The Doctor seeking to show Rose an unusual event, takes her to the end of the Earth, literally. He takes her forward in time to the impending destruction of the Earth due to the Earth’s sun impending super nova billions of years in the future.

They land on a specially designed orbital spacecraft that hosts “end of the world” events. All appears normal until strange robot spiders start causing mayhem.

The robot spiders imperil all onboard the orbiting spacecraft, and it’s up to the Doctor to set things straight and find out who onboard is in control of these malicious robots. He must solve this dilemma quickly or a trapped Rose,the rest of the guests, and himself, die along with the Earth in the sun’s death.

  Episode Quotes  
The Doctor: Everything has its time and everything dies.
 
(A jukebox is wheeled out)
Cassandra: And here, another rarity. According to the archives, this was called an "i-Pod." It stores classical music from humanity's greatest composers. Play on!
(Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" starts to play)
 
Cassandra: (repeated line) Moisturize me!
 
The Doctor: You lot. You spend all your time thinking about dying, like you're going to get killed by eggs, or beef, or global warming, or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible. That maybe you survive. This is the year Five billion...and today is, hold on...This is the day the sun expands. (grins) Welcome to the end of the world
 
The Doctor: You think it'll last forever. The people, and cars, and concrete. But it won't. Then one day it's all gone. Even the sky.
 
The Doctor: There was a war. And we lost. I'm a Time Lord. I'm the last of the Time Lords. I'm left travelling on my own cause there's no one else.
 
Jabe: Then stop wasting time...Time Lord.
 
Jabe: Perhaps a man only enjoys danger when there's nothing else left. When you came aboard my scanners identified your species. It's remarkable you even exist.
 
  Episode Goofs
