The Doctor cheats death, he and his immediate companions are rounded up and transported to the Dalek Crucible. Sarah Jane, Jackie and Mickey are transported as prisoners, while Martha is off to Germany to set up the Osterhagen key. The Doctor, Rose and Jack leave the TARDIS to confront their Dalek captors, whilst Donna is locked inside, with something strange happening to her. The TARDIS is sent to be destroyed, Donna inside..... The companions stage a fightback, Martha with the key, Sarah Jane with a warp star, but are all transported to the Crucible. Davros has a secret weapon which cause mass destruction.
So many stories and plots are tied up in this episode, The Doctor Donna, the hand etc. The question Rose was trying to ask at the end of Doomsday.
How random was it hearing German Daleks, though about time i guess, Exterminieren though a Dr Who phrase Germans would have been unfamiliar with, as the word used on the dubbings was vernichten.
The reality bomb is a great concept, the fact that the planets were taken to form an engine to power it, so cleverly put together, the idea is a scary one, everything becoming dust.
A nice flip back to Genesis when Davros recognises Sarah Jane.
Nice touch of humour brought by Jackie, reminding us just how good a character she was.
This episode is highly emotionally charged, Rose finally gets to see her Doctor, Tennant puts in a truly superb performance. I keep harping on about Catherine Tate I know, but she truly is fabulous, great that she gets to play a huge part in this finale. It is a case of pure joy to total desolation. The ending is totally and utterly heartbreaking, never has Doctor Who ever been so moving, still can't watch it without a tear, she's been astounding throughout this incredible Series 4. Love it!! 10/10
