Revision as of 12:26, 25 March 2023
The Trip of a Lifetime was a narrative trailer advertising the first series of revived Doctor Who. It featured Christopher Eccleston in character as the Ninth Doctor, with Billie Piper also briefly appearing in a new shot as Rose Tyler, though she had no lines.
Prior to the trailer's release, three 10-second teasers, each focusing on a different character, began airing from 8 March 2005. The characters featured were the Doctor, Rose and the TARDIS. Also on 15 March 2005, a second 25-second trailer featuring Rose began airing on CBBC.
In the trailer, 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 trailer explains how he did it.
