Part 2/9:
In a spirited discussion, the Doctor asks Rose about her travel preferences for their first voyage. In a moment of whimsical ambition, she opts to travel exactly one hundred years into the future. However, upon arriving in the 22nd century, the duo quickly find the experience less than thrilling, prompting them to embark on an even more distant adventure. Their decisions lead them, almost instantly, to the year 12005 during what the Doctor refers to as the new Roman Empire—an era steeped in grandeur yet intertwined with skepticism, as Rose questions the Doctor's authenticity and expertise.
