.

These clips survived beyond their initial ''Blue Peter'' broadcast thanks to long-time showrunner [[Biddy Baxter]]'s staunch policy of archiving every episode of ''Blue Peter''.

=== Design a monster competitions ===
=== Design a monster competitions ===
''Blue Peter'' has run contests over the years involving ''[[Doctor Who]]''. The design for the [[Abzorbaloff]] from [[2006]]'s ''[[Love & Monsters]]'' originated in a ''Blue Peter'' "design your own monster" competition, won by nine-year-old William Grantham. Contrary to rumour, the [[Kroton]]s did ''not'' originate in a 1967 competition; a design-a-monster competition was held, but the winning design did not appear on the show.
