In early 2005, A. Fergus was doing a report on the fifth birthday of the London Eye for 60 Seconds on BBC3, when the Ninth Doctor, with blood on his face, told Fergus and his crew to run, and despite them being hardened professionals, they ran like children, not stopping to ask questions. Fergus later wrote about his encounter on whoisdoctorwho.co.uk. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)
Two months later, in March, the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler discovered that the Nestene Consciousness used the landmark as a transmitter to activate its Autons as it was circular and that was what was needed to send the activation signal, and the pair shut down the Autons' operation. (TV: Rose) According to one account, after the death of the Nestene Consciousness due to it being infected with Anti-plastic, the explosion caused the Eye to collapse and fall into the Thames, (PROSE: Rose) however another account that showed the immediate clean-up of "Operation Mannequin" by UNIT indicated no damage to the London Eye. (PROSE: Operation Mannequin)
In 2016, the London Eye was wrecked by the rampaging robot K2. (COMIC: Robo Rampage)
When the end of the world came due to Sol slowly imploding, Lucy Wilson and Hobo Kostinen, making their way through an abandoned, derelict London, observed the London Eye once more tipping into the river. (PROSE: Assessment Day)
