'''Series 2''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' was [[David Tennant]]'s first full series as the [[Tenth Doctor]].  It wrote out [[Billie Piper]]'s [[Rose Tyler]] and briefly introduced the character of [[Donna Noble]].  Significantly, series 2 also served as a mild advertisement for the then-forthcoming ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' television series, since its main story arc established the origins of the [[Torchwood Institute]].  
'''Series 2''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ran from [[18 November (releases)|18 November]] [[2005 (releases)|2005]] to [[8 July (releases)|8 July]] [[2006 (releases)|2006]] . It starred [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]], [[Billie Piper]] as [[Rose Tyler]] and [[Noel Clarke]] as [[Mickey Smith]]. The regular series was preceded by {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}}, opened with {{cs|New Earth (TV story)}} and concluded with {{cs|Doomsday (TV story)}}.


Unlike [[series 1 (Doctor Who)|series 1]], the main production team did not feature [[Mal Young]]. Instead, [[Russell T Davies]] and [[Julie Gardner]] carried on as [[executive producer]]s and [[Phil Collinson]] continued in his role as the main [[producer]] — an arrangement that persisted through to [[series 4 (Doctor Who)|series 4]]'s ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]''.

Everything from the 2005 ''[[Children in Need Special (TV story)|Children in Need Special]]'' to ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' was a part of the series 2 [[production block]] — though the "regular season" is typically characterised as the stories from ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'' to ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]''.

== Overview ==
== Production ==
The main story arc for the season was the [[Torchwood Institute]], referenced only twice previously, which served to lead up to the final episodes as well as the ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' spinoff series. A secondary arc dealt with the development of the love story between Rose and the Doctor. Series 2 saw the return of the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] to television, and the return of companions [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and [[K9]]. Both were last seen (notwithstanding independent, fan-made productions) in [[1983]]; their successful return sparked the commissioning of a second spin-off series, ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'', for CBBC. The series 2 finale saw the introduction of [[Donna Noble]].

This was the first series to feature a "Doctor-lite" episode. These were episodes in which the Doctor (and, usually, his companion) only appears in one or two scenes, with the story carried by new, supporting characters. This allowed [[David Tennant]] to film two episodes at the same time. ''[[Love & Monsters (TV story)|Love & Monsters]]'' was the first episode to use this innovation, though it did not receive the same level of acclaim as later Doctor-lite episodes such as ''[[Blink (TV story)|Blink]]'' and ''[[Turn Left (TV story)|Turn Left]]''.

These were episodes in which the Doctor (and, usually, his companion) only appears in one or two scenes, with the story carried by new, supporting characters. This allowed [[David Tennant]] to film two episodes at the same time, and let the production team speed up the filming schedule. {{cs|Love & Monsters (TV story)}} was the first episode to use this innovation, though it did not receive the same level of acclaim as later Doctor-lite episodes such as {{cs|Blink (TV story)}} and {{cs|Turn Left (TV story)}}.


Each episode (not counting the specials) was accompanied by a short teaser "[[Tardisode]]" which was only viewable on the Internet; this experiment was not repeated for succeeding seasons, though several online prequels would once again be produced for [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|series 6]]; the Tardisodes were the first BBC-filmed ''Doctor Who'' productions since [[TV]]: ''[[Mission to the Unknown (TV story)|Mission to the Unknown]]'' in which neither the Doctor nor a companion appeared (with the exception of the Tardisode for [[TV]]: ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]'' which featured [[Mickey Smith]]).

{{Section stub|This section need images added.}}
All episodes of Series 2 were released in [[2006 (releases)|2006]] in both individual volumes and in box set form by [[BBC Worldwide|2|Entertain]] for Regions 2 and 4, and by [[Warner Home Video]] for Region 1.
 
In [[2014 (releases)|2014]] the series was re-released on DVD in the US, split into two volumes labelled "Part One" and "Part Two" respectively, mimicking the home video release of [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 6]] and [[Series 7 (Doctor Who 2005)|7]]. This release is missing much of the bonus content seen on the previous box set. Re-packaged versions of the complete series were also made available.

You may wish to consult Series 2 for other, similarly-named pages.

Series 2 of Doctor Who ran from 18 November 2005 to 8 July 2006 . It starred David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Billie Piper as Rose Tyler and Noel Clarke as Mickey Smith. The regular series was preceded by The Christmas Invasion [+]Loading...["The Christmas Invasion (TV story)"], opened with New Earth [+]Loading...["New Earth (TV story)"] and concluded with Doomsday [+]Loading...["Doomsday (TV story)"].

Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]

It consisted of twelve stories and fifteen episodes. It was David Tennant's first full series as the Tenth Doctor, wrote out Billie Piper's Rose Tyler and briefly introduced the character of Donna Noble. Significantly, series 2 also served as a mild advertisement for the then-forthcoming Torchwood television series, since its main story arc established the origins of the Torchwood Institute.

Unlike series 1, the main production team did not feature Mal Young. Instead, Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner carried on as executive producers and Phil Collinson continued in his role as the main producer — an arrangement that persisted through to series 4's Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"].

Everything from the 2005 Children in Need Special to Doomsday [+]Loading...["Doomsday (TV story)"] was a part of the series 2 production block — though the "regular season" is typically characterised as the stories from New Earth [+]Loading...["New Earth (TV story)"] to Doomsday [+]Loading...["Doomsday (TV story)"].

Production[[edit] | [edit source]]

The main story arc for the season was the Torchwood Institute, referenced only twice previously, which served to lead up to the final episodes as well as the Torchwood spinoff series. A secondary arc dealt with the development of the love story between Rose and the Doctor. Series 2 saw the return of the Cybermen to television and the return of companions Sarah Jane Smith and K9. Both were last seen (notwithstanding independent, fan-made productions) in 1983; their successful return sparked the commissioning of a second spin-off series, The Sarah Jane Adventures, for CBBC. The series 2 finale saw the introduction of Donna Noble.

This was the first series to feature a "Doctor-lite" episode. These were episodes in which the Doctor (and, usually, his companion) only appears in one or two scenes, with the story carried by new, supporting characters. This allowed David Tennant to film two episodes at the same time, and let the production team speed up the filming schedule. Love & Monsters [+]Loading...["Love & Monsters (TV story)"] was the first episode to use this innovation, though it did not receive the same level of acclaim as later Doctor-lite episodes such as Blink [+]Loading...["Blink (TV story)"] and Turn Left [+]Loading...["Turn Left (TV story)"].

Each episode (not counting the specials) was accompanied by a short teaser "Tardisode" which was only viewable on the Internet; this experiment was not repeated for succeeding seasons, though several online prequels would once again be produced for series 6; the Tardisodes were the first BBC-filmed Doctor Who productions since TV: Mission to the Unknown in which neither the Doctor nor a companion appeared (with the exception of the Tardisode for TV: School Reunion [+]Loading...["School Reunion (TV story)"] which featured Mickey Smith).

All episodes of Series 2 were released in 2006 in both individual volumes and in box set form by 2|Entertain for Regions 2 and 4, and by Warner Home Video for Region 1.

In 2014 the series was re-released on DVD in the US, split into two volumes labelled "Part One" and "Part Two" respectively, mimicking the home video release of Series 6 and 7. This release is missing much of the bonus content seen on the previous box set. Re-packaged versions of the complete series were also made available.
