Blue Peter special 2005 was a Doctor Who cutaway sketch that aired on Blue Peter. It is the only on screen story outside of Series 1 of Doctor Who and The Trip of a Lifetime to feature Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor. It aired four days before Rose, pre-dating the first story of Doctor Who's revival and Eccleston's introduction to the series.

It was also the first story to feature the Ninth Doctor facing the Daleks as an enemy and, most importantly, was almost certainly the final TV story that Eccleston filmed as the Doctor.

Synopsis

The Doctor defeats a compost bin Dalek by yelling “Take That!”, disintegrating it using an unnaturally powerful Blue Peter badge and then walking off.

Plot

He then leaves leaving the hosts and the kids sad that they didn’t get his autograph. A man walks up with a wheelbarrow wondering where it is.
