Blue Peter special 2005 (TV story)
Blue Peter special 2005 was a Doctor Who cutaway sketch that aired on Blue Peter. It is the only on screen story outside of Series 1 of Doctor Who and The Trip of a Lifetime to feature Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor. It aired four days before Rose, pre-dating the first story of Doctor Who's revival and Eccleston's introduction to the series.
It was also the first story to feature the Ninth Doctor facing the Daleks as an enemy and, most importantly, was almost certainly the final TV story that Eccleston filmed as the Doctor.
Synopsis
The Doctor defeats a compost bin Dalek by yelling “Take That!”, disintegrating it using an unnaturally powerful Blue Peter badge and then walking off.
Plot
The Doctor arrives in a garden where the hosts of Blue Peter are looking at a child's compost bin Dalek which he has apparently been looking for. The Doctor is angry, but he does not have his sonic screwdriver and instead disintegrates it 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.
