{{quote|''"He pulls a gun out of his ass and shoots them. [[[Beat]]] [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|No, really]], he pulls'' a gun ''out of'' his ass ''and'' shoots them.

The casual viewer might be forgiven for assuming that he's ingested the wrong substances and is hallucinating a ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[Big Brother]]'' crossover, but
Rose, meanwhile, has ended up in a futuristic ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[The Weakest Link]]'' crossover; and Jack Harkness in a ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[What Not to Wear]]'' crossover staffed by naked robots (whom Jack flirts with). The casual viewer may be forgiven for thinking that this is all rather ''strange''...
But no: it's a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]. All three have in fact landed in the Game Station, which [[Doctor Who/Recap/S27/E07 The Long Game|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, and the giant space station is now a home for more lethal versions of 21st-century reality TV
The Doctor and Jack escape from their crossovers; the Doctor by realizing he's [[Plot Armor|too important for the system to kill]], and Jack by... well, let's not dwell on where he pulled that gun from. The Doctor also takes a girl named Lynda along as a future companion. They all rejoin ''[[Doctor Who]]'', but Rose is still stuck inside her game, and she's losing. In fact, [[Mood Whiplash|she's lost, and the host robot vaporizes her]]. [[Christopher Eccleston]] conveys more hurt and loss with his eyes than most actors can even on a [[Chewing the Scenery|steady diet of scenery]].
The Doctor, Jack and Lynda (whom Jack flirts with) are informed that they will be taken to a lunar penal colony to be held without trial or appeal. They respond by breaking out in about five seconds and making their way to floor 500 -- ''still'' not made of
The TARDIS turns up in one of the storage bays, but the Doctor's mood doesn't improve until Jack shows him that Rose wasn't disintegrated, merely transported (hug time!).
