The Christmas invasion

Discover the new 'Doctor Who' classics. Earth is under attack by power-hungry aliens. This is no time for the Doctor to be out of action. When a British space probe is intercepted by a sinister alien vessel on the eve of Christmas, it marks the beginning of an audacious invasion of the Earth by the Sycorax - horrifying marauders from beyond the stars.

Within hours, a third of humanity stands on the brink of death with not a single shot fired.

Our planet needs a champion - but the Doctor is not fit for service.

He's just regenerated, delirious in a new body and a dressing gown.

Forced into his battered shoes is his friend, Rose Tyler, a girl from a London council estate.

Will she save the world from this nightmare before Christmas - or see it destroyed?
