Patrick Troughton, the first actor to inherit the lead role of Doctor Who from another actor (and still one of the best-loved incarnations of the time-traveling Doctor), dies at the age of 67 on the second day of a science fiction convention in Columbus, Georgia. Despite worries about a persistent heart condition (he had already suffered heart attacks in 1978 and 1984), Troughton had made the trip to America against his doctor’s advice, suffering a fatal third heart attack after breakfast. His final TV appearance, the series Knights Of God, will air later in the year, having actually been filmed in 1985.

Reeltime Pictures releases the first professionally-produced Doctor Who fan production direct to VHS, War Time, starring John Levene as Sgt. Benton of UNIT and Michael Wisher. By not directly referencing the Doctor, the production is able to separately license the character of Benton and thus legally sell the video.
