The New Earth Senate (Doctor Who Series Three)

First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Three Episode Four: "Gridlock"

One of the main ruling bodies of the planet New Earth, the Senate held council and resided in the New New York over-city.

In the year 5,000,000,029 the entire senate along with those in the over-city were exposed to a mutated chemical airborne virus that killed them and most of the planet's population (except those that were in the Under-City and Motor Way).


"Gridlock"

After being teleported away from the Motor Way by Novice Hame, the Doctor angrily demanded to speak with the Senate about the people trapped in the Motor Way/ However she sadly tells him that they are "inside the senate" and lets sunlight into the room to reveal that all the senate members have been reduced to skeleton and asking the Goddess Santori to "bless them."

Hame goes onto explain how the city of New New York had fallen, showing him a used Bliss patch that had been on one of the Senate's dead members and telling him about the virus capable of killing the world in "seven minutes." 

However just before the Senate did die, they set up a planet wide 100 year long quarantine and warned neighboring planets that it was unsafe to help them.
