Which episode was airing closest to your birth date?

For me, it was Dimensions in Time. If we don’t count that, it’d be The TV Movie.

I belong to a pretty big group of people for whom that is Rose. If we’re getting into other releases though, there’s actually Daemos Rising (from Reeltime) which was released the same day I was born.

What is infinitely cooler to me though, given that I am so in love with Gallifrey, is that the very first episode, Weapon of Choice, was released the same month I was born!

That would be the TV Movie. I was born in March 1996, and it aired in May.

Edit: and the novels SLEEPY and The English Way of Death were published three days after my birth.

Closest one for me would be The Twin Dilemma :grimacing:

I was born between seasons 21 and 22 but closer to Twin than Attack.

all of us born in the 90’s are going to have similar answers, i think… tv movie for me, but not because i was born too close to when it aired.
