A Biography of the Doctor

The TARDIS crash-lands on the Powell estate on Christmas Eve, and the Doctor passes out. He is left to recover in Rose's room. Rose, Mickey, and Jackie are attacked by robotic Santas and Christmas trees.

The next morning, there is an alien transmission to Earth and Rose realises that the TARDIS isn't translating for her. Soon afterwards, large numbers of people begin walking, as if hypnotised, to edges of the roofs of nearby tall buildings, and a huge alien spacecraft arrives above London. Rose doesn't know what to do and insists that they take the still-comatose Doctor into the TARDIS and hide in it.

The aliens – the Sycorax – hav detected the TARDIS, and bring it onboard their ship. Rose tries to negotiate peace with the aliens, but fails. Fortunately, some spilt tea revives the Doctor. He exits the TARDIS and discovers that the Sycorax are using blood control to hypnotise humans with an A+ blood group. He challenges their leader to a personal combat, with Earth as the prize. He wins, despite losing a hand (which regrows because it is so soon after his regeneration).

The Sycorax transport the TARDIS and its occupants back to Earth before leaving. Prime Minister Harriet Jones, however, orders Torchwood to fire a secret weapon that destroys the ship. The Doctor decides to bring down her government with six words whispered to her right hand man "don't you think she looks tired". He then chooses some clothes from the TARDIS, picking a brown suit and long coat, before having Christmas dinner with Rose, Jackie, and Mickey.

After escaping from some angry Lombards, the Doctor and Rose return to the Powell Estate. When the Doctor steps out of the TARDIS, the TARDIS jumps a time track with Rose still in it, and the Doctor spends a few days staying with Mickey. During this stay, he masks Earth from a passing Bandrigan Fleet, so they don't attack the planet.

Mickey takes the Doctor, Rose, and Jackie to the British Museum, where he's found a statue of Rose dating from Roman times. The Doctor and Rose go back in time to investigate. They meet a famous sculptor, who is turning people to stone, and does so to Rose. He is given the cure, a phial of green liquid. He brings all the other “statues” back to life, but cannot find Rose. He returns to the British Museum, discovers that the Rose there is an actual statue.

He spends a few months learning how to sculpt with Michaelangelo, making the statue in the first place. He then returns to ancient Rome before he left. He finds and cures Rose and discovers that the culprit is a wish-gtranting machine from the future. He is briefly petrified, but Rose wishes for the cure. They then go to Rome, where Rose anonymously gives him the phial.

The TARDIS is damaged by an EMP pulse caused by the zeg, which affects an entire solar system, and shuts down whilst it's there. The system is a mining colony using steam-powered technology. The Doctor and Rose get mixed up in a quest to find the treasure of fabled space pirate Hamlek Glint, whose ship disappeared whilst heading towards the zeg. The only bit of treasure that remains on the ship is the resurrection casket, a device that returns somebody to infancy. The Doctor leaves it in the hands of Jimm, a young boy who is actually the de-aged pirate.

Rose says she fancies an ice cream, so the Doctor takes her to Milan, 1925. Whilst they are there, the city is consumed by a time wave, and transformed into a lifeless futurist city, with only the Doctor, Rose, local girl Altea, and a time-displaced Roman soldier left. They travel back to the soldier's native 3rd Century. They encounter Altea's futurist boyfriend, who has teamed up with extra-dimensional aliens called the Hajor to impose his vision on the world. They are defeated when the soldier – who is also connected to the Hajor – banishes them to their own realm.

The Doctor thinks the TARDIS has landed on the moon, but it turns out to be England. He discovers that a dead Dalek has been dug up at a nearby archaeological dig. The Dalek had seeded some Dalek Factor into the human population, and uses a woman who still has it to bring itself back. The Doctor ultimately defeats it by giving it a booby-trapped time ring. He then goes back in time to ensure that an archaeologist he met can meet his wife ten years earlier.The Doctor thinks the TARDIS has landed on the moon, but it turns out to be England.

The Doctor drops Rose off at an Abba concert at Wembley in 1979.

The TARDIS lands on Vanezia, where the Doctor destroys a machine that was leaching the music out of peoples' minds. In the process, he causes talentless musician Fred Gobbo to absorb the drained music and become one of the greatest musicians who ever lived.

The TARDIS lands on an abandoned spaceship about 3,000 years in the future. It has an 18th Century French fireplace - the other side of which is in 18th Century France. The Doctor talks to Reinette - the little girl whose fireplace it is. He travels to France via this time window, arriving months later. He discovers something hiding under her bed - it wants Reinette, but she is "not yet complete" and flees back into the spaceship. He follows the robot back, and discovers that it is made of clockwork.

He finds Returning to Reinette, he finds her grown up and discovers that she is Madame du Pompadour. He then discovers another time window to her life, just after she met King Louis for the first time. It turns out that the clockwork robots were trying to repair their ship but didn't have the parts, so used the crew instead. It and its fellows are after one last part, and want Madame Pompadour's brain. They believe that her brain will only be compatible at the age of 37, when she will be the same age as the ship.

The Doctor returns to the ship well after the robot has run back there to find that the robots have opened a portal to a time when Reinette is 37. Rose finds a window when she is 32 and warns her of the danger. The Doctor finds the window the robots have gone through and crashes through it, disabling all the time windows. He then convinces the robots that their plan will not work without a way back, and they shut themselves down.

Reinette then shows the Doctor that she has moved the original fireplace to Versailles. He realises that it broke before he destroyed the time windows and that he can repair it to get back to the ship. He does so, checks up on Rose and Mickey, and then goes back to Reinette - who he promised to take to the stars. However, he arrives back in Versailles just as her coffin is leaving the palace, and the King gives him a note from Reinette.

The Doctor asks Mickey to hold down a particular TARDIS control. After thirty minutes of joking with Rose he says that Mickey can take his hand off it now. When he does the Time Vortex just disappears and the TARDIS lands on a parallel Earth. Without access to energy from the real universe, the TARDIS dies. The Doctor finds a working fuel cell,which he can recharge at the cost of 10 years of his life. It will, however, take 24 hours to fully charge up.

The alternative London has Zepplins in the sky, and Rose's father is still alive and on advertising hoardings. Rose's phone automatically connects to the Cybus Network. She discovers that her alternative parents are still married but never had children. They note that most people have earpieces which download things from Cybus Network. Mickey goes to visit his gran, who died five years ago in the real universe and gets kidnapped by a group called the Preachers run by his alternative self (called Ricky). They don't have earplugs, and consider themselves almost a resistance movement.

The Doctor and Rose go to visit Pete and Jackie at Jackie's birthday party, posing as a waiter and waitress. A group of Cybermen - only just created by John Lumic, a genius who runs the Cybus Corporation - arrive at the party, kill the President of Great Britain, and announce their intention to convert the guests. The Doctor, Rose, and Pete all escape into the gardens just as Ricky's group prepare to attack the Cybermen. Both groups are surrounded by Cybermen, who are immune to bullets. The Doctor attempts to surrender, but the Cybermen say that they will instead be "deleted".

The Doctor tries to take Rose to see Elvis in the late 50s, but ends up in London 1953, the day before the coronation of Elizabeth II. They arrive in a street where everybody already has a television. They discover that people are losing their faces as the result of a creature called "the wire" which has been living inside the TVs. Rose is affected by the wire. The owner of the local electronics shop intends to attach the wire to the Alexandra Palace transmitter, where it will be able to feed on the millions who will be watching the coronation. The doctor intervenes, trapping the wire inside a betamax video cassette. This restores all of its victims.

The crew blockade themselves from the Ood and the Captain suggests Strategy 9 emptying the oxygen from all but a small portion of the base, thus killing all the Ood. The Beast taunts the crew with knowledge of their dark secrets and traps the Doctor in the centre.

Rose and the crew incapacitate the Ood and abandon the base. The Doctor drops further down, arriving in the Beast's prison. He realises that the Beast's intelligence is onboard the spacecraft whilst its body remains in the planet. Fortunately Rose manages to shoot Toby – who is still possessed – into space. The Doctor then finds the TARDIS and saves the ship. He doesn't, however, have time to save the Ood.

The TARDIS arrives in London, 2012, for the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. The children in Dame Kelly Holmes Close have gone missing over the last week or so. Whilst investigating, Rose is attacked by a scribble creature made of graphite. The cause of both is a girl names Chloe, whose drawings can become living things. The Doctor uses his telepathic abilities to speek to an entity that is possessing her. It is Isolus - a member of a telepathic species which travels through space in packs of billions. They desperately need each other and use their ionic abilities to literally create fantasy worlds. Chole draws the Doctor him, taking him out of reality.

Rose finds the Isolus pod, which needs heat. The drawing of the Doctor shows her that it also needs flame, and it just happens that the Olympic torchbearer is running past. Rose chucks the pod into the flame, allowing the Isolus to return to its brothers and sisters and brings all the drawings back to life. The torchbearer stumbles and falls, so the Doctor picks up the torch and completes the run.
