The Trip of a Lifetime (TV story)

The Trip of a Lifetime was a pair of two promotional videos advertising the first series of revived Doctor Who. The first focused on Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor. The second focused on Billie Piper as Rose Tyler.

In the video, the Doctor is depicted as running from a great explosion, implicitly the one that blew up Henrik's during TV: Rose, the first episode of the series. The Doctor's escape from Henrik's was never depicted in the episode, thus the video explains how he did it.

Synopsis

The Trip of a Lifetime
The Doctor asks you if you want to come with him in the TARDIS, warning you that it won't be safe, or easy, or restful — but stressing that if there's one thing that it will be, it is "the trip of a lifetime".

Other promotional videos
There were also other non-narrative clip based trailers advertising the first series.

A 30-second teaser from BBC One's winter highlights presentation was released online on the Doctor Who website on 2 December 2004, before airing on BBC One from 1 January 2005. It featured clips from Rose with the tagline ''It's almost time... ...but not yet.''

Five 10-second teasers were released, one per day, between Monday 13 June-Friday 17 June 2005, followed by a 35-second one on Saturday 18 June, counting down to the broadcast of The Parting of the Ways. The first trailer featured the tagline Time is up in 5 days..., the second 4 days... etc., and the last Time is up...

Immediately after the series finale, a 50-second "best bits" trailer aired celebrating the first series, finishing with the tagline Countdown to The Christmas Invasion starts now...
