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.

Rumours

Confirmed

  • All the Tenth's Doctor's companions have been seen as appearing, except Martha and Mickey (so far).
  • It has been confirmed that Jessica Hynes will appear as Verity Newman and published The Journal Of Impossible Things [19]
  • Bernard Cribbins, will return to play Wilfred Mott, grandfather of Donna Noble, will act as the Doctor's companion in this two-part story.[20]
  • Timothy Dalton was seen on set wearing Time Lord robes: this could mean the return of the Time Lords. He is rumoured by some to be playing The Monk. [21]
  • The Ood will appear in this episode, as they may have been in the trailer.

Uncomfirmed

  • A poster on Gallifrey Base claimed that RTD told him that the story would consist of Nightmare Reigns or The Nightmare Child and The End of Time, but this has yet to have been confirmed.

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".
