List of episodes (2005–present)

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 episode begins with the narrator explaining how everybody on Earth has been having bad dreams (as is depicted to happen just before the world ends). However, nobody is able to remember their nightmares, except for one man: Wilfred Mott. Concerned about the visions he has been having - which consist of the Master laughing maniacally - Wilfred enters a church to hear a choir singing. A mysterious woman tells him about the blue box and the man who pilots it, and wonders if he is meant to return to save the Earth. Wilfred turns around, but the woman is gone - he then looks at the stained-glass window at the back of the church and sees that the TARDIS is indeed imprinted on the picture.

Meanwhile, the Doctor arrives on the Ood Sphere to meet Sigma, who had summoned him. The Doctor notices that the Ood have been building their colonies very rapidly; so fast that something must be accelerating their species. Sigma takes the Doctor to the Ood elders, who show him a vision depicting the Master, Wilfred, Lucy Saxon and Joshua Naismith, a man who the Doctor has not yet heard of. They say that the something stirring in the darkness may mean the end of time itself. The Doctor claims that the Master is dead, and refuses to accept the vision. The elders tell him that there was something that the Doctor did not foresee after the Master was shot by Lucy, and show him another vision of an old woman taking the Master's ring from his cremated body. Realising that part of the Master is still alive inside the ring, the Doctor hurriedly leaves for Earth.

Lucy Saxon, who has been imprisoned since the beginning of the Master's reign back in 2007, is taken from her cell by a strange group of people (one of them being the woman who was seen taking the ring) who turn out to be the Master's 'disciples'. They guide her to a dark chamber so she can witness the Master's resurrection. Using the Books of Saxon, some scriptures he wrote as guidelines for his disciples should they lose him, the group create a potion to bring him back to life. They then sacrifice their own lives to provide energy for him to feed on. The Master appears in the chamber in a whirl of darkness, and screams at Lucy about how he can never die. Knowing how evil the Master can be and unwilling to allow his resurrection, Lucy withdraws a second potion which her ancestors made by finding the exact opposites of the ingredients for the original and using them to create a basic anti-Master potion. She throws it at the Master and badly damages his life force, but he breaks away somehow and escapes.

Joshua Naismith, a wealthy man living with his daughter Abigail, finds a clip of what appears to be the Master in his new reformed state. Excited, he tells some scientists working in his lobby to prepare 'the gate', a large mechanism at the back of the room. The reborn Master enters a quarry featuring a burger stall to try and please the overwhelming hunger created by the loss of his life force. After savagely tearing his food apart, he attacks everybody in the area and kills them using some of his strange new powers.

The Doctor, who is watching over the quarry nearby, hears the Master trying to summon him by bashing a metal barrel with a pole. He finds the Master and chases him, but fails to catch up with him and is found by Wilfred, who has been searching for him with a group of people to try and find out about the strange visions in his dreams. Wilfred takes the Doctor to a cafe and begins to ask him about the visions, but then shows him that Donna, who is getting on with her new life and has a boyfriend. Wilfred wishes for the Doctor to go and speak to her, but he can't because there will always be the risk of her mind burning up if she sees him again (as the Doctor warned in Journey's End).

Once again, the Doctor is able to locate the Master at the quarry. The Master weakens him with his powers, then tells him that he can still hear the drums in his head all the time and that he still doesn't know what they mean. He creates a psychic link between their minds, and when the Doctor also hears it, he too is confused as to what it means. Thrilled to discover that the sound of the drums is real and that he is not just insane, the Master tries to flee, but armed forces suddenly enter the quarry, sedate the Master and lift him out of the area before the Doctor can stop them.

When Wilfred is in his lounge with his family, he is contacted by the strange woman from the beginning of the episode again, this time through the TV. She tells him that he is the only person on Earth who can see her, and that he should prepare for the things to come. She then tells him that he must not tell the Doctor about her, and that the Doctor's life may depend on him. The Master is taken to the Naismiths, who apparently need him to repair the gate - two scientists there are actually undercover aliens who wish to steal it once it is complete. As the Master begins to fix it, the Doctor picks up Wilfred from his house and quickly leaves before Donna notices him or the TARDIS. After arriving at the Naismith residence, the Doctor hides the TARDIS and enters one of the rooms which the aliens are using to communicate when nobody else is around. He asks the aliens why the gate is so important and what its function is. The aliens explain that the gate (or 'Immortality Gate', as it is actually being called) is able to heal people (hence its name) and that Joshua wishes to use it to make Abigail immortal. The aliens then add that the machine can actually transfer the biological pattern of the person using the gate to every other human being on Earth. Just as he learns this, the Doctor runs into the lobby as the Master breaks free and leaps into the completed gate.

The Master's pattern is transferred to every human on Earth, although Wilfred and Donna are not affected. The transforming humans begin to violently shake as their patterns change. Donna, who is seeing her boyfriend and mother change, is reminded of her endeavours with the Doctor and collapses as her mind begins to burn. The human race is changed into a new race which consists entirely of billions of perfect copies of the Master - he calls this new empire the 'Master race'.

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 be addressing a large hall of fellow Time Lords. The Narrator 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.
