Rumours

  • In the trailer for Stolen 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. Also, three Daleks in the new 30 second trailer are seen in a base with what appears to be an American flag and a sign on a desk similar to the base seen in The Poison Sky.
  • As the Daleks invade UNIT, Martha Jones manages to escape using a teleport, which takes her to New York.
  • 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 Judoon are the guards 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 in the next time trailer.
  • Jenny may come back. Unlikely as she is not listed in cast list.
  • 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. On the other hand if it is the end of the universe, space could be retracting.
  • The 'secret of the vault' has to do with the red Dalek.
  • The 'Children Of Time' are the Doctors companions.
  • In Doctor Who Confidential for the episode Turn Left, RTD mentioned that the TARDIS may be exploding, he also mentioned the fact that the bees are disappearing (and sounded surprised that it is happening in real life also), and that something from every episode would tie together in the finale.
  • Davros has created the Daleks by taking humans from the future and coming back in time to kill their 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. Furthermore, this concept has already been explored in The Parting of the Ways
  • The TARDIS has been turned into a Paradox machine. Again Unlikely.
  • River Song will return again. This is unlikely as River Song did not recognize 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 to could be the Medusa Cascade
  • Davros and a Dalek army were sealed in rift at the Medusa Cascade during the Time War but now they have freed themselves, causing a fracture in which all universes are collapsing. This gives Rose the ability to travel between worlds. Davros then wants to destroy the TARDIS inside the Medusa Cascade rift, or Cardiff rift, to blow a hole in time which will allow Skaro to be saved but could result in Gallifrey being restored.
  • Davros wants to destroy the Tardis inside the Medusa Cascade to blow a hole in time which will allow Davros to save Skaro.
  • It is rumoured that Gwen and/or Ianto will die as the trailer shows them huddled along with Jack who is saying he can't stop something, as Daleks invade the Hub. This would tie in with rumours of Martha, Rose and/or Mickey being recruited to Torchwood, as Jack would need new staff if they had been killed off. This seems highly unlikely as Gwen and Ianto are main characters on Torchwood. Main characters are rarely killed off outside their own shows. Plus there is a third series of Torchwood. Also 2 members of Torchwood already died in the second series finale and an online article stated that 2 new members would join the Torchwood cast.
  • The Judoon are servants of the Shadow Proclamation as they are "Intergalactic Police" and part of the function of the Shadow Proclamation appears to involve the upholding of galactic law.
  • The Children of time are the Doctor's companions. As Davros says "The Children of Time are moving against us" The Children of Time may also be the Time Lords, and Caan may have tricked Davros into thinking the Time War is still going on.
  • The Children of Time could be Time Lords, supporting the return of Gallifrey theory. That would mean there are now Time Lords.
  • The secret the Doctor has kept about the Time War is that he allowed Gallifrey to be stolen.
  • Another clue to the return of Gallifrey theory is, in The Fires of Pompeii, Evelina says The Doctor's name is hidden in the Medusa Cascade and the only people who could know his name are people from his home planet
  • Davros reveals that he has been in control of the Shadow Proclamation since he escaped back in Remembrance of the Daleks and that the Judoon find out that Davros has killed the Leaders of the Shadow Proclamation. Where as the Judoon, The Daleks and Davros all wage war to gain control of the Shadow Proclamation.

Dalek television stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.
