SPECIAL: THE CHRISTMAS INVASION
- Jackie Tyler is at home preparing for the festive season, unsure of whether or
not her daughter Rose will be home in time, when she hears the familiar sound
of the TARDIS. Mickey, who is hard at work, also hears it. They both race
across the estate, just in time to witness its glorious, chaotic crash-landing.
The doors open and, much to their delight, out steps Rose - and a complete
stranger. Except it isn't a stranger; it's the Doctor. Disorientated, yet
overwhelmed to see them, he takes a few minutes to regain his balance and
considers what it is he wants to tell them, before yelling: "Oh, I know! Merry
Christmas!" Then promptly collapses. The Doctor falls in and out of
consciousness, with Rose and Jackie powerless to help him. In a bid to boost
Rose's spirits, Mickey suggests a spot of Christmas shopping, but they soon
find themselves under attack by a sinister brass band of masked Santas. They
are not the only ones with problems. Prime Minister Harriet Jones has just been
informed that a British space probe, on its way to Mars for a Christmas Day
landing, has gone missing. It has been kidnapped by a monstrous race known as
the Sycorax, who are set on taking over the world. Meanwhile, back at the
Tylers', Mickey and Jackie try to fend off a killer Christmas tree, while Rose
tries to wake the Doctor.
