The Doctor and Rose are discovered by a ship’s steward – who happens to be bright blue – and asked for identification. Apparently the planet gets preserved by the National Trust in a “classic” state in the future once all its residents depart it, but then the money runs out and nature is allowed to take its course. Platform One is a very expensive observation deck, where the very rich or very well connected have gathered to watch the Earth burn. It’s quite literally the end of the world, which is obviously where our episode title comes from. They’re on a viewing platform in space and have arrived to watch the Sun expand and engulf the Earth. They go back and forth for a bit about how far forward they want to go, until they end up 5 billion years in the future. Rose does what literally everyone in most every sci-fi story ever does – because don’t we all want to know what the world will look like when we’re long departed from it? – and says forward. Rose still looks stupidly excited and the Doctor asks her where she’ d like to go – backward or forward in time. Where Do You Want to Go? Our episode picks up quite literally exactly where the last left off, as Rose runs into the TARDIS, having agreed to go off on adventures with an alien man she’s just met. So click through, come chat and leave your thoughts in the comments! This is the the Ninth Doctor’s second adventure, and is really our first proper Doctor Who story, featuring a trip into the future, a great number of fairly bizarre aliens and a mystery to solve.
