  • Idris Hopper recognizes Jack Harkness and chases after him. Seeing past the perception filter, he witnesses the invisible lift in action. An attempt to erase Idris' memories with retcon in his dinner fails and Idris becomes angry with Jack because he thinks he's been poisoned. (TWN: The Twilight Streets)

This means there were in fact briefly two versions of the Tenth Doctor in London at the same time.
  • The Sycorax use blood control on one third of Earth's population. Harriet Jones appears on television to ask for the Doctor's help. The Doctor defeats the Sycorax though not before their leader cuts off the Doctor's hand (which grows back). The Torchwood Institute destroy the retreating Sycorax ship. The Doctor regards as murder and so engineers Harriet Jones' spiral in the polls. (DW: The Christmas Invasion)
Later, Jack Harkness finds and retrieves the Doctor's hand, which ends up at Torchwood 3. (TW: Everything Changes et al, DW: Utopia)
Later, she posts the photo to her blog. (DW: Love & Monsters)
  • Although the Earth has been visited (and even invaded) many times previously by alien races, the Doctor tells Rose that the Sycorax event marked the first occasion that life beyond Earth became common knowledge, and that Earth itself was now becoming noticed by other worlds. (DW: The Christmas Invasion) This sentiment is later echoed by Jack Harkness in his statement, "The 21st century is when it all changes." (DW: Last of the Time Lords and repeatedly in Torchwood)

  • Doctor Who wins the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, the first time the Doctor Who franchise has won an international award of this magnitude. The award is presented for the Steven Moffat two-parter DW: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. Two other episodes from the 2005 series are also nominated in this category: DW: Father's Day and DW: 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 proceeds to be 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.
  • 17 - THN: The Sideways Door is first published.
  • 24 - The International Astronomical Union approves an official definition of the term "planet" which results 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, has made its opinion known by establishing Pluto as a planet in DW: The Sun Makers.
