The bot is now emplacing the template, which at least partially obviates the need for specific mentions on day of the year pages. If people really wanna know when The Ark in Space debuted in their neck of the woods, they just have to go to The Ark in Space (TV story).

I disagree that we need to make mention of things like The Aztecs in the day of the year pages. It's not particularly notable — from the perspective of the day of the year page — that an audience of under a million got to see the serial in the US in 2013. It's notable enough to put on The Aztecs, of course, but it hardly makes the particular day of the year noteworthy.

The Five Doctors and the TV movie are somewhat special cases in that the technical global premiere were on local TV stations. These should be noted, and then the generally accepted global premieres should be noted on the appropriate day page for those events.

However, we shouldn't use the day pages to note the British premieres of the TVM, Miracle Day, K9 or anything else that quite clearly did not premiere in the UK. That information can be on the story page, of course, but in order to avoid clutter on day pages, only the global premiere should be recognised (with, again, the special exceptions of Five and the TVM).

And Baziel's BBCA point is well taken.
