When the new series of Doctor Who begins on ABC TV on Saturday May 21 at 7.30 pm, Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) is preparing to leave the department store where she works when she is asked to deliver a parcel to the store's electrician in the basement. The electrician is nowhere to be seen and Rose finds herself locked in a room with store dummies. Slowly, one of the dummies begins to move towards her and when all of the dummies begin to menace her she realizes she is in big trouble.

Rose is rescued by a mysterious man who tells her that the dummies are Autons, living plastic operated by a relay device in the roof of the store. The stranger says that he is "The Doctor" (Christopher Eccleston). "Nice to meet you Rose. Run for your life," he tells her as he battles one of the Autons. Rose flees the building just before it erupts in a terrible explosion. Soon, after another encounter with the Doctor, she meets Clive (Mark Benton), a strange geek who tells her, "If the Doctor's making house-calls, then God help you."

Rose thinks Clive is a weirdo but soon, when drawn to the lair of the Nestene Consciousness with The Doctor, she realises that her mum, Jackie (Camille Coduri), her boyfriend, Mickey (Noel Clarke) and the whole of Planet Earth are in danger. The only hope for salvation lies inside a strange blue police box. Rose's life will never be the same again.
