Beginning to think the new generational divide between millenials and gen z should be “Were you born closer to the DW TV movie airing, or to Rose?” :laughing:

Whilst I was born closer to Rose airing than the film, there isn’t a single episode (classic or modern) that was released actually on my birth date. Expanded my search to the EDAs (nothing), the VNAs (also nothing), until finally finding the BF audio Red, released on the day but some years younger than me (which, after all that, I guess I’m going to have to listen to!)

I cooould count Classic Who stories BUT it’s more fun if I only count story that actually came out on my birthday while you know being alive- on my actual birthday nothing aired because the show was still cancelled BUT on audio Auld Mortality comes pretty damn close. Just 5 days early.

Actual stories aired on my birthday:

Father’s Day
The Doctor’s Wife

BONUS: The Torchwood audio Disco did come out last year on my birthday!
