The Christmas Invasion (TV story)
While Rose, Jackie, and Mickey try to help the Doctor as he suffers the instabilities of post-regenerative shock, the Earth comes under attack by a sinister race known as the Sycorax.
Summary
Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith are preparing for the holiday season when the TARDIS makes a violent appearance at the council estate. Rose emerges from the ship with the newly regenerated Doctor, who wishes Jackie and Mickey a Merry Christmas before collapsing, after which he slips in and out of consciousness. Later, Rose and Mickey are attacked first by a group of sinister Santas while Christmas shopping, then by a killer Christmas tree back at the flat. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Harriet Jones learns that a recently launched Mars probe has been captured by the Sycorax, who have plans to invade and conquer Earth.
