In '''1965''', major riots occurred in [[Prague]], [[Harlem]], and [[Detroit]]. The riot in Prague was caused by a person with [[psychic power]]s designed by the [[Soviet Union]] to provoke extreme emotions in people. Group Captain [[Ian Gilmore]] and Professor [[Rachel Jensen]] believed that the same was true of the violence in Harlem and Detroit but had no proof of that.

According to one account, [[Clive Finch]] was born in this year, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Persistence of Memory (short story)|The Persistence of Memory]]'') though another suggests his birth was [[1961|five years prior]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'')
At some point in '''1965''', the [[British government]] was contacted by an [[alien]] race dubbed [[the 456]]. They demanded a dozen children in exchange for an anti-virus to an [[influenza]] outbreak that would otherwise killed millions. [[Jack Harkness]] of the [[Torchwood Institute]] was ordered to deliver a busload of children from an orphanage in [[Scotland]]. One child, [[Clem McDonald]], escaped and ended up on the run, destined to spend the next forty-five years in asylums. With the children delivered, the anti-virus was provided and the flu outbreak was quelled. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day One]]'', ''[[Children of Earth: Day Four]]'')

* In an [[alternate timeline|alternative timeline]] in which [[Nazi]] [[Germany]] won [[World War II]] as a result of the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] accidentally leaving laser technology in [[Colditz Castle]] in [[October]] [[1944]], [[Elizabeth Klein]] travelled back in time to Colditz during that incident using the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|Doctor's TARDIS]]. She was assisted in making the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] operational by a fellow scientist named [[Johann Schmidt]], who was in actuality an alternative version of the [[Eighth Doctor]]. Schmidt fabricated a "flight log" for the TARDIS to allow Klein to pilot the ship back to any of its recent destinations and manipulated her into travelling to 1944 on the pretext of retrieving the Seventh Doctor so that he could teach her to pilot the TARDIS. Her lover Major [[Jonas Faber]] saw through Schmidt's trickery but was too late as Klein had already decided to disobey his orders and make the trip into the past. She left her lover behind, promising to make him Führer by her efforts. Unfortunately for Klein, her arrival in October 1944 alerted the Seventh Doctor to the impending alteration of history and he and Ace were able to prevent it. Klein was stranded in the proper timeline. Believing her mistake had destroyed the correct version of history, she vowed to get the TARDIS back and restore her world.

The record was reissued with the offending sound scrambled.

In 1965, major riots occurred in Prague, Harlem, and Detroit. The riot in Prague was caused by a person with psychic powers designed by the Soviet Union to provoke extreme emotions in people. Group Captain Ian Gilmore and Professor Rachel Jensen believed that the same was true of the violence in Harlem and Detroit but had no proof of that. (AUDIO: Peshka)

In December, the Tenth Doctor and Heather McCrimmon materialised in Norway. They encountered a herd of Capranoms that were eating the forest. They lured all of the Capranoms to one area using a plastic tree and made a deal with the Capranom herder. The herder waited until after Christmas, when there were piles of leftover Christmas trees, to feed his Capranoms. (COMIC: The Goats of Christmas Past)

On 25 December, the Doctor's TARDIS materialised in the yard of a police station in Liverpool, its scanner malfunctioning. After some initial fears the polluted atmosphere of the 20th century might harm his companions Steven Taylor and Sara Kingdom, who had grown up in the clean air of the future, and some trouble with the local police, the First Doctor repaired the scanner and the TARDIS departed. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan)

Undated events

Captain Jack during 1965

Jack Harkness delivers the children to the 456. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Four)

An alien race designated the 456 came to Earth to offer the human race the anti-virus to a new strain of Spanish influenza which would wipe out millions of lives, in exchange for twelve children, to be harvested for certain chemicals that gave the 456 an equivalent of a high from Earth narcotics. The British government and the Torchwood Institute chose Clement McDonald and eleven others from the Holly Tree Lodge orphanage, believing that that no one would miss them, and so kept the act a secret. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Four) One of the chosen children was actually a de-aged Time Agent named Scott Thrower. (COMIC: Time Fraud) After arriving in a secluded location, Captain Jack Harkness drove them to a white light, and guided them from there. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Four) Clem, however, managed to escape. He was chased for several miles until the 456 decided to stop. (TV: Children of Earth: Day One)

After visiting the Det-Sen Monastery, Travers also began a long journey to London. Upon arriving there after a few months of travel, Travers realised that his future self was living there. To prevent disrupting time, Travers moved to the Great Intelligence's secondary target, New York City, and established himself as the owner of Ebon Books. (PROSE: Times Squared)

A Maker crash landed on a beach in England. Alec Redshaw and Sandra McBride rescued it and tended its wounds. In gratitude, the Maker transported them and several others to a futuristic city on an planetoid in 2993. (PROSE: The Space Age)

Alternate timeline

In an alternate timeline in which Nazi Germany won World War II as a result of the Seventh Doctor and Ace accidentally leaving laser technology in Colditz Castle in October 1944, Elizabeth Klein travelled back in time to Colditz during that incident using the Doctor's TARDIS. She was assisted in making the TARDIS operational by a fellow scientist named Johann Schmidt, who was in actuality an alternative version of the Eighth Doctor. Schmidt fabricated a "flight log" for the TARDIS to allow Klein to pilot the ship back to any of its recent destinations and manipulated her into travelling to 1944 on the pretext of retrieving the Seventh Doctor so that he could teach her to pilot the TARDIS.

Her lover Major Jonas Faber saw through Schmidt's trickery but was too late as Klein had already decided to disobey his orders and make the trip into the past. She left her lover behind, promising to make him Führer by her efforts. Unfortunately for Klein, her arrival in October 1944 alerted the Seventh Doctor to the impending alteration of history and he and Ace were able to prevent it. Klein was stranded in the proper timeline. Believing her mistake had destroyed the correct version of history, she vowed to get the TARDIS back and restore her world. (AUDIO: Colditz, Klein's Story)
