PLEASE NOTE: These caches were originally all letterboxes, with stamps that I personally painstakingly made. Unfortunately, they have proven quite popular, and with that comes muggling. Apparently a number of the stamps have gone missing, and as some have complained about this, and I haven't the time to go and check all 100+ of them on a regular basis, I will be converting them to Traditional caches as needed.
It pains me to make this decision, but it must be done. I recognize that with a powertrail, caches are bound to go missing (that is the nature of the beast), and I appreciate that many of you have helped out by bringing along spares. However, your average cacher does NOT carry around spare stamps, and even if you did, it wouldn't be the one that I originally and personally made for the cache.
So, I am asking for your help: please let me know in your logs which ones are indeed missing their stamps, and I will be changing them to Traditionals (the alternative is archival, unfortunately). Thanks for your assistance in this endeavor, and thanks for supporting this series. I am glad that I spent the many hours needed to create these. However, I cannot justify consistently having to make and then replace all the stamps, due to time constraints.
Sincerely, the CO, josephaw

First off, let me thank you for finding this geocache! I hope you enjoyed the experience of finding it as much as I enjoyed creating and hiding all of these letterbox caches.
This is just one of many such caches in my Dr Who Letterbox Series, made with the help and inspiration of friends. As a Letterbox cache, please leave the stamp for others to see and use, thanks! Each cache has a unique stamp, so bring an inkpad and collect them all! Have fun, and be safe!
"Aliens of London" is the fourth episode of the Series 1 of the British science fiction television show Doctor Who that was first broadcast on 16 April 2005. Written by Russell T Davies and directed by Keith Boak, it is the first in a two-part story, concluding with "World War Three".
In the episode, alien time traveller the Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) takes his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) back to the time she left with him, but accidentally arrive a year later. While Rose is dealing with the consequences with her mother Jackie (Camille Coduri) and her boyfriend Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), a spaceship crashes into the River Thames, triggering a worldwide state of alert.
This episode introduced the character of Harriet Jones, played by Penelope Wilton, who became a semi-recurring character until 2008.
Plot
Intending to return Rose to Earth twelve hours after her original departure, the Doctor miscalculates, arriving twelve months after they left. Rose's mother Jackie is furious with her, believing that Rose had been abducted and murdered. Rose's boyfriend Mickey is also upset, as he was suspected of murdering Rose. As Rose expresses her frustration to the Doctor of not being able to tell the truth of where she's been, they witness a spacecraft crash through Big Ben and fall into the River Thames. Central London is shut down while the population become excited at the possibility of first contact with an alien species. The Doctor suspects trickery, and uses the TARDIS to land inside the hospital where the alien pilot has been taken. The Doctor discovers that the alien craft was launched from Earth, and that the pilot is really a common pig that has been modified by alien technology.
The government is unable to locate the Prime Minister due to the confusion of the crash, and MP Joseph Green is named acting Prime Minister. Green is revealed to be a member of the Slitheen, a family of aliens that compress their bodies into large human "suits" resulting in frequent releases of flatulence. Two other high members of the government, Margaret Blaine and Oliver Charles, are also revealed to be Slitheen. The Slitheen secretly celebrate luring the humans into their plan, but are unaware of their conversation being witnessed by Harriet Jones.
When the Doctor returns to Rose, they are surrounded by soldiers and escorted to 10 Downing Street. The Doctor is asked to join a panel of alien experts including UNIT, and Rose is escorted into the building by Harriet. Harriet tells Rose about the aliens, and together they discover the Prime Minister's corpse. Before they can reveal their discovery, they are caught by Blaine, who begins to unzip her human suit to attack them. As the Doctor attempts to convince the experts of the forgery of the events, Green sends an electrical shock through the assembled group. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leading into the episode "World War Three".
Continuity
Continuing the "Bad Wolf" theme that ran through the series, a boy is seen scrawling the phrase on the TARDIS.[1]
The Doctor tells Rose he is 900 years old. The last on-screen mention of the Doctor's age, in Time and the Rani, put it at 953[2] (see The Doctor's age).
UNIT, the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, is mentioned amongst the experts on aliens, its first appearance on television since the 1989 serial Battlefield. The Doctor mentions having worked with them in the past, but says that they wouldn't recognise him now, alluding to his regeneration.
The Doctor calls Mickey "Ricky" to annoy him, a reference he repeats in "Boom Town". In the episodes "Rise of the Cybermen"/"The Age of Steel", the alternate universe version of Mickey is named Ricky.
Dr Toshiko Sato, the government pathologist in this episode, returns in the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood. The events of this episode are briefly mentioned in a conversation with Toshiko and Owen in the Torchwood episode "Exit Wounds". In Torchwood, Toshiko is a computer expert not a pathologist and it is explained that because Owen was hungover from the night before Toshiko covered for him and said that she was a doctor and examined the space pig.[3]
