Retail Therapy was the fourth and final story of The Ninth Doctor Chronicles.
Publisher's summary
Jackie Tyler is a success. Every home should have a Glubby Glub, and Jackie is star saleswoman on the Powell Estate. At last, she’s found her calling and it’s only a matter of time before she can give Rose the life she deserves. But the Doctor isn’t impressed.
