The Doctor and Donna visit the alien leisure planet, Midnight.
Synopsis
The Doctor is trapped, alone, powerless and terrified, on the planet Midnight, as Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues. Soon, the knocking on the wall begins. Only a woman called Sky seems to know the truth – but as paranoia turns into a witch-hunt, Sky turns the Doctor's greatest strengths against him, and a sacrifice must be made...

Rumours
- The Doctor will disappear at the end of the episode leading onto Turn Left which is the Doctor lite episode. This is not true as the TARDIS visits the planet Shan Shen in Turn Left.
- It will include a plane or spaceship crash (as shown in trailer). It is not a plane or spaceship but a shuttle bus.
- This episode focuses on the Doctor and he is scared by the knocking on the wall.
- The monster is the planet! the planet is alive and the humans who have inhabited it are taking its beautiful look and its jewels away!Far too much like 42. Very Unlikely
