Rumours
- In the trailer for Stolen Erth 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.
- 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 Doctor isn't at war, or fighting, the Judoon. The Judoon are the defence 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 the next time trailer.
- Jenny may come back
- 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.
- The 'secret of the vault' is to 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.
- Davros has created the daleks by taking humans from the future and coming back in time to kill thier 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.
- The TARDIS has been turned into a Paradox machine. Again
- River Song will return again. This is unlikely as River Song did not recognise 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 too could be the Medusa Cascade
- Davros and a Dalek army were sealed in 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 to blow a hole in time which will allow Skaro to be saved but could result in Gallifrey being restored. The Doctor has implied that the Medusa Cascade is merely a system of planets.
- 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 unlikely as Torchwood and Sarah Jane are spin offs and would be unlikely to kill them them off. Plus there is a third series of Torchwood. Also 2 members of Torchwood died in the second series finale.
- 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 be the Time Lords, and Caan may have tricked Dervos into thinking the Time War is still going on.
