Template:Pre-broadcast spoiler
- Note: The title used for this article comes from the tagline used on the first teaser trailer unveiled at the San Diego ComicCon on 26th July 2009. It has not yet been confirmed by the BBC. As such, it is subject to change as the broadcast date approaches.
A two-part Doctor Who special will be broadcast during the 2009–2010 Christmas season. This will be the last story for David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor prior to the character's regeneration into his eleventh incarnation, who will be played by Matt Smith. It will also be the last Doctor Who story written by Russell T Davies, who shepherded the series' return to British television in 2005 and has been the series' executive producer and chief writer since. Davies will be succeeded as executive producer and showrunner by Steven Moffat.

Trailers
A teaser trailer was shown at Comic-Con 2009. The voiceover is provided by Timothy Dalton.
"It is said that in the final days of planet Earth, everyone had bad dreams".
An unknown person laughs after this.
We then see multiple clips, including those of the Tenth Doctor, what may be a crazed Ood, Donna Noble, Wilfred Mott, Sylvia Noble and a unknown man, David Harewood as an unknown character (possibly called Joshua Naismith), and a hooded man. There is a rumor, that one of the unknown men (shown only the eyes and nose before the Ood) is Christopher Eccleston, the Ninth Doctor
The mood is very dark. A female voice says "He returns". The voice belongs to Lucy Saxon. Then the Master is shown, with a dyed, blonde hair. He says, "My name is the Master". The tag line at the end of the trailer is "The End of Time", "Christmas 2009".
