A/N My apologies to all my fantastic reviewers, as I'm a day late. Can you forgive me? …You'd better!'
I did write this on Sunday, but I haven't been able to get near a computer until now. I'll stop grousing and get on with the sugar. I mean, the story…
Disclaimer: Yadda yadda, don't own the Doctor, though he's welcome to come and visit at any time, yadda, talk to the BBC, yadda.

7 – My watch must be wrong!
We start this adventure by watching as the 'Time (for) Another Really Disastrous (and) Ill-advised Stop' (A/N Go MaidM, who lays claim to this one!) materialises somewhere that looks suitably futuristic.
The Doctor slips out, gives Rose some dating instructions, then steps back and smirks as Pretty-boy looks completely flabbergasted. Rose follows the instructions exactly, trying to play cool to impress her new 'boyfriend'. It doesn't quite work as planned because her own mouth is trying quite hard to drop open. Our Time Lord casually explains that there are over a million different forms of intelligent life. Pretty-boy-'genius' faints from shock. Trouble-on-legs' smirk just gets bigger. (I have a feeling that he planned that.)
Rose wants a Krump burger. But we already know that the Doctor's skint? Never mind, he's taken up a side career in bank fraud. Quite stupidly, he lets Pretty-boy-'genius'-in-shock run off with both Rose and a fortune.
But, he's just spotted two other pretty girls he wants to go talk to. Now our alien demonstrates the fact that he is blind and can't see a massive number above his head. He bluffs quickly and says that wasn't what he meant. Using his amazing mental powers (and a blank piece of paper) he gets them to tell him all their deepest secrets… about the station.
But he's being watched. This week's disposable bad guy is quite suspicious. Not about him though…yet. However we don't know that, so he's just slightly creepy. Random-creepy-disposable-bad-guy apologises profoundly to the hidden camera in the ceiling. Surprisingly, the camera talks back. Even more surprising is that Creepy-Editor-dude understands the jargon it says.
In the mean time, Pretty-boy-in-shock-and-homesick steals Rose's gadget phone… because he wanted to phone his dog.
They join Trouble-on-legs, who's persuaded the girls he was talking with to let them join the party. I mean, it's not every day you get to see someone open a window inside their head and absorb the world's knowledge through said hole. Is it?
But their party gets gatecrashed. For once, not by our alien. Someone's being exterminated. I mean, promoted. Nothing dangerous or deadly about that. Of course not. The fact that they're never seen again by friends or family is not even slightly suspicious. They just like their job or something, right? Right?
Last-Time-Lord doesn't agree with me, and after attempting to make Rose jealous by hugging the person they're never going to see again (alive at any rate. But we don't know that yet) he tries to hack into the main computer core by viciously dismantling it. Only because Rose said she was too hot. So he's going to elaborate methods to make her better. I'm sure that what he really wanted was to blow it all up. He only didn't because that would have made it even hotter.
Random-creepy-disposable-bad-guy and his hidden camera in the ceiling deal with Random-Suki-character-who-was-in-fact-a-secret-agent. Or at least, we assume that's what happens, since we don't get to see very well.
Pretty-boy-'genius'-who-I've-decided-is-an-idiot is enquiring where he can pay to get a hole in his head. I know someone who'll do that free of charge… (cough the Doctor! cough). But no, nobody listens to me and so Adam pays, using the Doctor's hard-earned, well probably stolen, money.
Trouble-on-legs and Rose go into the lift alone (hmmm…over 350 floors to travel, who know what could've happened in there?) holding hands.
Using the gadget phone, Idiot-pretty-boy-whom-no-one-likes prepares to alter history by talking to his dog and zapping himself with information.
Rose and her alien meet Random-creepy-Editor-dude and Dead-expended-Suki. They're told they don't exist. At which point, our Time Lord is quite happy to leave. But gets overpowered by two dead dudes. He really is pathetic in a fight. After being put in electrocuting manacle-things and meeting the hidden camera, which turns out to be a Jagrafess (upside-down relation to the Nestene Consciousness), it is revealed that they can see into Idiot-pretty-boy's brain. Through that large door installed in his head.
So now they know everything about the Doctor. Although, they can't see into his mind, so don't know about him mind-controlling the random women from earlier (or at least giving her significant looks) into helping them. She goes off and raises the temperature. Which of course makes the place blow up. Yeah, of course (personally, I think things just blow up around the Doctor). Rose then gets a quick lesson in how to use the sonic screwdriver: 'Flick the switch!' and they escape.
Random-creepy-disposable-Editor-bad-guy gets disposed of and 'The Ancient Restroom, Doesn't Include Soap' (My thanks to Doctor Why, I did use it, coz I like it!) leaves so that our alien doesn't have to do any hoovering.
They appear in Pretty-boy's house and Trouble-on-legs blows up his telephone, since he didn't get to blow much else up this week and feels deprived. They abandon Adam to be dissected (as they should've done originally) then leave.
Evilness knows where, we'll find out next week.

Summary of the Synopsis: They save the world and the Jagrafess gets blown up in the process. Then they ditch Adam.

A/N Yeah! They finally chucked the dweeb overboard! Was it just me who thinks that Adam still has Rose's phone? We saw the Doctor take the TARDIS key back, but the phone? I don't think so.
Next week's episode looks well cool! I should be back next Mon/Tues with it. No more hectic updating for me now that I've caught up.
Thoughts on TARDIS acronyms welcome.
In fact, ANY reviews are welcomed.
