| − | *'''5 January 1976''': The standard package of [[Jon Pertwee stories]] debuted in Boston on Monday 5 January, from 7.30 to 8.00pm. The TOPS TODAY and main billings both name the star as "John Pertwee". The main billing for the first episode also offers rather scathing comments about the quality of the BBC's special effects!

| − | *The following week, 12 January, the episode was billed as a 'repeat', but it's not clear if that was actually the case. From 20 January, the series moved to Tuesday. The 10 February entry (the show aired at 8.30pm for this episode only) gives the following synopsis: "Plague spreads to London before Dr Who manages to find antidote", which is for [[Doctor Who and the Silurians]], either episode five or six, depending on whether or not 12 Jan had been a repeat.

We think this might actually be an error, and it was station WTEV that was being referred to.
