Original BBC Webpage: Episode 2
"Burn, baby. Burn."
The Doctor takes Rose to an exclusive affair. The rich and powerful have gathered to pay their last respects to Earth as it is destroyed by the expansion of the sun.
Doctor Who writer/producer Russell T. Davies wrote Queer as Folk among other shows. His vision for the series is for it to be character driven. This episode is more about the development of the Doctor as a character and establishing his relationship with Rose than the adventure on Platform One.
But, it does give the audience what it wants: people in alien costumes.
By the way, the phrase "Bad Wolf" appears in some form in every episode. It's an augury of episodes 12 and 13, but I'll come to that later.
