Story notes
- According to DWM this is the biggest finale of Doctor Who ever.
- Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones operates a Dalek in this episode, returning to Doctor Who since his brief appearance as a Cyberman in The Age of Steel.
- This will be the longest series finale at 65 minutes long, longer even than most of the Christmas specials, except for Voyage of the Damned, which was 71 minutes.
- Dalek Caan refers to the Doctor as a 'threefold man'. The meaning becomes clear in this episode with both the copy of the Doctor and 'Doctor-Donna'.
- This episode marks the first series finale to show a preview of the upcoming Christmas Special. After the credits the Cybermen are said to return in the episode.
- This episode tells us that Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister, actually died in the previous episode.
Ratings
to be added
Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors
- If the TARDIS's power had gone how does the moniter screen work? The heart of the TARDIS was still beating. Which could have supplied some power.
- When Martha teleports and hears the german daleks how come the TARDIS does not translate the german? The TARDIS wasn't anywhere near her... Also, she understood German, so it wouldn't have needed to be translated.
- The Dalek's were maintaining the atmosphere around the Earth - probably from the crucible, however when the Crucible was destroyed and the Tardis pulled the Earth back to where it should be, shouldn't the atmosphere have disappeared killing everyone on Earth? The Doctor takes over and maintaines the atmosphere from the TARDIS, he says this when he tows the Earth back
- Since Donna can't remember anything about the Doctor or her time with him, would she "burn up" if someone mentioned Pompeii, since she went there and caused the eruption in The Fires of Pompeii. No, because she can't remember having anything to do with it.
- When the Doctor wiped Donna's mind, it looked like he only wiped the memories of the her time with the Doctor. Couldn't he have just wiped the time lord stuff that was overloading her brain? No, as if she remembers the Time Lord stuff she will burn up, and it would be easy to remember if you're travelling around with one!
- Wouldn't the Nuclear Warheads placed under the crust have melted? Well, UNIT most likely would have thought about this, and provided some sort of way to protect them. They do have a vast arsenal in their power after all.
- When we see Martha saying goodbye to her Mother, the laptop in the background cycling through number continuously, but when we have the close-up of Martha, the numbers have frozen but we can still hear them
- If Donna, a human, can't live with a timelord's mind; doesn't that mean neither can the human Doctor? The human Doctor was half time lord, the mental half time lord, such as mind, but the physical part human (like Jenny), such as aging.
- What was the point of the doctor deactivating jacks wrist teleporter if he can just put the numbers back in again. He may have locked it so only he can reactivate it.
- At the start, when the scene of The Doctor putting the regenaration energy on to the hand he has no head (very funny)
