6 March

6 March 2005 was the date on which Rose Tyler supposedly went missing.

A year later, the Ninth Doctor returned Rose to her home in London, a year late. Rose learned that her mother, Jackie Tyler, had been searching for her ever since. Big Ben was side-swiped by a UFO which crashed into the Thames. (TV: Aliens of London) Many people witnessed the crash, including Elton Pope, (TV: Love & Monsters) but the crash was later covered up as a hoax. (WEB: whoisdoctorwho.co.uk) An "alien astronaut" from the UFO was taken to Albion Hospital, where the Doctor and Toshiko Sato examined it. "Doctor" Sato was working undercover for Torchwood Three, covering for Owen Harper, who was hungover on his first week working for |Torchwood. (TV: Aliens of London, TV: Exit Wounds) Most of the Earth's leading experts on aliens were killed, as was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. (TV: Aliens of London) 10 Downing Street was destroyed by a harpoon missile targeted by Mickey Smith. The fortitude of backbench MP Harriet Jones during this crisis contributed to her ascent to power and the post of Prime Minister by 25 December. Mickey Smith, now webmaster of the "Who is Doctor Who?" website, was asked by the Doctor to install a virus that would wipe out all references to him on the Internet. (TV: World War Three) Mickey did not do this. Instead he renamed his website Defending the Earth! and proceeded to chronicle unexplained happenings, usually involving the Doctor.
