DR WHO: THE ECCLESTON ERA








The sole survivor of the Last Great Time War, scarred by the terrible things he’d seen and done, the Ninth Doctor was an intense and emotional incarnation. Hiding his psychological trauma behind madcap wit and frivolity, he took Rose Tyler to see the end of the world, inspired Charles Dickens and showed that for once, everybody could live. He was still capable of great cruelty and anger though, killing Cassandra and torturing a lone Dalek into submission. After Rose defeated the Daleks using the power of the time vortex, the Doctor saved her by transferring that dangerous power into his own body. The strain destroyed his every cell and as Rose watched, his body exploded with raging energy

MEMORABLE ALIENS


The family Slitheen are outlawed criminals from the planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius. Wearing skin-suits of the British government, they planned to ruin the Earth and sell it on as rocket fuel. The attempt was foiled when the Doctor, Rose, Mickey and Harriet Jones (MP) diverted missiles into 10 Downing St. Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen was the sole Slitheen survivor, and – wearing the skin of Margaret Blaine - was elected Mayor of Cardiff. Foiling her Blaidd Drwg project, the Doctor caught her and threatened to return her home to her death. After a long negotiation, and taking Rose as a hostage, she stared into the heart of the TARDIS, and was reborn as an egg.


Autons are the living plastic foot-soldiers of a formless entity known as the Nestene Consciousness. Its affinity for and ability to animate plastics has led it to Earth many times, and into conflict with the Doctor. From replacing shop-window dummies and people in positions of authority with Auton replicas to deadly plastic chairs, dolls,daffodils and rubbish bins, the Nestene have attacked humanity in some of the most creative and grisly ways imaginable. 



The Ninth Doctor claimed to have witnessed the destruction of the Nestene homeworld in the Time War, but was unable to save it. As part of the Pandorica Alliance, the Nestene created Auton Romans at Stonehenge – including Rory Williams – from Amy Pond’s memories.



The Ninth Doctor first encountered Cassandra (Lady Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17) on Platform One, a space station orbiting Earth five billion years in the future, which was set up to witness the final destruction of the planet by the expansion of the Sun.



According to Cassandra, her parents were the last to be buried "in its soil". She had been born on Earth and lived on the edge of the "Los Angeles Crevasse". Cassandra referred to herself as being "a boy" during this time. Married several times, her life had been extended through a series of 708 plastic surgery operations, until she was nothing but a piece of skin stretched onto a frame, with eyes and a mouth, connected to a brain in a designer jar filled with a preserving solution below. The skin had to be constantly moisturised to keep it from drying out. As the rest of the human race had long since either interbred with other intelligent species or altered themselves to the point even they don't call themselves human anymore (references are made to 'New Humans', 'Proto-humans' and 'Digi-humans'), Cassandra considered herself the last "pure" human, and all others as 'mongrels'. Rose Tyler, who was quickly turned off by her arrogance, characterised her as a "bitchy trampoline" and referred to her as "Michael Jackson".



Cassandra used spider-like robots to sabotage Platform One's computer systems and the android Adherents of the Repeated Meme to direct attention away from herself. Her original intent was to create the appearance of a hostage situation and collect the ransom and insurance money to fund further surgical procedures. When that was exposed by the Doctor, she teleported off the station, leaving the others to die — both eliminating the evidence and allowing a hostile takeover of the guests' financial holdings.



However, the Doctor reset Platform One's systems, saving the station, and also reversed the teleportation feed, bringing Cassandra back. In the heat, and without her assistants to moisturise her, Cassandra's skin stretched and exploded, apparently killing her (although her brain was not seen to be destroyed)



Blind and connected to Satellite Five feeds at the age of five by dozens of cables, the Controller acted as the eyes and ears of the Daleks. Aided by programmers, she constantly monitored the transmissions that flowed through her.  Essentially, she served a function similar to the Editor's for the Jagrafess a century before, who also had occupied Floor 500 of the satellite, though the Controller had less say over her actions.




Nevertheless, the Controller loathed and plotted against the Daleks, ensuring that the Ninth Doctor and his companions would appear in game shows on Satellite Five (now called the Game Station), which the Daleks ignored. She waited until a rare solar flare temporarily disrupted communications between the Dalek fleet and her....


The Daleks could not monitor her thoughts, letting her warn the Ninth Doctor of the enemy "waiting in the dark". She then passed on to him the co-ordinates of Rose Tyler, enabling him to rescue her, though she did not at that point reveal to the Doctor and his allies the identity of her "masters".....The Controller told him part of the coordinates (5.6.1.434. sigma 777) before she was transmatted to the main Dalek saucer, where the Daleks exterminated her


 the Doctor and his companion Rose  arrive in 1941 during the London Blitz, where they find that the city has been terrorised by a strange child in a gas mask repeatedly asking for his mother.....The Empty Child "plague" was a technological plague which spread around a part of London in 1941. The Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler encountered the Empty Child and helped play a part in its cure

TARDIS OCCUPANTS


Trapped by Autons in the basement of Henrik's department store, shop assistant Rose Tyler’s life is saved by a chance encounter with the Doctor. When her heroism leads to the defeat of the Nestene, he invites her to travel with him – taking her from Victorian Cardiff to the day the Earth died. And although travelling with the Doctor was often dangerous, she told him she’d stay with him forever. Witnessing the Ninth Doctor’s regeneration only made that bond stronger. However, during the Battle of Canary Wharf they were separated – trapped on parallel worlds. Using a Dimension Cannon she attempted to make contact with the Doctor (and new companion Donna) several times, eventually encountering him as he was exterminated by a Dalek. Once healed and the Daleks defeated, he returned Rose to the parallel world with her family and the half-human version of himself, to live the rest of their lives together.


On-off boyfriend of Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith was drawn into the Doctor’s world when he was captured and replicated by the Nestene Consciousness. When Rose vanished for a year with the Doctor, Mickey was questioned over her disappearance. Despite this, and getting called “Mickey the Idiot”, he helped the Doctor and Rose defeat the Slitheen, Sycorax and Krillitanes. He opted to remain in the parallel “Pete’s World” when he discovered that the parallel version of the Grandmother who raised him was a still alive. From there, he assisted Pete and Jake rid their world of Cybermen, before jumping realities and fighting the Battle of Canary Wharf. After a period of living in that world with the Tylers, he returned to his original Earth, where he married Martha Jones.


Time Agent. Torchwood Leader. Poster Boy for the Boeshane Peninsula. Over his (very) long life, Captain Jack Harkness has been many things. First meeting the Doctor and Rose in 1940s London, he helped defeat the reanimated “Empty Child” and the Slitheen, before being exterminated by the Daleks on the Game Station. Revived and made immortal by Rose Tyler after she’d absorbed the power of the Time Vortex, Jack travelled back to 1869, where his vortex manipulator burned out. Forced to live through the twentieth century, he joined Torchwood in Cardiff, knowing the Doctor would return one day to refuel on the rift. Following the TARDIS to the end of universe, Jack faced the Master, and then Davros and his Dalek crucible, as well as battling many evils on Earth with Torchwood.


Jackie Tyler is the mother of Rose Tyler, a travelling companion of the alien time traveller the Doctor. ....Jackie is a widow who lives alone with her daughter Rose until Rose leaves her mundane life behind to travel through time and space with the Doctor. Jackie's feeling of loss and of being left behind is explored in subsequent episodes. As Jackie is brought into danger by her proximity to the Doctor, she resents his influence over Rose. However, once he undergoes a regeneration, effectively becoming a new man, Jackie has a more cordial relationship with him. After the battle of Canary Wharf, along with Rose, sees them living in a parallel universe where Jackie forms a new relationship with an alternate version of her deceased husband.
