 A scene from the first episode of Series 10, "The Pilot" (premiered in Australia on 16 April 2017) was shot near Circular Quay, Sydney; the first "Doctor Who" scene shot in Australia.Since some states differed in their school holiday dates, the ABC had no alternative but to have multiple copies of some of the early 16mm format episodes for different states.Hence it was hoped by fans in the 1990s that copies of episodes deemed lost by the BBC might yet be found in Australia, having been mis-shelved in the various state based offices of the ABC.
