The Doctor versus a fleet of Daleks
2 November 2006
Warning: Spoilers
After the suspense following the end of the last episode, The Doctor and Jack Harkness fly the TARDIS through a fleet of Dalek ships to save Rose, and they are introduced to the Emperor of the Daleks, who is something of a god to the Daleks.

As the Daleks declare war on the humans, the only thing in their way is the Doctor, the only one the Daleks fear, the Last Time Lord. To save Rose from the devastation that is to follow, he sends her back home to her own time. However, Rose is determined to find a way to get back to the Doctor to help him end what seems to be an increasingly dire attempt to defeat the Daleks. Can she find a way to reactivate the TARDIS with the help of her mother and her boyfriend Mickey? But, if anyone can think of a way to defeat the Daleks, it is the Doctor. But, has his luck finally run out, after 900 years of travelling and eight regenerations since he crash-landed on Earth in 1963?

I have only one problem with this episode. Although there is great tension built up and some great fight scenes, it all seems to be brought to an end far too quickly, and if you want a great climactic fight scene, I'm afraid you're going to be denied. But, you will get a fantastically emotional finish...

Trivia: This episode introduces the magnificent David Tennant as the tenth Doctor.
