( COMIC : " Revolving Doors " ) On several occasions during the 1990s , Captain Jack Harkness , who travelled with the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler for some time , visited the Powell Estate to watch Rose grow up , but did not approach her to avoid disrupting her timeline .

( TV : " The End of Time " ) The Powell Estate became the site of considerable excitement from the years 2005 to 2007 , after Rose Tyler encountered the Ninth Doctor . Rose brought an amputated Auton arm from her encounter with the Autons at Henrik ' s . Mickey Smith threw the arm away , but it returned through the cat flap to attack the Doctor and Rose when the Doctor was searching for its signal .

( TV : " The Christmas Invasion " ) During the period in which the Doctor travelled with Rose , the Powell Estate became an unofficial " home base " for the Doctor , as he and Rose returned there occasionally to touch base with her mother . ( TV : " Army of Ghosts " ) Jackie continually invited Elton Pope over to her flat , ostensibly to do odd jobs like fixing fuses , but actually so that she could seduce him . When Rose rang her , Jackie came to her senses and realised what she was doing . When she discovered Elton was looking for the Doctor and initially made contact entirely to get to him , she was extremely upset and forced Elton to leave . ( TV : " Love & Monsters " ) The Powell Estate was one of many sites in London and around the world which were invaded by Cybermen from the alternate reality known as " Pete ' s World " before the Tenth Doctor expelled the invaders into the Void .
