List of episodes

This is the first series to feature David Tennant as the tenth incarnation of the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in his TARDIS, which appears to be a British police box on the outside. The Doctor continues to travel with his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), with whom he has grown increasingly attached. They also briefly travel with Rose's boyfriend Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), and Rose's mother Jackie (Camille Coduri). The series is connected by a loose story arc consisting of the recurring word "Torchwood". This is also the first series to be preceded by a Christmas special, the success of "The Christmas Invasion" led to the Christmas special becoming an annual tradition.

After the Doctor has fully recovered, he challenges the Sycorax leader to a sword fight for the future of the Earth, which he eventually wins.

Cassandra possesses Rose's body as she is in need of one. The Doctor and Cassandra discover that the hospital holds hundreds of artificially-grown humans that have been infected with diseases so the Sisters of Plenitude can find their cures.

The Doctor and Rose arrive in Scotland in 1879, where Queen Victoria invites them to the Torchwood Estate. Unknown to them, the estate has been captured by a group of monks who have brought a werewolf in hopes to infect Queen Victoria and establish an "Empire of the Wolf". The Doctor notices the trap and tries to shield himself, Victoria, and Rose from the werewolf. He learns that the estate was designed as a trap for the werewolf as it contains a large telescope which, with Victoria's Koh-i-Noor diamond and full moonlight, can kill the werewolf. Though they save her, Queen Victoria is unnerved by the Doctor and Rose's modern eccentricities and founds the Torchwood Institute to defend Britain from further alien attacks.

She and her robotic dog K9 join up with the Doctor, Rose, and Mickey. Toegther, they discover that the teachers are actually Krillitanes and the chips are coated with Krillitane oil, intended to make the children intelligent enough to decode the "Skasis Paradigm", a theory of everything, giving the Krillitanes full control of time and space. The Doctor refuses to join the Krillitanes and evacuates the children. K9 detonates the chip oil container, destroying the Krillitanes, the school, and K9 himself. Sarah Jane declines the Doctor's offer to travel with him, suggesting Mickey do so instead. Departing, the Doctor gives her a brand new model of K9.

On the ship, the Doctor and his companions discover more time windows into Reinette's life in 18th-century Versailles and see that the clockwork droids continue stalking her, but do not consider her "complete". The Doctor discovers that the droids murdered the ship's human crew and recycled some of their organs for use in the ship but still needs Reinette's brain to be fully functional. The brain must be 37 years old, the age of the ship; it is actually named after Madame de Pompadour. The Doctor manages to arrive at some point after her 37th birthday, and saves her from the droids, who shut down because they have no way of returning to their ship. With Reinette safe, the Doctor uses the fireplace to travel to the spaceship. When he returns, he discovers that seven years have passed, and Reinette has died. Downhearted, the Doctor and his companions depart in the TARDIS.

A major problem with the TARDIS causes the Doctor, Rose, and Mickey to reach a parallel universe, with no way of getting back home for 24 hours. In the parallel universe, Rose's father Pete is still alive and most of humanity wears EarPods that feed information directly into the wearer's brain. The EarPods are designed by John Lumic, who is trying to give them an "upgrade" which will ultimately turn the humans into Cybermen. Though he has not received permission to do this, he has been abducting and converting numerous homeless people. Mickey is mistaken for his parallel universe self Ricky and is taken by Jake Simmonds, a member of a gang called the "Preachers" who are aware of the dangers of the EarPods. Cybermen begin attacking a birthday party at which the Doctor and Rose are posing as waiters. They, along with Pete, escape and run into Mickey and the Preachers, but the Cybermen close in on them.

Eventually, Mrs Moore is killed and the Doctor, Rose, and Pete are captured by the Cybermen and taken to Lumic, who has become the Cyber Controller. Mickey and Jake disable the transmitter on the zeppelin, freeing the humans who had not been converted. Mickey hacks Lumic's database to find the code to cancel every Cyberman's emotional inhibitor and sends it to Rose's phone; the Doctor plugs the phone into the computer systems which changes the signal and sends the Cybermen into despair. They escape the exploding factory on the zeppelin and Pete cuts the ladder Lumic is climbing up, sending him to his death. Mickey decides to stay and help fix the parallel universe with Jake and take care of Ricky's grandmother, as he understands Rose prefers the Doctor.

The Doctor and Rose land in London in 1953 on the day before Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. The Doctor befriends teenager Tommy Connolly, whose grandmother is hidden because she lacks any facial features and has no brain activity, a phenomenon that is common with those who have purchased television sets sold cheap for the coronation from Magpie Electricals, owned by Mr Magpie. Rose, investigating the shop, finds that Mr Magpie is under the influence of an entity known as "the Wire", a fugitive who has converted herself to an electrical form and is using the televisions – and intends to use the upcoming coronation – to consume enough minds to rebuild its body; she takes Rose's face as well. In discovery of this, the Doctor is outraged and foils the Wire's plan with a device he creates, and those whose minds and faces were consumed are returned and London can safely watch the coronation.

The Doctor and Rose arrive on a base on a planet which is impossibly orbiting a black hole. The crew of the base are there on an expedition to drill to the middle of the planet. A race of aliens known as the Ood serve them. A quake strikes the planet, causing several sections of the base, including the one where the TARDIS was, to fall into the planet. As the drill nears the planet's centre, the Ood begin foretelling the awakening of a "Beast", which possesses archaeologist Toby Zed and later the Ood. The drilling finishes, and the Doctor offers to go with Ida Scott to the depths of the planet, where they discover a disc with unreadable markings found on the base and the possessed Toby's face. The Doctor believes the disc to be a door, and as it begins to open the possessed Toby tells Rose that the planet has begun to fall into the black hole and the voice of the Beast announces that he is free.

Ida and the Doctor investigate the door and Rose and the other members of the crew witness a force leaving Toby's body and assume that he is no longer possessed. The Doctor descends into the dark pit and the Beast speaks to him, revealing he is the epitome of evil of several religions and has been sealed inside the planet, but is seeking to escape. The Doctor runs out of rope and believes he can survive the drop and falls, the news of which distresses Rose. Most of the crew and Rose escape from the Ood and board and launch an escape rocket. The Doctor survives the crash and finds the physical form of the Beast. The Doctor realises his consciousness has managed to escape. Having faith in Rose, the Doctor triggers the sequence for the Beast and the planet to fall into the black hole, but as the Beast's consciousness is inside Toby the rocket begins to pull toward the black hole. Rose realises this and releases Toby from the rocket, and the Doctor finds the TARDIS in the pit and uses it to rescue Rose.

Later, two members of the group mysteriously go missing, and one day Ursula and Elton return to the meeting room , where Kennedy reveals himself to be an Abzorbaloff, who has absorbed the other three LINDA members.

The Doctor and Rose arrive in a London neighbourhood just prior to the start of the 2012 Olympic Games. Children have been disappearing and the Doctor and Rose discover the source is a 12-year-old girl named Chloe Webber, who can cause people to disappear by drawing them. The Doctor finds that she is possessed by an Isolus, an alien life form that has crashed on Earth and can relate to Chloe's loneliness. For the Isolus to leave Chloe's body, they must find the Isolus's pod and give it power; Rose finds it under just-poured tar in the street and is able to power it by throwing it into the Olympic Torch as it comes by the street, giving the pod heat and emotional strength. As the missing children reappear, the demon-like drawing of Chloe's violent and dead father comes to life, but Chloe's mother calms Chloe's fears. The Isolus peacefully leaves Chloe's body.
177a	12	"Army of Ghosts"	Graeme Harper	Russell T Davies	1 July 2006 (2006-07-01)	2.12	8.19	86
The Doctor and Rose visit Jackie and learn that for a few months the Earth has experienced silhouettes which appear at a certain time each day around the world. The public have accepted these as ghosts. However, the Doctor thinks they are the impressions of something forcing its way into the universe and tracks the source to the headquarters of a secret organisation known as Torchwood, hidden in Canary Wharf. Torchwood's director Yvonne Hartman reveals that the ghosts are a result of a breach in the universe which a spherical "void ship", kept at Torchwood, has arrived. Three employees of Torchwood are manipulated to open the breach, which breaks down and causes millions of the ghosts to appear worldwide and shift into their true form of the Cybermen from the parallel universe. However, the Cybermen merely followed the void ship through the breach, and the ship is revealed to contain four Daleks.
177b	13	"Doomsday"	Graeme Harper	Russell T Davies	8 July 2006 (2006-07-08)	2.13	8.22	89
The four Daleks, later identified as the Cult of Skaro, have brought a device known as the Genesis Ark through the breach and declare war on the Cybermen and the two races begin fighting worldwide. Meanwhile, the Doctor has discovered that Jake Simmonds, Pete Tyler, and Mickey – who masqueraded as a Torchwood employee and is with Rose and the Daleks – have been able to travel between the universes. The Cult of Skaro is keeping Rose and Mickey alive because they, being time travellers, would activate the Genesis Ark, which the Daleks are incapable of as it is stolen Time Lord technology. The Doctor plans to open the breach, which will pull in anyone who has crossed the Void including the Daleks, Cybermen, and Rose's family, and then close the breach. Rose refuses to reside in the parallel universe and stays to help the Doctor, but she is unable to hold on and becomes marooned in the parallel universe. The Doctor is able to transmit his image through one of the final breaches, and the two share a tearful goodbye before a mysterious woman in a wedding dress appears in the TARDIS.^[N 2]

Casting

Main characters

Series 2 was David Tennant's first in the role of the Doctor after he was cast on 28 April 2005.^[10][11][12] Following his brief appearance in the closing moments of "The Parting of the Ways" he was next seen in the Children in Need special, broadcast on 18 November 2005. "The Christmas Invasion", broadcast one month later, marked his first full episode.^[13]

 

Piper returned as the Tenth Doctor's companion, having previously served as the Ninth Doctor's companion in the first series.^[14]

In 2005, Tennant was starring in Casanova, written by Russell T Davies and produced by Julie Gardner, when he was offered an audition as the Tenth Doctor, following Christopher Eccleston's departure from the role in 2005. "Casanova ended up being my kind of audition for Doctor Who, although I was completely unaware of it at the time because I didn't know they were looking for anyone," recalled Tennant in 2016. Tennant was invited to Davies's home, where he was told that he would be their ideal choice for the Tenth Doctor.^[15][16]

Billie Piper continued her role as companion Rose Tyler, for her second and final series.^[17] Noel Clarke's character Mickey Smith, a recurring guest character during the first series, featured in several episodes.^[18]

Guest stars

Camille Coduri continued to guest in the series as recurring character Jackie Tyler. Shaun Dingwall returned for several episodes as Pete Tyler and Penelope Wilton reprised her role as Harriet Jones for the Christmas special.^[19][20]

Elisabeth Sladen featured in the episode "School Reunion", returning to the character of Sarah Jane Smith, companion of the Third and Fourth Doctors.^[21][22] Following this episode, Sladen was asked to reprise her role in a spin-off series titled The Sarah Jane Adventures.^[23] John Leeson also featured in this episode as the voice of K9.^[21]

Other guest stars included Adam Garcia and Daniel Evans in "The Christmas Invasion",^[24] Anna Hope and Adjoa Andoh in "New Earth",^[25][26] Anthony Head in "School Reunion",^[22] Roger Lloyd-Pack in "Rise of the Cybermen" / "The Age of Steel",^[27] Rory Jennings, and Margaret John in "The Idiot's Lantern",^[28][29] Claire Rushbrook, and in "The Impossible Planet" / "The Satan Pit",^[30] Nina Sosanya in "Fear Her",^[31] Raji James and Barbara Windsor in "Army of Ghosts" / "Doomsday".^[32][33] Freema Agyeman appeared briefly in "Doomsday"; she would later return to co-star as Martha Jones in the third series.^[34] Pauline Collins, who appeared in "Tooth and Claw" as Queen Victoria, had previously appeared in The Faceless Ones as a different character. Collins was offered the chance to become a companion, but turned it down.^[35][36] Nicholas Hoult was considered for the role that went to Jennings.^[28]

Production

 

David Tennant replaced Christopher Eccleston who left after one series.^[37]

Development

Following the success of the opening episode of the first series, the BBC announced that Doctor Who had been recommissioned for both a second series and a Christmas special on 30 March 2005.^[38] The series was the first series of Doctor Who to be preceded by a Christmas special.^[39] The success of the Christmas special led to it becoming an annual tradition.^[40] Production on the series began on 1 August 2005^[41] and concluding on 31 March 2006.^[42]

Writing

Russell T Davies continued to act as head writer and executive producer, contributing several episodes of the series.^[43] New writers for the show included Toby Whithouse,^[44] Tom MacRae,^[45] Matt Jones,^[46] and Matthew Graham.^[47] Returning writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat also contributed episodes to the series.^[48][49] Stephen Fry was due to write Episode 11, but was forced to withdraw as he could not complete the script in time.^[47][50][51] In consequence, Davies hired Graham to write "Fear Her".^[47]

The series is primarily set on Earth (though not as much as the first series was), due to the cost involved in creating another planet, according to Davies. Only two stories are set on another planet.^[52]

The second series encompassed a loose story arc based around the word "Torchwood", an anagram of "Doctor Who",^[53][54] which first appeared in the 2005 episode "Bad Wolf".^[55] The mythology of Torchwood is built across the series; in "The Christmas Invasion" it is revealed to be a secret organisation which possesses alien technology,^[56] and its establishment is shown in "Tooth and Claw".^[57] Contemporary Torchwood is finally visited by the Doctor and Rose in "Army of Ghosts" / "Doomsday", at which point it is situated within London's Canary Wharf and accidentally allows the invasion of the Cybermen and, subsequently, the Daleks.^[57] The Doctor and Rose are forcibly separated by these events, which lead to Rose's entrapment within a parallel universe.^[58]

Production team

Phil Collinson produced all episodes, with Julie Gardner as executive producer. The series was directed by James Hawes,^[59] Euros Lyn, James Strong, Dan Zeff and Graeme Harper, who had directed episodes of the programme's original run.

Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack

Doctor Who soundtrack chronology
Doctor Who: Devils' Planets – The Music of Tristram Cary (2003) Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack (2006) Doctor Who: Series 3 (2007)

Murray Gold returned to compose the music for the second series.^[63] Parts of the soundtrack were performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and orchestrated by Ben Foster, unlike in the first series, which was purely reliant on orchestral samples.^[64][65]

Selected pieces of score from the first series, second series, and "The Runaway Bride", as composed by Murray Gold, were released on 4 December 2006 by Silva Screen Records.^[66] The cues from the first series were re-recorded by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the original music having been created using orchestral samples.^[67]

Gold's arrangement of the main theme featured samples from the 1963 original with further elements added: an orchestral sound of low horns, strings and percussion and part of the Dalek ray-gun and TARDIS materialisation sound effects. Included on the album are two versions of the theme: the 44-second opening version, as arranged by Gold, and a longer arrangement that includes the middle eight, after Gold omitted the "middle eight" from both the opening and closing credits. Gold has said that his interpretation was driven by the title visual sequence he was given to work around. Often erroneously cited as being the same as the end credits version, this second version is in fact a new arrangement and recording.^[68][69]

Reception

Critical reception

Doctor Who's second series received positive reviews from critics.^[94][95] Series 2 holds a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average score of 9/10, based on seven critic reviews,^[96] with many praising the finale "Doomsday" as one of the best episodes.^[94][95][97]

Edward Cleary of Screen Rant ranked the series sixth of thirteen, noting that, while the series "stumbles slightly" following the relaunch of the show, the chemistry between Billie Piper and David Tennant overshadowed these problems. Cleary described Piper and Tennant as one of the best duos in Doctor Who history. He described the episodes "The Impossible Planet" / "The Satan Pit" as being one of the "best two-parters ever".^[94]

CBR's Gabriela Delgado noted that the series was the second highest rated on IMDb of Doctor Who's modern run, only behind the fourth series. Delgado praised "Doomsday", calling the episode "heart wrenching" and "tragic".^[98] In a ranking for Digital Spy, Morgan Jeffery and Rebecca Cook ranked the series as the fourth best, praising the performance of Tennant. They believed that the second series brought the show new levels of success, by increasing the popularity of the show and securing its future.^[99]
