I was actually born on 19/9/63.
"Filming for episode one, An Unearthly Child, took place at Ealing on September 19th. The TARDIS exterior made its first appearance; the design by Peter Brachacki hewed closely to a typical Mackenzie Trench police box. The only actor required was Leslie Bates, who cast the shadow (later revealed to be Kal) seen at the end of the installment. On the 20th, the main castmembers assembled for their first photocall; none of the actors had met prior to this occasion. As became standard throughout the Sixties, a week of rehearsals then culminated in the taping of An Unearthly Child in Studio D on September 27th; Fridays would be the regular recording day for Doctor Who for the next three years."
So, it's still sort of true (I like it anyway). Though it appears it's Pilot#1 not Pilot#2.
I think this means they shot the last scene before the Pilot credits, what you see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PSW-P6xBu0
