Doctor Who S01 E02 - End of the World
Added 2023-09-01 04:45:07 +0000 UTCIn this episode, the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) takes Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) on her first trip in the TARDIS to the year 5.5/apple/26, approximately 5 billion years into the future. They arrive on Platform One, a space station orbiting Earth, which is about to be consumed by the Sun. The station hosts a variety of alien species, including the last human, Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17 (Zoë Wanamaker), who has undergone so many surgeries that she's reduced to a piece of skin stretched on a frame. As the guests enjoy the spectacle of Earth's destruction, the Doctor and Rose discover that robotic spiders are sabotaging the station's systems. The Doctor eventually uncovers that Cassandra is behind the plot, intending to cause a catastrophe and profit from it. The Doctor thwarts her plans, and Rose gains a new perspective on her place in the universe.

That’s really interesting. And here I was talking about how the American industry more and more plucks people off TikTok or the pages of a fashion magazine and puts them in projects but that I don’t see that much in UK productions… 😅🥸

When it was announced she would be the companion, many people thought she would be terrible. Just another pop star using that success to segue in TV and film. She proved everyone wrong though!

The same goes for seeing the show through your eyes in general, actually! Thanks again! (:
