'''Series 2''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', occasionally known as '''Season 28''', it ran between [[April]] [[2006]] and [[December]] [[2006]] and starred [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Billie Piper]] as [[Rose Tyler]]. | |||
==Overview== | |||
Each episode (except for the specials) was accompanied by a short teaser "[[Tardisode]]" which was only viewable on the Internet; this experiment was not repeated for succeeding seasons and the Tardisodes were not included in the DVD release. The main story arc for the season was the [[Torchwood Institute]], referenced only twice previously, which served to lead up to the finale episodes as well as the ''[[Torchwood]]'' spinoff series. A secondary arc dealt with Rose's growing infatuation with the Doctor. Series 2 saw the return of the [[Cybermen]] to television (albeit an alternate-universe version), and the return of companions [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and [[K-9]] (both last seen, notwithstanding independent, fan-made productions, in [[1983]]); their appearance sparked the commissioning of a second spin-off series, ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'',and the introduction of [[Donna Noble]]. | |||
This was the first series to feature a "Doctor-lite" episode. These were episodes in which the Doctor (and, usually, his companion) only appear in one or two scenes, with the story carried by new, supporting characters. This allowed [[David Tennant]] to film two episodes at the same time. ''[[Love and Monsters]]'' was the first episode to use this innovation, though it did not receive the same level of acclaim later Doctor-lite episodes such as ''[[Blink]]'' and ''[[Turn Left]]'' achieved. | This was the first series to feature a "Doctor-lite" episode.
