Seeking to make a [[profit]], a branch of the criminal [[Slitheen family]] of [[Raxacoricofallapatorious]] came to [[Earth]], where they infiltrated the [[British government]]. In [[March]] [[2006]], the Slitheen staged the crash of an [[Slitheen craft|alien ship]] in [[central London]], fabricating an [[alien invasion]] so that the [[United Nations]] would grant the British government the codes for [[nuclear weapon]]s which the Slitheen would then use to start [[World War III]], reducing the Earth to radioactive chunks which could be sold as fuel for [[spacecraft]]. This plot was opposed by the [[Ninth Doctor]] and his [[companion]] [[Rose Tyler]], with assistance from [[Harriet Jones]], [[Mickey Smith]], and [[Jackie Tyler]]. Ultimately, Mickey, on the Doctor's orders, hacked into the [[UNIT]] website and launched a [[harpoon missile]] designated [[UGM-84A]] at [[10 Downing Street]], killing the Slitheen ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]''/''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'') bar one, [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen]], who used a [[teleport]] to escape, ending up on a [[skip]] in the [[Isle of Dogs]].

For the TARDIS crew, they moved on from Raxacoricofallapatorious to [[Kyoto]] in [[1336]] before they were brought to the [[Game Station]], where they were embroiled in the [[Dalek]] [[Battle of the Game Station|invasion]] of Earth in the year [[200,100]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]'') By using Blon's extrapolator, the TARDIS wielded a [[force field]] which protected it from the firepower of both the Daleks and [[Dalek Flagship (The Parting of the Ways)|their flagship]], allowing the Doctor and Jack to rescue Rose when she was captured by them. When the Doctor sent Rose home for her own safety, Rose refused to leave him and, having witnessed the heart of the TARDIS reveal itself before, enlisted Mickey and [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]]'s aid to do it again so she could return. Exposed to the energy of the [[Time Vortex]], Rose briefly became the [[Bad Wolf (entity)|Bad Wolf]], the power of which she used to destroy the [[Dalek Emperor in the Last Great Time War|Dalek Emperor]] and [[Dalek Fleet|his fleet]] whilst resurrecting the slain Captain Jack. However, Rose was endangered by the vortex energy, forcing the Doctor to take it within himself before returning it, resulting in his [[regeneration]] into the [[Tenth Doctor]].

Much later from the Doctor's perspective, when he took the TARDIS back to Cardiff to refuel again in [[2008]], [[Martha Jones]] recalled the earthquake from a "couple of years ago", correctly presuming that the Doctor was involved. The Doctor admitted that there was a "bit of trouble with the Slitheen" and that he was "a different man back then".
