This topic might have a better name.

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 2022 Ninth Doctor Collector Set by Character Options is commonly thought to be inspired by this segment.
