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.
