  • General Sanchez is heard saying "Ladies and gentlemen, we are at war." This was last said by Captain Jack Harkness in The Parting Of The Ways.

Story notes

This episode was the last of Series 4 to have its title revealed.

  • This is the third time that the Daleks have returned with a leader in a finale. In the 2005 finale, The Parting of the Ways, the Daleks were led by the Dalek Emperor and in 2006 finale, Doomsday, Dalek Sec led the Cult of Skaro. The Other Dalek two parter in 2007 Series was shown as the 4th & 5th Episodes of the Series (Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks). The Daleks were the Cult of Skaro.
  • Davros refers to Donna Noble, Martha Jones, Rose Tyler, and possibly the minor companions as The Children Of Time.
  • Sarah Jane Smith has already had past experience in dealing and/or fighting against Davros with The Doctor, albeit in his fourth incarnation. However Sarah Jane could be the one with the knowledge about how to destroy Davros and the circumstances on which he came to Earth. She may prove vital in the battle to come.

In the preview shown, Upon hearing the Dalek Message, Jack and Sarah Jane both become very emotional, with Jack declaring that he can't do anything, and that they will die.

Rumours

  • The Children Of Time are the Doctor's companions, who have traveled in time but not as long as the Daleks, Davros, the Doctor etc, hence the term "Children". This means Rose, Mickey, Martha, Donna and possibly Sarah Jane and Captain Jack Harkness.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • The Judoon are the guards for the Shadow Proclamation.
  • According to Digital Spy, a female that we know very well will be exterminated in this episode. However, this extermination might not be permanent, due to the fact that we are unaware of any of the three major companions (Rose, Donna, Martha) being absent in Journey's End. However, Digital Spy never said the word 'companion', so it is possible that it is someone else that we know very well. (In 'Doctor Who Mag' Elizabeth Sladen says something about how Journey's End could be the last time she meets the Doctor...But this also buts conflict with the second series of SJA) Or it could be either Jackie Tyler, Harriet Jones or Francine Jones. However, Digital Spy were also very careful in calling the character a woman, instead referring to her as "a female". This could be a referrence to Myfanwy, the Torchwood pteradon.

It is likely to be Harriet Jones, as she was became a sort of enemy of the Doctor's but she still trusted him. It is unlikely that one of the companions would be killed off, so Harriet Jones is likely.

  • Donna Noble is revealed to be a Time Lord
  • Earth has been moved to another location (Hence the title Stolen Earth)It is worth noting that in the exclusive clip released before the airing of the episode, when Mr. Smith relays the Dalek Warcry to Sarah, several other celestial bodies are visible in close proximity to the earth, almost confirming that earth has been moved to another location, or at least, that other planets have been moved to earth's location.
  • A total of 27 planets have been stolen.
  • Davros is taking over planets to use them as cloning planets like the Sontaran's cloning planets.
  • This will show every companions point of view but they will not meet up until a member of the Shadow Proclamation (guarded by the Judoon) summons the Doctor and the companions near the end or the Shadow Proclamation member tell the Doctor to build an army.
  • Some people have said that the Doctor will get trapped in the Medusa Cascade. This fits with RTD's claim that the Medusa Cascade will come back to haunt us.
  • Adam Mitchell is some how "linked" to the or a "new" Davros

What happened to Adam is, as yet, unknown and he gave into temptation last time. Besides, he existed in the year 2012. It's currently 2009

  • There is a botched regeneration of some sort and there are 2 doctors running about...both of which are played by David Tennant...blue suit doctor and brown suit doctor. One of the Doctors could be from a parralel universe (why should a botched regeneration result in a totaly new suit?)
  • The "stolen" planets move towards earth. This is confirmed by the exclusive clip of The Stolen Earth as many planets can be seen very close to Earth on Mr Smith in the background.

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.
