10 March was a date notable for a number of highly varied events on Earth and in its vicinity.

Events

In 1702, the Fifth Doctor and Vislor Turlough departed London after defeating Sir Nikolas Valentine. (AUDIO: Phantasmagoria)

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first ever telephone call. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)

In 1935, Death in the Clouds, a mystery novel by Agatha Christie, was first published. Although she had forgotten the events of her adventure with the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble in 1926, a subconscious memory of those events inspired her to write this book, which was destined to remain in print to the year 5,000,000,000. A facsimile edition of Death in the Clouds published in this year was obtained by the Doctor. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp)

In 1942, the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams arrived on a sabotaged submarine deep in the North Sea. Gein had sabotaged the ship in order to reach his spaceship, a Class III Bandragian freighter. Instead, the Doctor offered him a lift there in his TARDIS. (COMIC: Sub-species)

In 2005, UNIT released a press briefing warning Internet users of a dangerous computer virus named "RUFFCUT". (PROSE: Computer Virus File Sharing Alert)

In 2957, the Fourth Doctor, Adric and K9 landed on Space Station Alpha in time for the thousandth anniversary of humanity's first journey into space. Genesis III, a supercomputer tasked with finding new places for humanity to colonise, used a Composition Adjustment Teleport to miniaturise scientists and other humans. It created a world for these people that was the size of an atom. However, the Doctor told him the story of Puss in Boots, confusing the computer and rendering it harmless. (PROSE: Inter-Galactic Cat)

Births and deaths

In 5000000053, (PROSE: Judge, Jury and Executioner) the Face of Boe sacrificed his life to liberate the underground population of New New York. (TV: Gridlock)
