This topic might have a better name.
We're clearly covering a single segment of a BP episode. So the best title is probably Blue Peter segment (2005 TV story) or Dalek Compost perhaps? As per the external link or Untitled (BP TV story)
Talk about it here.
A Blue Peter segment which aired on the 4 April 2005 featured Christopher Eccleston in-character as the Ninth Doctor.
It it notable for being the only on-screen appearance of Eccleston in the role outside of Series 1 and general promotional material. In total, it was the Ninth Doctor's fourth appearance on TV, following TV: The Trip of a Lifetime, Rose and The End of the World. It was also the first televised story to feature the Doctor facing a Dalek and was potentially the final televised performance Eccleston filmed for the role, as he had previously wrapped production on TV: Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways on 5 March 2005.[1]
Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor defeats a compost bin Dalek, yelling “Take That!”, disintegrating it using an unnaturally powerful Blue Peter badge and then walking off.
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
Non-narrative introduction[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the intro, the Blue Peter crew report on the upcoming release of Series 1 and the return of the Daleks. A clip from Genesis of the Daleks then plays. After this, one of the hosts reports that a different sort of Dalek recently appeared in the Blue Peter garden.
Sketch[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the garden, Konnie Huq meets Reece and Jim, who have helped build a Dalek Compost bin. Konnie explains how the bin was built and which parts were used. Suddenly, the TARDIS lands just off-screen, and the Ninth Doctor walks into view, exclaiming that he's been hunting for the Dalek across time and space.
The Doctor searches his jacket but finds he does not have his sonic screwdriver and instead disintegrates the Dalek with his Blue Peter badge. He then departs, leaving the hosts and the children sad that they did not get his autograph. A man walks up with a wheelbarrow wondering where the compost bin Dalek is.

- The Doctor - Christopher Eccleston
- Konnie Huq - Herself
- Reece - Himself
- Jim - Himself
- Man with Wheelbarrow - TBA
Crew[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Director - Nick Harris
Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In the lack of the sonic screwdriver, the Doctor uses a Blue Peter badge to destroy the Dalek bin. It creates a wave of light appear that made the Dalek bin dematerialise, with the TARDIS engine sound playing.
- The Doctor wears blue jeans.
- It is implied that the Doctor, perhaps, mistakenly believes the Dalek bin is real.
Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The 2022 Ninth Doctor Collector Set by Character Options is commonly thought to be inspired by this segment.
- In 2022, Character Options released a Ninth Doctor Collector Set featuring a new figure of the Ninth Doctor in blue jeans. The figure was officially based on an alternate cover of the first ongoing issue of the Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor comic series. However, said cover did not feature the Doctor in blue jeans, causing common speculation that the figure was actually inspired by the 2005 Blue Peter cameo.
