Triskaidekaphobia (comic story)

Summary
Escaping from the Speardroids the Doctor, in order to convince Rose that their landings aren't cursed, selects their next destination using the randomiser ("satnav by lucky dip". Unfortunately their destination; the 13th Moon, of the 13th planet, in the 13th galaxy, on the 13th day, of the 13th year, in the 13th century..is a Friday! They are struck by lightening, rained on by cats and meet the Triskaidekaphobes. The unluckiest people in the whole of creation, pilgrims trapped on this moon. Finding a four leaf clover on a small patch of lawn where Misery and Misfortune once stood, the Doctor begins to suspect that something is responsible for taking away any good luck that should occur. When the Doctor is lucky tossing a coin he and rose are transported up to a ship hidden in the only rain cloud in the sky that has been following them. There they find Bob Kreesus (a small blue alien), living in luxury on all the good fortune generated by his lucky machine. The Doctor dismisses the luck as no more than "gamblers superstitition". The alien machine, powered by a quantum powered processor is the reason Bob has been fortunate. The DOctor destroys the machine and returns the mising Brotherhood along with Bob to the moon where the sun has started to shine once more. Bob fails to head the Doctor's warning about a discarded banana skin and falls off the edge of a cliff...unlucky!
