It's coming, Donna. It's coming from across the stars and nothing can stop it...
Synopsis
Donna’s entire world collapses, but there’s no sign of the Doctor, as Russell T Davies’s Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues. Instead, she finds help from a mysterious blonde woman – a traveller from a parallel universe.

Story notes
- Without The Doctor's intervention, Martha Jones dies when the Judoon attack the hospital where she works. Sarah Jane Smith also dies in the hospital.
- Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper & Ianto Jones die destroying the Sontarans
- This is the first story to feature Rose in a starring role since Doomsday.
- Lucius Petrus Dextrus from The Fires of Pompeii says that "she is returning" when seeing the future. This is most likely a reference to Rose's return in this episode.
- Billie Piper was seen at the end of Partners in Crime, as well as a short cameo in The Poison Sky and another in Midnight.
- Chipo Chung was last seen in the episode Utopia as the Malmooth, Chantho. She plays a human character in this story.
- This is the 'Doctor-lite' episode of the series, similar to Love and Monsters and Blink, albeit with a much darker storyline.
- A reference to something on Donna's back was last heard in The Fires of Pompeii when Lucius Petrus Dextrus saw into the future 'something on your back' is a back story arc as it has never been mentioned up to this episode.
- In DWM it said that Donna will receive a free tarot card reading and find out something bad is going to happen. When she is receiving it there will also be something behind her lurking in the curtains. The Tarot person will also look for a specific event in Donna's pasT. The Fortune Teller Is Also Meant To Be The One Who Causes The Destruction By Sending Donna To An Alternate Reality Where She Never Meet The Doctor So He Died At The Hands Of The Racnoss
- Part of this episode is filmed in China Town, though not the one in London, but recreated in Cardiff. Chinese people living in South Wales were invited to be background extras via Facebook at the end of 2007. They had to reply to the Doctor Who casting crew with their name and sizes for costumes to be made for them and they were paid approx £70 for the day. David Tennant was seen in 'China Town' when he took time out of filming though staying on location to appear on Blue Peter to appeal to viewers to donate shoes to their Shoebiz appeal.

Continuity
- In The Sontaran Strategem the Sat Nav kept saying Turn Left. This could have something to do with this episode.
- The explanations above for what would've happened of the Doctor died take on a similar context to the Unbound series and DWM:Time & Time Again
- Captain Jack mentioned telling someone they should have turned left during a joke in 'Boom Town' In fact, a few of the episodes from the new series have the phrase turn left in them.
DVD and Other releases
- This is due to be released in the Series 4 boxset in November 2008 along with the rest of the Series.
- It will be released as Series 4 Volume 4 alongside The Stolen Earth and Journey's End in September 2008.
