Christopher Eccleston takes the role of the time-travelling crusader, who lands on Earth just in time to save a department store worker, named Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), from a horde of marauding mannequins - thus plunging the pair into a desperate battle against a malevolent alien intelligence with the ability to bring plastic to life.

Episode Notes |
| |
Date: 5-6 March 2005
Location: London
| Among the actresses who auditioned for the role of Rose Tyler was Georgia Moffett, the daughter of Peter Davison. Davison played the Fifth Doctor in Doctor Who from 1981 to 1984. Georgia would later go on to play the Doctor's "daughter" Jenny in Series 4, in "The Doctor's Daughter."
| The Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) was present at the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. This would mean that he was the second incarnation of the Doctor to be on Earth on November 22, 1963, as the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) was in London fighting the Daleks in "Remembrance of the Daleks".
| The Nestene Consciousness allegedly mouths "Bad Wolf" at one point.
| According to Clive (Mark Benton), the Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) was present at the eruption of Krakatoa on August 27, 1883 or shortly thereafter. In the Doctor Who episode "Inferno", the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) claimed to have been also present at this event.

Episode Quotes |
| |
The Doctor: (looking at Heat magazine) That won't last. He's gay and she's an alien.
| Rose: If you're alien how comes you sound like you're from the North?
The Doctor: Lots of planets have a North!
| (Rose sees the Doctor being strangled by a Nestene-controlled plastic arm)
Rose: Oh, you men are all the same. Give a man a plastic hand...
| The Doctor: D'you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid, the first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it because everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it -- the turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, the entire planet is hurtling around the Sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me. Clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go...That's who I am. Now forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home.
| The Doctor: (referring to his new appearance) Ah, could've been worse. Look at the ears.
| The Doctor: (to the Nestene consciousness) I fought in the War! I couldn't save your world! I couldn't save any of them!
| The Doctor: Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!

Episode Goofs |
| |
The Nestene Consciousness can only control plastic, not manipulate already created plastic. So when it takes control of the shop dummies, they wouldn't have guns in their wrists already, so there is no way they could have guns in their wrists.
| The Doctor: The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour. And I can feel it.
1,000 miles an hour would be right for the equator, but in London the spin of the Earth is more like 650 miles an hour.
