Penblwydd hapus Tony, a
much valued member of Project: Torchwood, you celebrate your birthday with The
Master himself, Derek Jacobi an actor has surprised me during a recent search
on Wikipedia as providing the narration for ‘In the Night Garden’, a nightly
show on CBeebies.
On
this day in 1966, Episode 3 of The Tenth Planet was broadcast. It was Season
4 and starred William Hartnell who ended his tenure as the Doctor and
regenerated into the 2nd Doctor, Patrick Troughton. With companions Michael Craze and Anneke
Wills. Writers were Kit Pedlar and Gerry
Davis, Director was Derek Martinus.

John Leeson (providing voice of K-9).

On
this day in 2006, Episodes ‘Everything Changes’ and ‘Day One’ were broadcast. It was Season
1 of Torchwood and we saw an insight of the Institute based in Cardiff,
having only been loosely introduced to it in the Doctor Who episodes from Tooth
and Claw to Donna Noble’s date with the Racnoss. WPC Gwen Cooper led us into the world of
alien creatures and life beneath the surface of Cardiff, where anything goes,
and everything is above the law of the land.
We were introduced to
Captain Jack Harkness, who finally fits into that Great coat he looked far too
small for in ‘An Empty Child’, Dr. Owen Harper, Ianto Jones, Toshiko Sato, and
Suzie Costello, who although shot herself at the end of ‘Everything Changes’
was brought back to life in a later episode. We’re introduced to a gas alien
living in the host body of Carys Fletcher, who goes on a killing spree in order
to survive.
Writer for ‘Everything
Changes’ was Russell T Davies, Writer for ‘Day One’ was Chris Chibnall, with Brian
Kelly as Director for both.
Others
with their birthday today are:
Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Franz Liszt (1811-1886),
Bob Odenkirk and Plan B.
Have an awesome day from
everyone at Project: Torchwood
