The Christmas Invasion
by Russell T Davies
[Trailer]
On Christmas Eve, the Sycorax come to make slaves of the human race, but the Doctor is recently regenerated and is unable to help. Keep in mind this was designed to be watched by people who have overeaten and are drunk; it contains many plot holes and too much soap-drama. The acting is also a bit off. An unfortunate start to the series for Australians.

New Earth
by Russell T Davies
[2006 Trailer]
A sequel to The End of the World. Cassandra's not dead... and steals Rose's body. In a hospital on New Earth, Cat Nuns are using humans as test subjects. This summary doesn't flow, and neither does this episode.

School Reunion
by Toby Whithouse
[Trailer 3]
An alien race is trying to crack the universal equation and gain control of reality - using the minds of children. Mickey manages to call the time travellers in to investigate when the students' marks go up dramatically. Also investigating is the Doctor's former companion, Sarah Jane Smith (and K9-Mk3), which fortunately takes center stage plot-wise.

The Girl In The Fireplace
by Steven Moffat
[Trailer 4]
On a C51 spaceship devoid of life are rooms with time-windows linked to the life of Madame De Pompadour, mistress to King Louis XV of France. Clockwork droids are observing her brain, hoping to find her at an age which makes her 'complete' enough, for they want to integrate her brain into the ship's systems to replace their main computer.

The Rise Of The Cybermen // The Age Of Steel

The Idiot's Lantern
by Mark Gatiss
[Trailer 7]
Said to be the poorest of the series. An alien travels through the air-waves and television sets, just as everyone in Britain buys them to see the Queen's corronation.

The Impossible Planet // The Satan Pit
by Matt Jones
[Trailer 8] [Fanmade Trailer on youtube for Ep9]
Another highly regarded story. Set on a planet in orbit around a black hole, where there's a pit that houses one of the greatest evils ever.

Love & Monsters
by Russell T Davies
[Trailer 10]
The Doctor and Rose are hardly in this one. It centers on a group of people who've been affected by the Doctor at some point in their lives and want to find him. A monster that absorbs people absorbs one of them. Not much else known but it's supposedly quite funny.

Fear Her
by Matthew Graham
[Trailer 11]
A girl's drawings supposedly come to life. Hopefully there's a proper explanation to all this.

Army of Ghosts // Doomsday
by Russell T Davies
[Trailer 12] [Longer Trailer on youtube for Ep12]
What appears to be ghosts walking the Earth are really people from the parallel universe.
"This world's colliding with another, and I think I know which one." -10thDoctor.
"This is the story of war on Earth... ..Said I was gonna die in battle... And that's when it all ended... This is the last story i'll ever tell." -Rose. It is strongly rumoured that Rose will die. However there seems to be enough evidence for a possible happy ending too.
