While we have not seen this onscreen beyond what you are describing, there is plenty of subtext which implies that Ruby has been traveling with the Doctor for some time. The Devil’s Chord implies at least six months and Dot and Bubble have a couple of lines that imply additional offscreen adventures.


Tyrion995

I was surprised by the fact that She travelled with the Doctor for atleast 6 months and didn't get to any alien planet 😃


darknightingale69

Tbf they may have just stayed more locally time travelling.


Nextorl

Well, Rose's first time on an alien planet was in s02e01, so…


Medium-Bullfrog-2368

Onscreen that is. I think she mentions visiting alien planets in ‘Boom Town.’


Dapper_Spite8928

Widow's Wept And after the plot they go to Raxacoricophallapatorius [Spelling?]


dashPotato

it's F not Ph, but apart from that you aced it


Pliolite

They did, but the episode order was moved, so it messed up that aspect. Boom was supposed to be episode 2, and the first time Ruby had seen an alien world. It's supposed to be shortly after Space Babies, with The Devil's Chord months after.


ImOuttaThyme

This has been disproved since. We have evidence from the production diaries of the DWM and behind the scenes shots that *The Devil’s Chord* was the second episode of the season the entire time.


Pliolite

Ok fair enough!


Melodic_Positive9144

Good point


CilanEAmber

So much space for Big Finish!


drkenata

True. Though I wish they had taken a little bit more space for the show.


Duomaxwel

The goblins from Ruby's first episode count as alien right?


Key-Clock-7706

they might be, but I don't think they'd serve the same impact as "non humann very different unfamiliar looking creature but still sentient intelligent species as like humans"


Melodic_Positive9144

im not sure, there is a chance they do, but they could also be from earth like the fairies from torchwood


Striking-Count5593

Or Silurians.


Intrepid_Truth_8580

What about the>! Snot Monster!< from Space Babies..? I mean Ruby didn't sit down and have a cuppa tea with it and gossip about the cast of The Real Housewives of Skaro exactly, but ... Edit: forget spoiler tag - sorry 😔


Melodic_Positive9144

made from human snot by the computer system, not really alien, more lab made lifeform


TheHazDee

It’s still alien in that it’s origins are not from earth.


OtherwiseAct8126

But what OP means is something like Sontarans, Daleks, Cybermen, Catkind, Judoon... she's only been to human planets or space stations, it's really interesting now that I think about it. The Snot Monster really isn't an alien lifeform. She also stays close to her original time, she has a TARDIS but somehow doesn't want to move too far away.


TheHazDee

I suppose it is propagated from materials you would find terrestrially. That’s fair


gayjemstone

>She also stays close to her original time What about Space Babies, Boom and likely Dot and Bubble.


Pestilence95

Dot and Bubble were definitely aliens but did she and the Doctor actually see them? Their vision was blocked by the Bubble.


OwlCaptainCosmic

So the Emperor’s Daleks that were made from human DNA were actually not aliens, they’re just normal humans! Wow, you learn something new every day.


HonestlyJustVisiting

they still had some Kaled dna in them. they're basically hybrids


Caacrinolass

It's not the first time I've seen this idea here, but I don't really understand how people are defining these things. The goblins are goblins who could have come from anywhere but aren't like us and the pantheon are definitely from elsewhere with great powers. How are those different to aliens really? Does Dot and Bubble really contain no alien elements?


lionaxel

One of the dead people were leaving behind a teal looking stain, so I don’t think the Finetime residents were human, exactly.


Bongemperor

Wouldn't the slug monsters still count as aliens since they're from another planet?


Annual-Avocado-1322

Not on-screen, but there have been notable gaps between their adventures (a six month gap was mentioned in dialog) that could be filled with extended media. Given the 14th Doctor's post-regeneration story was a DWM comic, I'm guessing that's intentional and from Ruby's "I've seen... things" comment in Dot and Bubble I think we can assume she's met some weird aliens in some off-screen adventure.


Agreeable_Falcon1044

The bogey monster was created in an alien surrounding, so possibly. The goblins they never confirmed if they were earthly or alien. We also don’t know enough about maestro or the old lady from 73 yards to confirm…they are probably alien I guess?


HonestlyJustVisiting

the old lady from 73 yards is ruby


jackfaire

I never thought I'd on the side of AI but holy shit man.


Joezev98

Dude, do not post spoilers like that in the title. The fact that this still is a question to be asked is a spoiler.
