Behind the scenes
This was one of very few instances in which an old series Doctor Who television story, namely part one of Logopolis, took place on the same day as its broadcast: 28 February 1981. Another such example is 16 July 1966. The new series had three such occurrences: 22 April 2011, 26 June 2010 and 25 December 2009.
