A '''''Blue Peter segment''''' which aired on the [[4 April (releases)|4 April]] [[2005 (releases)|2005]] featured [[Christopher Eccleston]] in-character as the [[Ninth Doctor]].


The sketch aired four days before ''[[Rose (TV story)|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 [[Dalek]]s as an enemy and was among the finale scenes Eccleston filmed as the Doctor for TV.
It it notable for being the only on-screen appearance of Eccleston in the role outside of [[Series 1 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 1]] and general promotional material. In total, it was the Ninth Doctor's fourth appearance on TV, following [[TV]]: ''[[The Trip of a Lifetime (TV story)|The Trip of a Lifetime]]'', ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'' and ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]''. It was also the first televised story to feature the Doctor facing a [[Dalek]] and was potentially the final televised performance Eccleston filmed for the role, as he had previously wrapped production on [[TV]]: ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]''/''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'' on [[5 March (production)|5 March]] [[2005 (production)|2005]].<ref>http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/2005lm.html</ref>

A clip from ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|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]].
In the garden, Konnie Huq 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 [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|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.
