==== January - March ====
[[File:Big Ben destroyed.jpg|left|thumb|[[Big Ben]] is destroyed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}})]]
On [[6 March]] 2006, the [[Ninth Doctor]] returned [[Rose Tyler]] to her home in [[London]]. Due to a miscalculation, they arrived a year late. Rose learnt that her mother, [[Jackie Tyler]], had been searching for her ever since she left the previous year. At one point, she was believed [[murder]]ed and [[Mickey Smith]] had been a suspect. [[Big Ben]] was [[London UFO crash|side-swiped]] by [[Slitheen craft (Aliens of London)|a UFO]] which crashed into the [[Thames]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}})


=== [[28th June|28]]-[[29th June|29]] [[June]] ===
An "[[Alien (Aliens of London)|alien astronaut]]" from the UFO was taken to [[Albion Hospital]], where the Doctor and [[Toshiko Sato]] examined it. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) "Dr Sato" was working undercover for [[Torchwood Three]], covering for [[Owen Harper]], who was hungover on his "second week" working for Torchwood. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Exit Wounds (TV story)}})


[[Big Ben]] is side-swiped by a [[UFO]] which crashes into the [[Thames River | Thames]].  An "alien" astronaut which turns out to be a surgically enhanced and modified [[space pig|pig]] is retrieved from the wreck, then shot when it tries to escape from [[Albion Hospital]]. [[The Doctor]] discovers the hoax to have been orchestrated by the [[Slitheen Family]], who have gained control of [[Britain]]'s government and plan to launch the [[Earth]] into [[nuclear war]], after which they plan to sell the planet's radioactive rubble as starship fuel. Their plan is thwarted, but only after [[10 Downing Street]] is destroyed by a Harpoon missile and all but one of the Earth's leading experts on aliens are killed. Backbencher MP [[Harriet Jones]], who assisted the Doctor and [[Rose Tyler | Rose]], is later elected Prime Minister. Her three-term administration ushers in a new Golden Age for Britain ([[DW]]: ''[[Aliens of London]]'', ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'')
Most of the Earth's leading experts on aliens were killed, as was the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) [[10 Downing Street]] was destroyed by a [[harpoon missile]] targeted by [[Mickey Smith]]. The fortitude of backbench MP [[Harriet Jones]] during this crisis contributed to her ascent to power and the post of Prime Minister. [[Mickey Smith]] was asked by the Doctor to install a virus that would wipe out all references to [[The Doctor|him]] on the [[Internet]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) Jones later claimed that the destruction of 10 Downing Street was a [[terrorist]] attack. This was repeated in a [[press briefing]] issued by [[UNIT]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Number Ten Pays Tribute to UNIT (short story)}})


=== [[December]] ===
Afterwards, the Slitheen skin suit of General [[R. Asquith]] was recovered from 10 Downing Street and stored at the [[Leamington Spa Lifeboat Museum]]. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Security Bot (video game)}}) Harriet Jones became the new [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}})

In [[July]] 2006, many [[Schlechter Wolf]] artillery shells were excavated during renovations to the refurbishings of the [[Northern line|Northern]] and [[Jubilee line]]s of the [[London Underground]]. UNIT issued a [[press briefing]] about the dangers on [[28 July]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Unexploded WWII Bomb Warnings (short story)}})
 
In [[August]], [[astronomer]]s reclassified [[Pluto]] as a [[dwarf planet]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time Traveller's Diary (novel)}})

==== September - December ====
[[File:350px-Thecardiffrift.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Earth]] is almost destroyed by the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}})]]
In [[September]], the [[Raxacoricofallapatorian]] [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen]], posing as the human [[Margaret Blaine]], [[Mayor of Cardiff]], plotted to blow up the [[Earth]] with the [[Blaidd Drwg]] [[nuclear power plant]] and the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|Cardiff Rift]]. This would let her escape on her [[Tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator|extrapolator]]. The Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith and Jack Harkness captured her, but she used a fallback plan to make the extrapolator latch onto [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]'s energies (having been parked directly on the Rift) and still destroy Earth. The plan backfired and the [[Heart of the TARDIS]] opened up, regressing Blon to an egg. The Doctor and his companions returned Blon to [[Raxacoricofallapatorius]] to start a new life. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) UNIT issued a [[press briefing]] about the [[Cardiff Earthquake]], saying that the clean up was successful, though a number of people were missing (including Blaine), and that UNIT's [[Scientific Advisor]]s had all agreed that the plans for the Blaidd Drwg plant should be abandoned. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Cardiff Earthquake (short story)}}) At this moment there were no fewer than three versions of Harkness in Cardiff at different points in his timeline: the Jack travelling with the Doctor, an older Jack now operating [[Torchwood Three]] while keeping himself and his team in the Hub during these events ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Twilight Streets (novel)}}) and a still older Jack in cryogenic freeze in the Torchwood vaults, unknown to the Torchwood Three team. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Exit Wounds (TV story)}})
 
On [[22 September]], on her 46th birthday, [[Tegan Jovanka]] was briefly reunited with the [[Fifth Doctor]], who discovered that she had been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour and had at most a year to live. Despite the Doctor's entreaty, Tegan chose to forgo his assistance in treating the tumour. She stated that she wished to remain on Earth because she was happy with the life that she had. She rekindled her relationship with [[Michael Tanaka]]. She had previously ended the relationship because of her tumour. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Gathering (audio story)}})
 
According to one account, [[Aliens of London dating controversy|but not others]], a CIA file on [[Gwen Cooper]] dated her joining [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] to October 2006. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The New World (TV story)}}) One account also placed 2006 as the year Gwen investigated the road accident death of [[Eugene Jones]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Random Shoes (TV story)}})
 
Mickey helped Rose to get back to the Ninth Doctor by connecting a truck to the Heart of the TARDIS to open it. In doing so, Rose allowed the Heart to get inside her head and pilot her to the [[Satellite Five|Game Station]] in [[200100|200,100]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})
 
On [[24 December]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] recovered from his [[regeneration]] at the [[Powell Estate]]. The [[Sycorax]] intercepted [[Guinevere One]] and sent a threatening message to [[Earth]]. The [[Sycorax spaceship|Sycorax ship]]'s [[Roboform|pilot fish]] landed. The Doctor stopped them from taking his regeneration energy. [[British Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] Harriet Jones sought help from [[UNIT]] as the Doctor was still in bed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}})
 
Also on this day, [[Daniel Francis Thompson]] was struck by a vehicle and hospitalised at [[St Nicholas's Hospital]] in London. The Tenth Doctor, only older than his encounter with the Sycorax, shared an adventure with Daniel and spent time at St Nicholas's Hospital waiting for Daniel to recover. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Deep and Dreamless Sleep (short story)}})
 
On [[25 December]], the Sycorax ship entered [[London]] airspace at around 07:45. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}}, {{cs|Love & Monsters (TV story)}}) The Sycorax used [[blood control]] on [[2000000000 (number)|one-third of Earth's population]]. Harriet Jones appeared on television to ask for the Doctor's help. The Doctor defeated the [[Fadros Pallujikaa|Sycorax leader]], who was later killed after trying to sneak-attack the Doctor. In the battle the leader cut off [[the Doctor's hand]], which grew back. The [[Torchwood Institute]] destroyed the retreating Sycorax ship at Harriet Jones' orders. The Doctor regarded this as [[murder]] and engineered Jones' spiral in the polls. Although the Earth had been visited and even invaded many times before by alien races, the Doctor told Rose the Sycorax event marked the first occasion that life beyond Earth became common knowledge, and that Earth itself was now becoming noticed by other worlds. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}}) After [[Sycorax invasion of Earth|the attack]], UNIT issued another press briefing, confirming the existence of aliens. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Alien Life (short story)}})
 
[[Ursula Blake]] snapped a photo of the Tenth Doctor celebrating with Rose Tyler in London.
