In Doctor Who on Saturday June 11 at 7.30pm on ABC TV, the Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) takes Rose (Billie Piper) home. She thinks she has been away for one night and is worried about how she will relate to her family and friends now that her mind has expanded to encompass the fact that we are not alone in this world.

Rose has, in fact, been away for a year and her mother Jackie (Camille Coduri) and boyfriend Mickey (Noel Clarke) are not impressed! Then an alien space ship crashes into the River Thames and as the human race comes to terms with the fact that it is not alone in the universe, the Doctor and Rose find themselves in Number 10 Downing Street fighting the Slitheen.

Harriet Jones (Penelope Wilton), the brave MP for Flydale North is the first to alert Rose to the alien threat and helps the Doctor and Rose take on the family Slitheen, evil criminals from the distant planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius. They use compression technology to squeeze their bodies into the skin of smaller races in order to infiltrate their society without attracting suspicion. However all that bodily compression has one unfortunate downside and Rose discovers that her home is no longer a safe haven.
