Thworping through time and space, one adventure at a time!

Originally broadcast during Children in Need in 2005, this minisode served as a transition between Parting of the Ways, the Series 1 finale, and The Christmas Invasion, the 2005 Christmas special. It’s the first new scene we get with David Tennant as the 10th Doctor, as he gets used to his new body and tries to convince Rose that he truly is the Doctor.

This is a weird little story, with a young-ish David Tennant wearing a leather jacket and being all fun and giggles, while an astonished Rose has difficulties accepting him. Mostly played for laughs, it also carries surprising narrative depth. It’s funny, exciting, and intriguing, as it leads directly to The Christmas Invasion.
