12 October

12 October was the birthday of two of the Doctor's companions: Izzy in 1979 (COMIC: TV Action!) and Hex in 1998. (AUDIO: The Harvest, Thicker than Water, Project: Destiny)

In 1940, at 8:47 PM, the New Regency Theatre in London, which was owned and operated by the late Henry Gordon Jago in the 1890s, was destroyed in the Blitz. (AUDIO: Swan Song)

Meanwhile, in 1979, Beep the Meep travelled to a parallel universe, in which the Doctor's universe existed only as part of a BBC science fiction television series called Doctor Who, and took control of the BBC Television Centre. The Eighth Doctor and his companion Izzy Sinclair defeated Beep with the help of the actor Tom Baker, who infuriated him with his endless rambling. Strangely, Baker both physically resembled the Fourth Doctor and played him on the television series. The Doctor learned the truth when he discovered the first issue of Doctor Who Weekly.
