August 26, 1991 - the very first 'Doctor Who' episode to be taped is finally transmitted! Recorded in 1963, this version of Doctor Who's first episode was left unbroadcast after Sydney Newman requested for it to be re-recorded following his dissatisfaction with it. 28 years later, it was allowed to be seen by fans for the first time on BBC Two as part of a series of programmes to commemorate the closure of Lime Grove Studios

A number of things were changed between the original pilot and the original broadcast version including performances (a softer Doctor and a less alien Susan), dialogue (mention of the Doctor and Susan being from the 49th century was altered to them coming from "another time, another place") and design elements (Susan has a different costume)
