The year 2005 was most significant for being the year when central London was attacked by the Nestene Consciousness. It was also the year that Rose Tyler joined the Ninth Doctor on his travels. (TV: Rose) The FLIPback Project began at the Snowcap Base, at Earth's South Pole, to counter the predicted reversal of the Earth's magnetic field in 2006. (PROSE: Iceberg)

Events

January

  • 01 - Rose Tyler encountered a man who predicted she would have a great year. Unbeknownst to her, he was the tenth incarnation of the Doctor, whom she had not yet met in her personal timeline. After she left, the Doctor succumbed to radiation poisoning and staggered towards his TARDIS, encouraged by a vision of Ood Sigma. After dematerialising the TARDIS, he regenerated into his eleventh incarnation. Due to the difficulty of the regeneration, he released large amounts of energy, wrecking the control room and sending the TARDIS crashing. (TV: The End of Time)
Since the regeneration occurred after the Doctor dematerialised the TARDIS, it was unclear whether this event actually occurred on 1 January 2005.

  • 22 - While in her Aunt's house in Devon, Sally Sparrow tore off a piece of wallpaper, revealing a message from 1985 asking for help. After later finding a photograph with the Ninth Doctor asking to look through the wallpaper again, she found another message leading her to play a video recording of the Doctor in 1985; the Doctor communicating to Sally through already having the conversation from Sally's uncompleted Christmas homework. The Doctor explained that the TARDIS had "burped" forward in time twenty years and needed Sally's help. Sally's future self appeared, telling Sally to hit the TARDIS reset button to reach the Doctor. The Doctor told Sally to finish her homework detailing this conversation and the messages left to her first, which she did. Sally then piloted the TARDIS to the Doctor to rescue him. (PROSE: What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow)

Behind the scenes

February

  • PROSE: Match of the Day was first published. This was the final BBC Past Doctor Adventures novel to feature the Fourth Doctor and, as of 2011, the most recent original Fourth Doctor novel.

The sketch was widely circulated among science fiction fandom, in part via the recently introduced video-sharing website YouTube. In the coming years, YouTube was a major outlet for the distribution of fan-made music videos, clips and other material related to Doctor Who and its spinoffs.

  • Broadcast of the revived series in the United States was delayed when the American Sci-Fi Channel unexpectedly passed on the series. Reasons cited in media and fan forums included the show being "too British" and concerns over the quality of the preview episodes seen.[source needed] Sci-Fi eventually reversed its decision and the series was broadcast at a later date. The network subsequently picked up further seasons in a more timely manner.
  • Following the conclusion of the 2005 Doctor Who series, the BBC announced it had commissioned the franchise's first spin-off series, Torchwood, to debut in 2006 and star John Barrowman reprising his role of Jack Harkness.
  • Autumn: During production of the 2006 series, the media reported that Billie Piper would leave the series at the end of the season.[source needed]
