action

Rose Tyler lives a seemingly normal life with her mother Jackie Tyler, boyfriend Mickey Smith and a job in a London department store. When she went into the basement of the department store one evening, mannequins came to life. A man comes to her aid who only introduces himself as the doctor . He brings her to safety and advises her to move far away from the department store. When she left the building, the top floor exploded. She goes home and asks Mickey to dispose of an arm that she ripped off one of the dolls. The next morning the doctor shows up at Rose's house because the arm's energy signature has brought him to her. After he has rendered it harmless, he disappears again without further explanation.

Fascinated by this stranger, Rose starts looking for him on the Internet. She finds a page that says that the doctor reappears all over the world and in different epochs of human history and disappears again after a short time. Rose meets with the operator of the site, Clive Finch, but doesn't find out more from him than she already knew. Mickey, who drove Rose to Clive, is kidnapped by the plastic beings during their meeting and replaced by one of them.

Rose and the fake Mickey go out to eat after meeting Clive. Here, too, the doctor comes in and takes out the wrong Mickey. Together with Rose and the head of the fake Mickey, the doctor goes to his TARDIS , with which he can scan the head and locate the original signal of the living plastic. With the TARDIS they travel to the London Eye , under which is the Nestene consciousness , which Mickey is still holding hostage. Annoyed by the doctor's arrival, all of London's plastic dolls are awakened. With the help of Rose, the doctor succeeds in administering a liquid to the consciousness that prevents the consciousness from being able to so that the plastic dolls become normal again.

Impressed by Rose's courage, the doctor offers her to travel with him in his TARDIS. After this refuses, he sets off. A moment later, however, he reappears and tells Rose that the TARDIS can not only travel through space but also through time. Rose finally agrees.

background

After Doctor Who was canceled after 26 years of running in 1989 and the television film from 1996 , a co-production with American television, did not result in any new episodes, the BBC announced the resumption in 2003, the 40th anniversary year of Doctor Who the series. At the same time, Russell T Davies was announced as the showrunner . In 2004, Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper were announced as the first doctor / companion team in the new series. In order to enable new viewers who had no contact with the classic series to get started, the representation of the regeneration of the eighth doctor in the ninth was dispensed with. This was only made up for in 2013 in Die Nacht des Doktors (English original title The Night of the Doctor ) and Der Tag des Doktors (English original title The Day of the Doctor ). Also, many other plot elements of the classic series were initially dispensed with, which only found their way back into the series in the course of the next episodes and seasons.
