  • 24 - The Tenth Doctor recovered from his regeneration at the Powell Estate. Sycorax intercepted Guinevere One and sent a threatening message to Earth. The Sycorax ship's pilot fish landed. The Doctor stopped them from taking his regeneration energy. Prime Minister Harriet Jones sought help from UNIT as the Doctor was still in bed. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
  • 24 - Daniel Thompson, age four, was struck by a vehicle and hospitalised at St. Nicholas's Hospital in London. The Doctor, in his tenth incarnation, only older than his encounter with the Sycorax, shared an adventure with Daniel and spent time at St. Nicholas's Hospital waiting for Daniel to recover. (Times Online: Deep and Dreamless Sleep)
This meant there were two versions of the Tenth Doctor in London at the same time.
Later, Jack Harkness found and retrieved the Doctor's hand, which ended up at Torchwood Three. (TV: Everything Changes et al, TV: Utopia)
  • Ursula Blake snapped a photo of the Tenth Doctor celebrating with Rose Tyler in London. Meanwhile, on the Internet, there began frantic speculation among conspiracy theorists as to what had really happened during the Sycorax invasion. (TV: Love & Monsters)
Later, Ursula posted the photo to her blog. (TV: Love & Monsters)

  • Doctor Who won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, the first time the Doctor Who franchise won an international award of this magnitude. The award was presented for the Steven Moffat two-parter TV: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. Two other episodes from the 2005 series were also nominated in this category: TV: Father's Day and TV: Dalek. The competition in the category also included "Pegasus", an episode of Battlestar Galactica; Jack-Jack Attack, an animated short spun-off from the film The Incredibles; Lucas Back in Anger, a short film; and, controversially, the opening segment of the previous year's Prix Victor Hugo Awards Ceremony. Moffat was nominated for his Doctor Who episodes for the next three consecutive years, winning the award in 2007 and 2008 and coming a close second place in 2009.
  • 4 - John Alderson (Wyatt Earp in TV: The Gunfighters) died.

  • 17 - PROSE: The Sideways Door was first published.
  • 21 - BBC News revealed details of a cancelled Doctor Who spinoff. Entitled Rose Tyler: Earth Defence, the special would have followed Rose Tyler from the events of TV: Doomsday. Russell T Davies, however, vetoed the idea.[1]
  • 24 - The International Astronomical Union approved an official definition of the term "planet" which resulted in Pluto and several newly discovered Pluto-like worlds being disqualified from planetary status. The decision was immediately controversial, with attempts at overturning it expected in the future. The Doctor Who franchise, retroactively, had made its opinion known by establishing Pluto as a planet in TV: The Sun Makers.

  • Christopher Eccleston earned a recurring role in the NBC series Heroes. While Eccleston wasn't the first to get a role on American TV after his tenure as the Doctor (he was preceded by Tom Baker, Peter Davison and Colin Baker in this regard), he was the first to gain a recurring role in an American series. His role as Claude, the Invisible Man, included a reference to the Doctor in that he uttered the catchphrase, "Fantastic!". He also shared several scenes with Eric Roberts, who played the Master in the 1996 TV movie. Eccleston appeared in five episodes broadcast in early 2007.
