Doctor Who Series 1 Vol 2

Starring: Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper, Penelope Wilton, Camille Coduri.

Directed by: Keith Boak, Joe Ahearne

This volume contains the next three episodes from the 2005 series of ‘Doctor Who’. 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 (Billie Piper) 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…

Adventures featured on this disc –

‘Aliens Of London’ – The Doctor takes Rose home. But when a spaceship crash lands in the Thames, London is closed off and the whole world is on Red Alert. While the Doctor investigates the alien survivor, Rose discovers that her home is no longer a safe haven. Who are the Slitheen?

‘World War Three’ – Downing Street announces mankind’s first Interplanetary War. But the real danger is much closer to home. The Doctor, Rose and Harriet Jones race against time to unmask the villainous Slitheen, but only Rose’s boyfriend and mum hold the key to salvation. Can the missiles be stopped?

‘Dalek’ – Beneath the Salt Plains of Utah, the billionaire collector Henry Van Statten holds the last relic of an alien race. When the Doctor and Rose investigate, they discover that the Doctor’s oldest and most deadly enemy is about to break free. It’s a fight to the death, with Rose caught in the middle.
