This series introduces the Ninth Doctor (Eccleston)
sometime after the Time
War, which
the Doctor had thought wiped out all of the Time Lords (save himself) and the Daleks. The Doctor meets Rose Tyler (Piper), a
young woman working in a department store in London. After meeting the doctor Rose is
fascinated and decides to joins him in adventures in space and time with
his TARDIS, though her behaviour
worries her mother Jackie (Camille Coduri) and boyfriend Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), particularly after one instance where she goes missing for
twelve months. A bit into their journey the Doctor and Rose's let them meet Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), who was a Time Agent from
the 51st century and also decides to joins their team. During their travels, they are
unaware that the words "Bad Wolf" appear near them on their travels,
such as graffiti written on walls. The Doctor becomes aware of the frequent
reappearance of the word and suspects it is some sign of things to come that is
following them.
In the final episodes of the 1st series, the Doctor, Rose,
and Jack arrive on Satellite Five in Earth's far future, discovering that the
development of humanity has been hindered by the Daleks. The Emperor Dalek
explains it had survived the Time War, and has been creating new Daleks by
harvesting humans the whole time, and now plans to convert the rest of humanity into Daleks.
As the Dalek fleet prepares to attack Earth, the Doctor constructs a Delta Wave
device that will destroy all lifeforms near Earth, including humans, believing
that humanity will survive on via human colonies on other planets. He tricks
Rose into the TARDIS and sends it back to the 21st century to protect her,
while he and Jack organize human forces to protect the satellite until the
Delta Wave can be triggered.
Rose is shocked that the Doctor had sent
her back. However, when she sees the words "Bad Wolf" in graffiti all
around where the TARDIS landed, she takes this as a sign, and tries to open the
Heart of the TARDIS to return to help the Doctor. Jackie and Mickey, seeing her
devotion to the Doctor, help her to do so. Things happen etc. etc. And in the last few minutes of the show the Doctor reveals
to Rose as a Time Lord, he will be able to
regenerate, and soon appears to her as the Tenth Doctor (David
Tennant).
