Which Doctor Who episode aired closest to your birth date?

If we count the animated webisodes, then it’s either Shalka or Real Time, if not then it’s Rose and i think Zagreus released the month i was born

And in terms of airing on my birth date, it’s just Last of the Time Lords

I was born three days before Terror of the Zygons part 2 - I can live with that. Love that story!

Horror of Fang Rock part 1 was broadcast on my 2nd birthday!

Night Terrors was broadcast on my 36th birthday.

Also, did you all know this website existed??

I’m one of those pesky fans that was born between the TV movie and Rose, just did the math and I’m about 2 months closer to Rose than the movie! Off the top of my head the only episodes that aired on my birthday are Night of the Doctor(I share a birthday with Paul Mcgann!), Sleep No More, and Once, Upon Time.

Fellow Wilderness Era baby whose closest ‘episode’ is the TV movie.

In terms of other DW releases, the closest is 16th Jan with the following:

And other releases on 14th Jan, with only two being actual televised stories (The Underwater Menace pt1 and Underworld pt2 ). Not a very popular date lol.

Outing how young I am but I am also closest to Rose, born 4 1/2-ish months before it aired. So no exact episode. But here’s the episodes released on the day

I was born during the Wilderness era as well, so the closest episode to my actual birthday is the TVM, however what was released on my birthday but in a different year is one of my all-time favourite episodes, Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS :tada: :tada: :tada:

Ooh if you mean what aired on my birthday

World’s End (Dalek Invasion of Earth part 1) (which my dad said would have been the first ep he remembered)

Face the Raven (Clara Trilogy part 1) (yet it brings Robin Soans in the background just to kill him again! So now instead I want Jack Dylan Grazer as young Luvic)

And Village of the Angels (Flux part 4) who I know much less about

Another wilderness baby here, 594 days before the TV movie. 1.5 year old me would have loved it anyways. The only ep. aired on my birthday was ‘The Witch’s Familiar’. The coolest thing I can say about my birthday is that it’s on The Beatles’s Abbey Road release day :sunglasses:

Just realised being a wilderness baby (with the TV movie being the closest aired DW) = being a millenial. I shall never use the term millenial again.

Now for my dad, also a Who fan, the closest for him is The War Games Episode 10. And my grandma, also a Who fan, predating it by nearly 30 years, An Unearthly Child.
