Myths

Rumours
- In the trailer for Stolen Erth earth It appears to show a Dalek entering Torchwood three (Cardiff).
- A leaked picture shows Dalek Caan (in gold armour, NOT red) with his front taken off, exposing the "true Dalek" inside. He is (unknown if willingly) connected to a cloning machine (in keeping with the clone theme of series 4) which is used to produce all the other Daleks seen in the episode.
- It is rumored Davros speedily created the new Dalek race by using a progenation machine similar to the one shown in The Doctor's Daughter or a cloning machine.
- The Daleks invade UNIT. In the mid series trailer some Daleks were seen with the UNIT logo behind them. There is also a character called General Sanchez who is said to work for UNIT.
- Harriet Jones is either inside a normal Dalek casing or the Red Dalek casing.
- The Eighth-Ninth Doctor Regeneration is explained.
- Gallifrey is restored. This is a possibility as it has been rumoured that RTD wants to erase all he has changed in Doctor Who, ready for when Steven Moffat takes over.
- Planets disappearing has been a recurring theme in series 4 and now that the Earth has been 'stolen' it appears to be the next one.
- Gallifrey is one of the stolen planets and is restored at the end of the battle.
- The Doctor isn't at war, or fighting, the Judoon. The Judoon are the defence for the Shadow Proclamation.
- Donna may look into the heart of the TARDIS and become the Bad Wolf entity. The Doctor (If he is trapped in the Medusa Cascade) will not be able to help her.
- The BBC One website states that Francine Jones, Martha's mother, will reappear in this episode. The website doesn't include Harriet Jones, despite her appearing the next time trailer.
- Jenny may come back
- Earth is not in its own solar system, it is seen in the trailer with planets not from our solar system,close enough to be seen by the naked eye on earth.
- The 'secret of the vault' is Davros.
- The 'Children Of Time' are the Daleks.
- In Doctor Who Confidential for the episode Turn Left, RTD mentioned that the TARDIS may be exploding.
- Davros has created the daleks by taking humans from the future and coming back in time to kill thier ancestors in a similar way to The Sound of Drums and Last of the Time Lords. This conflicts with the rumor that Davros is using Dalek Caan as a template for new Daleks.
- The TARDIS has been turned into a Paradox machine. Again
- River Song will return again. This is unlikely as River Song did not recognise Donna in Silence in the Library.
- The Universe is shattering which gives Rose the ability to cross between worlds
- There are other worlds, capable for people on Earth to see with the naked eye, so it is possible that planets are being moved to another galaxy for a parralel world, meaning the Earth has been stolen
- This place the planets are being taken too could be the Medusa Cascade
