Recently I have been watching Doctor Who since the first episode (from 1963), and have found it interesting how many episodes they have going back in time to some historical events, such as:
Marco Polo
The Aztecs (15th Century)
The Reign of Terror (French Revolution)
The Romans (Nero & Burning of Rome)
The Crusade (12th century Palestine, during the time of the Third Crusade)
The Time Meddler (1066 South England - Viking raids)
The Myth Makers (Trojan War)
The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve (Prior to the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, France, 1572)
The Gunfighters (Gunfight at the O.K. Corral)
That's all from the first 3 series (at least all that I have watched).
I had thought about this post after watching "The Massacure of St. Bartholomew's Eve" since it was an event I had not heard of. However, it was watching "The Gunfighters" that made me decide to post this, since it reminded me of the Star Trek episode: "Spectre of the Gun" which was also a take on the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
