Plot
After the Doctor drops Rose Tyler off in 1979, to see ABBA, he picks up the Viewer in the TARDIS and takes the viewer with him to stop the Graske. The Viewer helps locate a Changeling, locate a Graske, pilot the TARDIS and get through doors on Griffoth, but their ultimate decision was when a Slitheen escaped and they need to choose whether to freeze the station; killing everything inside or teleporting the kidnapped people back to their homes and destroy the Changelings. When the choice was made Doctor thanked the Viewer and dropped them back off at their home.

Story notes

 * This story immediately followed The Christmas Invasion and was initially only available to subscribers to the BBC Red Button interactive service. Viewers were able to pilot the TARDIS and fight the Graske both on its native world of Griffoth and in Victorian London. From Wednesday 18th January 2006, the story was available to access via the BBC website, but only for UK residents. It was subsequently made available to international users of the website as well.


 * The question of whether this episode "counts" as a television story is somewhat muddied by its interactive nature. Some regard it primarily as a game, rather than an episode. However, a possible reference to the events of the story can be heard in The Sarah Jane Adventures story Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?, which featured the first undisputed canonical appearance of the Graske, in which Sarah Jane Smith makes reference to there being some Graske activity on Earth a couple of years previous. Gareth Roberts wrote both storylines. Changelings and Graske activity at Christmas are also mentioned by Jack Harkness in his Monster Files, using footage from this adventure.
 * Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia states that it is set after DW: Tooth and Claw.
 * A Zygon makes a cameo, they had not been seen since DW: Terror of the Zygons.

DVD release
Although the interactive nature of the story would be compatible with DVD/Blu-Ray controllers, as of 2010 no home video release of Attack of the Graske has occurred or been announced. This renders it one of only two David Tennant-era Doctor Who-related productions (the other being the non-canonical Tonight's the Night skit) that has not, and likely will not, see official home video release.
