He took Rose to the TARDIS and used the Auton's head to trace the control signal of the Nestene Consciousness, discovering it and the original Mickey in a base beneath the London Eye. The Doctor asked the Consciousness to leave Earth and find another planet to feed off, but it refused and ordered two Autons to take the Doctor prisoner, leaving Rose to defeat the Consciousness and save the Doctor's life. Taking Rose and Mickey in the TARDIS to safety, the Doctor asked Rose to travel with him without her boyfriend, but she turned him down and he departed. (Episode: Rose)

At Christmas in 1869 Cardiff, the Doctor and Rose found a deceased woman possessed by a Gelth, a creature turned to gas by the Time War. When Rose was kidnapped by Sneed and Company funeral parlour, the Doctor worked with Charles Dickens to find her, following Gabriel Sneed and Gwyneth to where other 'zombies' had also been animated by the Gelth. In Sneed's morgue, the Doctor had Gwyneth try and pull the Gelth through the Rift using her psychic connection to it. The Gelth, numbering in the billions rather than just the few they claimed, wished to wipe out humanity and take over their bodies, starting with the dead bodies in Sneed and Company. The Doctor, Rose and Dickens escaped from the Gelth by filling the room with gas, sucking out the Gelth from the cadavers. Gwyneth, who had already died from contacting the Gelth, blew the house up with a match, trapping them and saving the world. Before going off in the TARDIS, the Doctor said goodbye to Dickens, telling him that his work would be remembered forever, which made Dickens a happier person. (Episode: The Unquiet Dead)
The Doctor would later take Rose to the Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon and Woman Wept, where they walked at midnight under frozen waves one hundred feet high. (Episode: Boom Town)
