PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Chronology:
S.1, Special (X-Mas Invasion), S.2, Special (Runaway Bride), S.3

SERIES 1.

Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave.
An alien and a loner (it's difficult keeping up with friends when your day job involves flitting through time and space), his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world's in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That's why he needs new assistant Rose. Rose is a shop-girl from the present day. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soulmates. They understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination. She starts out as an innocent, unfettered by worldly concerns. But she ends up an adventurer who, by the end of the series, can never go home again...

Doctor Who Special - The Christmas Invasion
In the scary one hour special, Christmas becomes a time of terror on planet Earth, as the whole of mankind falls under the shadow of the sinister alien Sycorax.

SERIES 2.
David Tennant steps into the role of the Doctor for the second series of Doctor Who. Following the phenomenal success of the first series that took British television by storm in 2005, the second instalment is full of new thrills, new laughs, new heartbreak and some terrifying new monsters. The Doctor and Rose meet Queen Victoria, a werewolf, an evil race of Cat Women and the dreaded Cybermen.

Doctor Who Special - The Runaway Bride
No sooner has the Doctor said a tear-stained farewell to Rose Tyler than he finds himself face-to-face with a woman, played by comedian Catherine Tate, dressed in a fluffy white wedding frock. Who is she? Who is she supposed to be marrying? And how did she get on board the TARDIS?

SERIES 3.
From the moment the Doctor walks into the life of medical student Martha Jones, he changes it forever. In Elizabethan London, they meet William Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre while back in present day London 76-year-old Professor Lazarus recaptures his youth with consequences that threaten Martha's entire family. And, the Doctor's sworn enemies, the Daleks, who have been hiding in 1930s New York, return with a terrifying plan for humanity.
