28 February

On February 28 1981, the Fourth Doctor and Adric landed the TARDIS by the side of a motorway to measure a police box. Air hostess Tegan Jovanka stumbled aboard the TARDIS on her way to work at London's Heathrow Airport. (TV: Logopolis, PROSE: Divided Loyalties)

The TARDIS instead landed on a space ship, where the Fifth Doctor and Adric find Urbankans and human androids. The Doctor saved the Earth from the leader of the Urbankans, Monarch, who had planned to poison Humanity in order to steal equipment needed to travel in time. Having decided they would no longer have any place on Earth, the androids decided to pilot the ship to a new world and continue their lives there. (TV: Four to Doomsday)
