Rose Tyler is just an ordinary shop worker living an ordinary life in
21st century Britain. But that life is turned upside down when a strange
man calling himself The Doctor drags her into an alien invasion
attempt!
Rose goes off on her first adventure with the Doctor who takes her 5
billion years into the future to view a cataclysmic event: the
destruction of the Earth. They're on an orbiting space platform with a
groups of invited guests who seem to travel from one cataclysmic event
to another. There are uninvited guests as well in the form of
spider-like mechanical robots that seem to multiply at will and are
obviously bent on causing destruction. The spiders soon dispose of the
Steward and gain control of the orbiting platform's mainframe. It
doesn't take long for the Doctor ...
Summary: The Doctor has great expectations for his latest adventure when he and
Rose join forces with Charles Dickens to investigate a mysterious plague
of zombies.
The Doctor returns Rose to her own time - well, sort of - but her family
reunion is ruined when a spaceship crashes in the middle of London.
What is the origin of the spaceship, and where has the Prime Minister
gone in this time of crisis?
The fiendish Slitheen have been unmasked as the ones who crashed the
spaceship into London as part of a ruse to trigger World War Three. But
how can The Doctor save the planet when he's trapped inside a locked
room?
The Doctor and Rose travel to the year 2012 and land in a museum of
extra-terrestrial objects accumulated by the very wealthy Henry van
Statten. He's an avid collector - the TARDIS lands on the museum's 53rd
floor below ground level - but he's also using alien technology to
develop new weapons from which he derives his large income. He's
particularly proud of one device he's acquired but has not yet been able
to make functional and to the Doctor's horror, it turns out to a very
old and very dangerous enemy from the past.
The Doctor and Rose arrive in the year 200,000 to see The Fourth Great
and Bountiful Human Empire. But something has gone wrong - someone is
holding back the development of mankind. Who could have done this? And
why?
All of her life, Rose's mother told how great a man her father Pete was.
He was killed by a hit and run driver when Rose was just a baby and
among her many regrets was that her father died alone, just lying on the
street. Rose asks the Doctor to take her back to that day. Rather than
just be with him when he dies, she actually saves him and later admits
that this was her plan all along. She soon realizes that her parents'
marriage was not exactly the golden relationship she had claimed it to
be. Far worse however, is that by saving her father, Rose has created a
tear ...
Rose and the Doctor find themselves in 1941 London when the TARDIS
receives an emergency signal from another time-traveling vehicle. While
the Doctor tries to determine where the object may have landed, Rose
goes off in search of a child she can hear calling for help. When she
gets herself into a precarious situation, she's rescued by the rather
handsome RAF Captain Jack Harkness, who owns a time machine of his own.
The Doctor meanwhile meets Nancy who has an interesting way of arranging
meals for homeless children. They are also being chased by the child
Rose heard ...
