The End of Time[39] is a two-part Doctor Who special scheduled to be broadcast on BBC One on 25 December 2009 and 1 January 2010 in the UK[1], and on 26 December 2009 and 2 January 2010 on BBC America in the USA.[40] For the first time since the revival of the series in 2005, both episodes will have the same overall title, followed by "Part One" and "Part Two".[41] This will be the last story for David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor prior to the character's regeneration into his eleventh incarnation, who will be played by Matt Smith.[42] It will also be the last Doctor Who story written by Russell T Davies,[43] who shepherded the series' return to British television in 2005 and has since served as the series' executive producer and chief writer.[3][42] Davies will be succeeded as executive producer and showrunner by Steven Moffat.[3][42]
Bernard Cribbins, who appeared in the story "Voyage of the Damned" and throughout Series 4 as Wilfred Mott, grandfather of Donna Noble, will act as a companion to the Doctor in this two-part story.[4] The special will also feature the return of many other actors to the show, including Catherine Tate,[12][13] Jacqueline King,[14] John Simm,[44][45][46] John Barrowman,[30] Jessica Hynes,[32] Russell Tovey,[30] Elisabeth Sladen,[33] Tommy Knight,[33] Billie Piper,[31] and Camille Coduri.[31]
Plot
Part One
The Doctor arrives on the Ood Sphere on Christmas Eve. Ood Sigma takes the Doctor to a group of elders who show him visions of the Master returning. He sees an old woman taking the Master's ring and he realizes that the essence of the Master survived his non-regeneration during their last encounter. The Doctor rushes to Earth in the TARDIS to try and stop his arch-enemy.
Since her last appearance, Lucy Saxon has been imprisoned. One of the warders is Miss Trefusis, the woman who retrieved the Master's ring. On Christmas Eve night, the prison governor brings Lucy to a chamber where it is revealed that most of the staff are fanatics of the Master who have been working ever since his apparent death to bring about his resurrection. With the help of the ring and a biometric imprint taken from Lucy, the Master reappears in a swirl of energy, but Lucy and some other warders have prepared for this eventuality and Lucy hurls a harmful potion at the Master. The Doctor arrives to find the prison obliterated by the resulting explosion.
The Master survives the blast, but his life force is left in a state of constant depletion, forcing him to drain the vitality of a number of homeless people on a desolate construction site. However, he now has the ability to leap extraordinary distances jump high above the ground. Like the Ood and many others on Earth, Wilfred Mott has experienced faded visions of the Master, and has been scouring London with other pensioners, under the group name the "Silver Cloak", to track down the Doctor. Wilf and the Doctor re-unite and the Doctor reveals that a prophecy has been made predicting his death. Later encountering the Master, the Doctor discovers that the drumming in his head is not a symptom of insanity, but perfectly real. A squad of troops suddenly appear, sedating and kidnapping the Master and taking him to the mansion of billionaire Joshua Naismith.
Naismith and his daughter, Abigail, are in possession of the "Immortality Gate", which has restorative powers enabling the healing of injuries and, as Naismith hopes, the resurrection of the dead. Wanting to secure immortality for Abigail, Naismith enlists the assistance of the Master to mend the malfunctioning Gate. Infiltrating the Naismith estate, the Doctor and Wilf discover that two of Naismith's staff are undercover Vinvocci, members of the race which originally owned the Gate, and that its healing abilities can extend to the whole population of any given species across a whole planet.
The Doctor realises the grave threat against human civilisation and tries to stop the Master. However, he is too late: the Gate fixed, the Master slips away from his guard and manages to enter the device. The gateway has been set to human, causing every person on Earth to morph into duplicates of the Master with the exceptions of Wilf and Donna Noble, the first being shielded in an isolation chamber and the latter (as revealed in "Journey's End") having a brain that is partly Time Lord. With her mother, Sylvia, and her fiancé, Shaun Temple, transformed into copies, Donna begins to recover the memories that were erased by the Doctor. Meanwhile, at the mansion, the original Master boasts that the human race is no more and that the "Master Race" has superseded it.
As the camera fades to black, the Narrator claims the Master and his removal of humanity is only a small part of an approaching conflict. The Narrator then appears on-screen and it is revealed that he is a Time Lord by way of his robes, and is shown to addressing a large hall of fellow Time Lords and Time Ladies. The Time Lord proclaims that Gallifrey is restored, that the Time Lords have returned, and that this heralds the end of time itself.
Part Two
The Master's plans are out of control, the sound of drums grows louder and an ancient trap is closing around the Earth. The Doctor faces the end of his life, as he and Wilf must fight alone and the prophecy warns: "He will knock four times."Cite error: The <ref>
tag has too many names (see the help page). Davies had been planning the story for some time, indicating that it continued the trend of series finales being progressively more dramatic:
I knew I'd write David's last episode one day, so I've had this tucked away. You do think: 'How can the stakes get bigger?' And they do. They really do. I don't mean just in terms of spectacle, but in terms of how personal it gets for him.
— Russell T Davies[46]
The Christmas specials constitute Davies' last script for Doctor Who and Julie Gardner's last job producing the series. It also is the last episode Tennant is appearing in, having elected to leave with Davies and Gardner to allow Davies' successor Steven Moffat to start with a clean slate.[47] In issue 407 of Doctor Who Magazine, Davies wrote about the night when he finished the script:
I've had these last pages ready in my head for months and months. Years, to be honest. It takes as long to write as it does to type. [...] So I keep rattling away until... The last words. Trouble is, last words don't really exist. In ten minutes time, I'll change my mind about Scene 25, and go back to write something different. Then I'll get up tomorrow and change all sorts of stuff, before sending it to the office. And then the proper rewrites start. [...] Even then, you keep writing; you keep writing; you think of lines people should have said for the rest of your life. Still, what the hell, let's allow a bit of ceremony. The last words. Maybe I should sit here for hours, deliberating over them. But I know exactly what they are. I type them out. Times like this, typewriters would be better. Typewriters are romantic. A little metal letter should fly. It should hit the paper, whack! Tiny particles of ink should puff and settle. But no, there's just a plastic keyboard. I press the key. The final letter is n. Then a full stop. And that's it. Save. Done. Good.
— Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Magazine issue 407, Production Notes.[48]
When asked about the emotional impact of writing his last Doctor Who script, he said, "I would have thought that when I handed in the last script I might have burst into tears or got drunk or partied with 20 naked men, but when these great moments happen you find that real life just carries on. The emotion goes into the scripts."[3] Tennant and Julie Gardner separately said that they cried when they read the script.[42][49]
The last three specials of 2009 are foreshadowed in the episode "Planet of the Dead", when the low-level psychic character Carmen gives the Doctor the prophecy, "You be careful, because your song is ending, sir. It is returning, it is returning through the dark. And then... oh, but then... he will knock four times."[50] This evokes memories of the Ood prophecy to the Doctor and Donna in "Planet of the Ood".[51] Tennant explained the prophecy meant that the Doctor's "card [had become] marked" and the three specials would thus be darker—characterising "Planet of the Dead" as the "last time the Doctor gets to have any fun"—and that the subject of the prophecy was not the obvious answer:[49]
;David Tennant: Really, from this moment on, the Doctor's card is marked. Because when we come back in "The Waters of Mars", it's all become a little bit darker"
- Julie Gardner
- And as we know, David, he really does knock four times.
- Tennant
- Yeah, absolutely, and if you think you've figured out what that means, you're wrong!
- Gardner
- But when you do figure it out, it's a sad day.
Writing in his regular column in Doctor Who Magazine issue 416, Davies revealed that the original title for "Part One" of The End of Time was "The Final Days of Planet Earth", while "Part Two" was always referred to as "The End of Time".[52] Due to sheer scale of the story, however, it was decided that both instalments needed the same title, differentiated by part numbers.[52]
Filming
The first location filming for this story took place on Saturday, 21 March 2009 at a bookstore in Cardiff.[32][53] Jessica Hynes was filmed signing a book titled A Journal of Impossible Things, by Verity Newman.[32] Hynes previously played Joan Redfern in the 2007 Doctor Who story "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood", in which the Doctor, transformed into a human with no conscious memory of his past adventures, wrote elements of his life as fiction in his "Journal of Impossible Things" and asserted that his mother's name was Verity. The name "Verity Newman" is derived from Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman and the show's first producer, Verity Lambert."[32] A pocket watch featured prominently in the plot of "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood", and a pocket watch is featured on the cover of Newman's book.[32]
Filming also took place at Tredegar House in Newport,[location 1] which had previously been used for the filming of the 2008 Christmas special "The Next Doctor".[18][54] John Simm, who played the Master in the 2007 series finale episodes "Utopia", "The Sound of Drums" and "Last of the Time Lords", was spotted on location during the Tredegar House filming.[44][45] When asked about Simm's appearance, Davies said:
It's not quite as easy to guess what's happening as you think - there's nightmare sequences, and layers of fantasy, because the Doctor's coming to the end of his time. It's quite interesting to watch things being filmed, and think: 'Oh, I can see what that would look like...'[46]
Filming that took place during the Easter Bank Holiday was widely covered by the British press:[55][56][57] Catherine Tate filmed several scenes in the episode in Swansea, including one filmed in the Kardomah Café[location 2] and another depicting her character getting a parking ticket.[57][58] Other filming locations included Nant Fawr Road in Cyncoed, Cardiff[location 3] — the previously regular location used for the Noble household — where filming on 12 April showed Cribbins wearing reindeer antlers and boarding a minibus.[21][13][59] Filming took place in the following week on Victoria Road, Penarth,[location 4] in an area which is regularly used for a location for Sarah Jane Smith's neighbourhood in The Sarah Jane Adventures.[33][60][61] Elisabeth Sladen, who plays Sarah Jane Smith, and Tommy Knight, who plays her son Luke, were filmed on location with David Tennant.[33]
On the night of 20–21 April, Cribbins filmed a Christmas scene on Wharton Street[location 5] in Cardiff's city centre, with a large Christmas tree and brass band.[62]
The science fiction website io9 published a photograph showing Tennant alongside Simm and Timothy Dalton, with Dalton apparently dressed in Time Lord robes.[63] Rumours of Dalton's involvement in the specials had previously appeared in British tabloids.[64] On 26 July 2009, io9 published an interview with David Tennant in which he confirmed Dalton's involvement in the specials.[65]
Trailers and previews
A teaser trailer was shown at Comic-Con 2009. The opening voiceover is provided by Timothy Dalton. The trailer includes brief shots of, among others, Donna Noble, Wilfred Mott, Sylvia Noble and Ood Sigma. John Simm is shown as the Master with blond hair in a black hood.[7]
The 'Next Time' trailer for this story premiered directly after the previous episode, "The Waters of Mars". Several images are shown, including an Ood with a square-shaped, exposed brain saying, "Every night, Doctor, we have bad dreams"; another Ood with gleaming red eyes; a blond, hooded Master standing over a construction site and laughing maniacally, his flesh temporarily vanishing to expose his skull; and Wilfred Mott speaking with the Doctor at a restaurant, musing on his approaching death. A cold voice in the background narrates: "Because a shadow is falling over Creation. Something vast is stirring in the dark. The darkness heralds only one thing ... the end of Time itself!"
An exclusive preview of the specials (consisting of footage from scenes 4 and 5 of the first episode from just after the opening titles[66]) was shown during the 2009 Children in Need telethon on 20 November.[67] It shows the Doctor arriving at the Ood Sphere after some procrastination (including marrying Queen Elizabeth I), being welcomed by Ood Sigma and observing how unnaturally quickly their settlement has been constructed (100 years). Sharing the bad dreams of the Ood elders, the Doctor receives a vision of the Master in his mind and exclaims, "That man is dead!"[68]
The BBC released a further preview of the specials on its YouTube channel on 4 December.[69] New footage for this trailer includes: shots of the Master reappearing in a vortex of swirling energy while surrounded by various onlookers, including Lucy Saxon; David Harewood as Joshua Naismith ordering guards to "prepare the gate"; the partially-skeletised Master firing a beam of energy from his hand at the Doctor; the Master, with a collar fastened around his neck, pressing a button on a computer keyboard and speaking the line "My name is the Master."
Following the broadcast of Part 1, a trailer was released on the BBC-Doctor Who website that showed part 2. It starts with The Doctor saying that he thinks Time Lords live too long and is quickly followed by a shot of Wilf manning what looks like a gun turret on a space ship shooting at something and creating an explosion. A voice over of a woman explains that this will be The Doctor's final battle. Wilf is then shown handing his gun over to the Doctor claiming that he doesn't want him to die and then a figure at the controls of a crashing ship with the windows shattering everywhere. The Doctor is then shown brutally injured with the Master claiming that it will be spectacular. The Narrator is shown in front of a many cheering Time Lords saying "Galifrey rises" that is followed by The Doctor saying that the Time Lords are returning. The Master is shown celebrating his victory then the Narrator claims that "At last we are gathered for the end". Finally The Doctor and Wilf are shown before the trailer ends.
