Today On ScreenToday, March 6, in 2005, Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith fight the Nestene Consciousness, sentient plastic in the form of mannequin-like Autons. That night, Rose joins the Time Lord known as the Doctor as his companion in adventure (Doctor Who, s01e01 “Rose”, 2005)
Eric Gjovaag@todayonscreen I don't know how this has gotten so wrong! This is the second platform I've now seen the date of the premiere of "Rose" as today, when it wasn't actually shown until March 26, 2005—nearly three weeks later. #DoctorWho #GetYourFactsStraight
deltaandthebannermen@ericgjovaag @todayonscreen No, I think they're saying the in-universe date is March 6 2005, not the air date.
That's why they have a photo of Rose's missing poster which gives the date of her disappearance.
Thad@ericgjovaag It's not the date the episode premiered, it's the date it takes place. Take a look at the flyer in the third screenshot. @todayonscreen
@ericgjovaag The replies are correct; this account is about fictional, in-universe dates, not airing dates. You can see it in the second image in the original post
