Doctor Who and Rosemary visit the year five thousand million where he flirts with wood and she is nice to a pretty young pleb.

*** - The world ends. Finally.

Rose: Where am I going to go? Ipswich?!

Doctor: Will you stop droppin' yer aitches!

Rose: Ipswich doesn't have a haitch at the start.

Doctor: Wooo - see - I'm alien I am.

Doctor: I give you air from my pants.

Joan Rivers launched a lawsuit against RTD, the BBC and Zoe Wannamaker alleging that the character of Casandra was clearly meant as a slur on her and her amended face.

Joe Royal launched a similar claim but centring around the Face of Boe.

The air from the Doctor's lungs was supplied by Christopher Eccleston. He received an ex gratia payment of ten pounds. A paper bag was kept on stand by in case he hyperventilated.

Eccleston's dog, van Nistelrooy, disgraced himself by weeing on one of the trees between takes.

As reported in several of the lower class newspapers, Welsh first minister Rhodri Morgan was mistaken for a member of the cast and rushed into make-up when he visited the set. It wasn't until he was half way through the phone call to Jackie that the mistake was noticed and the real Billie Piper was located.

Michael Aspel surprised Christopher Eccleston with the legendary "This is Your Life" book at the end of the third studio day. Recording of "Life" was going very well during the formative months of his life before he suddenly walked out just before Aspel could talk about his first birthday party.

Doctor Who has always used highly realistic three dimensional computer generated space ships. However, up until 2005 no one thought to use these on screen. Previously they had simply served as blueprints for the BBC's model making department (aka "the Egg Box Boys")
 

...is that the flames of passion and a girlfriend made of wood don't make a good combination.

"I was very pleased to see the switch-flipping in the latest episode. One of my concerns about the new console is that it wouldn't lend itself to much interaction with the Doctor. Instead, it seemed like there was plenty there for him to play with."
 

"who else thought at the end that Billie Piper actually managed to make the act sniffing out chips sexy?"
 

"If I was going to be pedantic (heaven forbid) then I might say that, as the simplest nitpick, there is no conceivable way that a Jukebox / vinyl record could survive 5bn years without either time travel or acceleration to a significant fraction of the speed of light being involved."
 

"Maybe I've missed them somewhere in all these posts but I haven't seen anybody complaining about the fact that the Doctor unquestionably fancied the bark off Jabe."
 

"I was just so happy that Ipswich got mentioned as it's my home town. Anyone else had their home town mentioned before? (apart from London)"
 

"i don't understand how rose could still speak to her mother 10 billion years later wouldn't she be dead? could someone please help me understand the storyline be really appreciated."
 

"Why was Britney Spears' song toxic in a 45 vinyl record format when it appeared in the juke box? Surely they don't make those any more other than perhaps very rare picture discs (which this wasn't). It should have been in CD format. What the hell does RTD think he is playing at? Does he take us all for fools? He will have to clear his act up pretty sharpish if he wants the new series to be taken seriously by the general public."
 

"Showing Rose the Tardis controls & showing off by taking her somewhere way in the future. Classic male behaviour when trying to pull a woman - like taking her for a drive in a big flash car"
 

"A thought crossed my mind watching The End of the World, how does the Doctor's watch work? I'm guessing it's tied in with the TARDIS to ensure it keeps accurate time for the relevant circumstances....has this ever been clarified?"
 

Tom Baker - "Oh - I think the pancake woman would've made an excellent assistant."

Peter Davison - "I think Tegan and Jade would've made a nice couple - Tegan could supply the butchness and Jade the necessary wood."

Colin Baker - "The Moxx reminded me very much of Sil - would you like me to drone on about what a good character Sil was?"

Sylvester McCoy - "The end of the world was last Saturday? I must've forgotten to be blown up."

Paul McGann - "Sunday mornin' - a couple of Doctor 'oo fans came up to me and shouted 'We've come to the end of the world by mistake'. They thought it was funny. I told them I wanted twenty grand to reply."
