On Christmas Eve, 1869, a funeral parlour becomes the home of supernatural phenomena. The Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and Rose (Billie Piper) discover the true source of this apparition- the Gelth, an alien race determined to end the living. Armed with the help of a clairvoyant, and an unlikely historical ally, Charles Dickens (Simon Callow), they defeat the Gelth and put a stop to their master plans. The episode concludes with an exhilarated Dickens, encouraged to complete his body of work in his final year.

On Rose’s (Billie Piper) first adventure through time and space, the ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) takes her to a space station in the far future, to watch the spectacle as the expanding sun destroys planet Earth.

Joined by alien guests from every corner of the universe (including the first appearances of fan-favourite characters Lady Cassandra and the Face of Boe), the Doctor and Rose soon find that one of the guests seeks to take control of the station with an army of robotic spiders. With Rose in danger, the Doctor must find and stop whoever is responsible before time runs out.
