History Recap / DoctorWhoS27E12BadWolf

No, it's a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover. All three have landed in the Game Station, which [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E7TheLongGame the Doctor and Rose visited back when it was called Satellite Five.]] The Doctor expected history to get back on course once the Jagrafess was removed, but is horrified to learn that the power vacuum caused human civilisation to collapse instead. It's 100 years later, Earth is a smog-covered hellhole, and the giant space station is now a home for more lethal versions of 21st-century reality TV, such as ''Call My Bluff'' (with real guns), ''Countdown'' (where you've got thirty seconds to stop a bomb from going off), ''Stars in Their Eyes'' (literally — if you don't sing, you get blinded), ''Wipeout'' (speaks for itself), and ''Ground Force'' (the really nasty version where losers get turned into compost). Anyone on Earth can be selected as a contestant and transmatted into a game with no warning, but the Doctor realises that any transmat beam capable of pulling him out of the TARDIS had to be far, far more powerful. Someone wants him here, and he's going to find out who.

-->'''Dalek:''' [[AC:But you have no weapons, no defences, no plan!]]

-->'''The Doctor:''' This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to rescue her. I'm going to save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet, and THEN I'm going to save the Earth, and THEN, JUST TO FINISH UP, I'M GOING TO WIPE EVERY LAST ''STINKING'' DALEK OUT OF THE SKY!\\

** Subverted in that the Controller WANTED the Doctor and friends to escape so they could fight the Daleks and had brought them to the Gamestation for that purpose. "I have brought your destruction."

The Doctor's going to be having one of those MoodWhiplash days, because he's pinpointed the teleport destination and cancelled the cloaking signal. What does he find? An alien warship... and another... and another. There are, in fact, ''two hundred'' flying saucers sitting right on the edge of the solar system.

->''[Jack] pulls a gun out of his ass and shoots them. ''[{{beat}}]'' [[NotHyperbole No, really,]] he pulls ''a gun'' out of ''his ass'' and ''shoots them''. I so wish Mary Whitehouse was still alive to see this; her head would pop off, spin around three times and land on her neck upside-down again.''

** Rose, when she sees where she's been teleported to.

** Subverted in that the Controller WANTED the Doctor and friends to escape so they could fight the Daleks ("I have brought your destruction"). She just wasn't able to inform the guards (or anyone else) until a magnetic storm allowed her to without the Daleks listening in.

The Doctor, Jack and Lynda (with whom Jack flirts) are informed that they will be taken to the Lunar Penal Colony to be held without trial or appeal. They respond by breaking out in five seconds and making their way to floor 500 — ''still'' not made of gold — where the Doctor demands to know who's in charge and who just killed his friend. Unfortunately, the Controller — the human supercomputer in charge of the satellite, who was installed at the age of ''5'' — can only communicate with members of staff. One such staff member (with whom Jack flirts), however, has been keeping a log of mysterious encrypted signals and unauthorised transmissions, and he agrees with the Doctor's theory that this is just a cover for something else.

The casual viewer might be forgiven for assuming that he's ingested the wrong substances and is hallucinating a ''Series/DoctorWho''/''Series/BigBrother'' crossover, but no — the Doctor really ''has'' landed in the ''Series/BigBrother'' house. Of the 2002nd century. He's as confused as the casual viewer.

* {{Irony}}: Out of all the game shows given robotic versions of the hosts, ''Big Brother'' is the only one that ''originally'' featured a robot, the Zing-Bot 3000/9000 (would have been 3000 at the time of this episode; it got upgraded some seasons later), and the only show seen here that ''doesn't'' feature a robot. However, since this is adapting the ''UK'' version of the series as opposed to the ''US'' version of ''Big Brother'', Zing-Bot is one the few elements that did not translate over, sadly.

The one with robot versions of popular British game shows of the Noughties.

** The Daleks announce that the Doctor has "no weapons, no defences, no plan". He confirms they're correct and, as soon as the communication ends, the Daleks ''literally crap themselves'' and put everything into overdrive and start invading the planet because the moment ''the Doctor'' gets involved is the moment all hell breaks loose.
