The Trip of a Lifetime was a pair of two promotional videos advertising the first series of revived Doctor Who. The first focused on Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor. The second focused on Billie Piper as Rose Tyler.

In the video, the Doctor is depicted as running from a great explosion, implicitly the one that blew up Henrik's during TV: Rose, the first episode of the series. The Doctor's escape from Henrik's was never depicted in the episode, thus the video explains how he did it.

Synopsis

Plot

The Trip of a Lifetime

The Doctor asks you if you want to come with him in the TARDIS, warning you that it won't be safe, or easy, or restful — but stressing that if there's one thing that it will be, it is "the trip of a lifetime".

Notes

End of the normal BBC One episode videos.

There were two versions of the video, a 50-second full length one and a 30-second "cut-down" one.
Prior to the video's release, three 10-second teasers, each focusing on a different character, began airing from 8 March 2005. The characters featured were the Doctor, Rose and the TARDIS. Also on 15 March 2005, a second 25-second video featuring Rose began airing on CBBC.
This trailer featured material of Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper in character; including the Doctor offering the viewer to become a companion (an act equated with watching Series 1 itself, due to the story's nature as an advertisement). Hence, it broke the fourth wall.
The music used in the main trailer was a trial arrangement of the "Doctor Who theme" by Murray Gold.
Elements from these trailers were used for the normal BBC One episode trailers throughout Series 1.
The promotional videos were shot on 35mm film.^[1]
These videos were recorded between Saturday 26 February-Sunday 27 February 2005 on the TARDIS standing set at Unit Q2, Newport and the Mill Street-Queensway underpass beneath Newport railway station.^[1]
This trailer also featured clips from Rose, The Unquiet Dead, Aliens of London, World War Three, and Dalek to illustrate the Doctor's warnings about what a companion of his might encounter on their travels.
This video was later referenced in 2017 in AUDIO: The Other Side, in which the Ninth Doctor tells Adam Mitchell their trip into the future will be a "trip of a lifetime".
