The Stolen Earth is the twelfth episode of the fourth series of British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It will be broadcast on BBC One on 28 June 2008 at 7:10pm.[2] The title was withheld until two weeks before broadcast, as "it gives away too much."[3][4] This episode features the return of the recurring villain Davros, his first appearance since the 1988 serial Remembrance of the Daleks.[5]

Plot

Synopsis

The Doctor's secret army of allies comes together to defend the Earth from the new Dalek Empire. With battles raging on the streets and in the sky, the Doctor and Donna confront the Shadow Proclamation to find the truth; however, a fearsome old enemy waits in the shadows.[2]

Cast notes

The episode features the return of many actors and characters to the programme. Freema Agyeman reprises her role as Martha Jones for the second time in the series, and John Barrowman and Elisabeth Sladen also return as Jack Harkness and Sarah Jane Smith respectively. Adjoa Andoh returns as Martha's mother for the first time since "Last of the Timelords". Julian Bleach assumes the role of Davros, after appearing as the "Ghostmaker" in the Torchwood episode "From Out of the Rain" earlier in 2008.

This episode is also the first fully-fledged crossover between Doctor Who and its spin-off series Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, with Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles), Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd), Luke Smith (Thomas Knight) and Mr Smith (Alexander Armstrong) all appearing in the parent programme for the first time. Eve Myles previously played Gwyneth in the 2005 Doctor Who episode "The Unquiet Dead".

Jason Mohammad reprises his role as the newsreader from "Turn Left", and Lachele Carl also reappears as the recurring American newsreader from all three programmes, credited as "Trinity Wells" in series 4 after previously being named "Mal Loup". The Judoon from "Smith and Jones" also return in this episode.

Paul O'Grady and Richard Dawkins also appear, continuing the pattern of celebrity appearances in the penultimate episode of every series since the show's revival in 2005. See also celebrity appearances in Doctor Who.
