Blue Peter special 2005 was a Doctor Who cutaway sketch that aired on Blue Peter in 2005.

The sketch was the only on screen story outside of Series 1 of Doctor Who and The Trip of a Lifetime to feature a specifically-recorded segment of Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor.

The sketch 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 was among the finales scenes Eccleston filmed as the Doctor for TV.

In the into the Blue Peter crew report on the upcoming release of Series 1 and the return of the Daleks. A clip from Genesis of the Daleks then plays. After this, one of the hosts reports that a different sort of Dalek recently appeared in the Blue Peter garden.

Synopsis

The Doctor defeats a compost bin Dalek, yelling “Take That!”, disintegrating it using an unnaturally powerful Blue Peter badge and then walking off.

Plot

In the garden, Konnie Hung meets Reece and Jim, who have helped build a Dalek Compost bin. Konnie explains how the bin was built and which parts were used. Suddenly, the TARDIS lands just off-screen, and the Ninth Doctor walks into view, exclaiming that he's been hunting for the Dalek across time and space.

The Doctor searches his jacket but finds he does not have his sonic screwdriver and instead disintegrates the Dalek 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.
