"Journey's End" is the thirteenth and final episode of the fourth series of British science fiction television series Doctor Who broadcast first on BBC One on 5 July 2008. It is the second episode of a two-part story; preceded by "The Stolen Earth". At 65 minutes in length, it is the longest regular episode of Doctor Who, approximately 20 minutes longer than a standard revived series episode.[2] No preview tapes were made to prevent details of the plot from being leaked prematurely.[2] This episode also marks the final appearance of Donna Noble as a continuing companion.
Plot
Synopsis
Continuing from the end of "The Stolen Earth", the Doctor (David Tennant) is regenerating inside the TARDIS. Once his body is healed, he halts the transformation by transferring the remaining energy into his severed hand. The TARDIS is captured by the Daleks and transported to the Crucible, the Daleks' flagship. Powerless, the Doctor and his previous companions Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) leave the TARDIS, but Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) is mysteriously locked in. The Daleks send the TARDIS into an incinerator; as it is being destroyed, Donna collapses by the Doctor's severed hand. The stored energy flows into her then back into the hand, forming a new Doctor, who saves the TARDIS from destruction. Meanwhile, Torchwood employees Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) and Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) find safety in an impenetrable time bubble; Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) is saved from a Dalek extermination by Rose's ex-boyfriend Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke) and mother Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri) and surrender themselves to get aboard the Crucible; and Martha Jones teleports to a Schloss sixty miles from Nuremburg which houses a UNIT station.
Aboard the Crucible, the Doctor and Rose are taken to Davros (Julian Bleach), creator of the Daleks. Davros explains that the twenty-seven stolen planets form a compression field for energy which can cancel the electrical energy of atoms. The resulting "reality bomb" has the potential to destroy all matter in every universe; reality itself would be destroyed. After the device is tested, the Daleks receive two transmissions: Sarah, Mickey, Jack, and Jackie threaten to use an explosive crystal (or Warp Star) to destroy the Crucible; and Martha threatens to use the Osterhagen Key—a last resort device which would destroy Earth. The Daleks teleport all five to Davros' chamber; Davros uses their actions to challenge the Doctor:
"The man who abhors violence [...] but this is the truth: you take ordinary people and fashion them into weapons. [...] How many have died in your name? The Doctor, the man who keeps on running, never looking back because he dare not, out of shame. This is my final victory, Doctor. I have shown you yourself."
Davros prepares to detonate the reality bomb as the TARDIS materalises in the room. The other Doctor and Donna charge out and try to attack Davros but are quickly immobilized. Seconds before the bomb detonates, Donna becomes imbued with Time Lord knowledge. She uses a control panel to stop the detonation and disable Davros' guards. The two Doctors and Donna return the stolen planets to their original locations; Davros asks the precognitive Dalek Caan why he didn't foresee this. Caan explains that he realised the Daleks' evil and conspired to destroy the entire race.
Before Earth can be relocated, the control panel is destroyed by the Supreme Dalek. As the Doctor prepares the TARDIS, the other Doctor fulfills Caan's prophecy and destroys the Daleks, triggering the flagship's destruction. The Doctor offers to save Davros; he refuses, labeling the Doctor as "the Destroyer of Worlds". The companions flee into the TARDIS before the Crucible is destroyed and—aided by Sarah's computer Mr Smith, her robotic dog K-9, and the spatio-temporal rift in Cardiff—"tow" the Earth back into its original orbit.
In the dénouement of the episode, the Doctor parts ways with his companions: Sarah returns home to her son Luke; Martha and Mickey leave with Jack; and the Doctor returns Rose and Jackie to the alternative universe they were trapped in in "Doomsday". The Doctor forces the other Doctor to stay in the parallel universe as punishment for committing genocide and to requite Rose's love. After departing, Donna becomes overwhelmed by the Time Lord knowledge. The Doctor is forced to wipe her mind, and explains to her mother Sylvia (Jacqueline King) and grandfather Wilfred Mott (Bernard Cribbins) that Donna must never remember him, reverting to the very different character she was before meeting the Doctor. As the Doctor leaves, Wilfred promises that he will never forget the Doctor on his granddaughter's behalf. The episode concludes with the Doctor in the TARDIS, left alone with his thoughts.
Continuity
Mickey and Jackie make their first appearances in Doctor Who since "Doomsday".[3] K-9 Mark IV makes his first appearance since The Sarah Jane Adventures story The Lost Boy, and his first in Doctor Who since "School Reunion".[4][5] Both Rose and Mickey refer to meeting Sarah Jane in "School Reunion"[5].
Mickey and Jackie make use of the Void Transporters seen previously in "Army of Ghosts"/"Doomsday",[6][3] whilst Sarah Jane's sonic lipstick, left to her as a gift by the Doctor in "School Reunion"[5] and used frequently on The Sarah Jane Adventures, is used. The tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator, first introduced in "Boom Town", is mentioned by Jack.[7] It is mentioned that a Magnetron was used to transport all the planets. In the Trial of a Time Lord serial The Ultimate Foe, a Magnetron was also used to move Earth.[8]
The Doctor refers to his sword fight against the Sycorax Leader in "The Christmas Invasion", in which he lost and regrew his hand.[9] Reference is also made to Rose's encounter with the Cult of Skaro in "Doomsday"[3] when she learns Dalek Caan is aboard the Crucible, and to Mickey and Jack's previous encounter in "Boom Town"[7] when they meet again. Upon seeing Sarah Jane Smith, Davros refers to his first encounter with her on Skaro in Genesis of the Daleks, where the Daleks were created.[10][11] Davros is seen to shoot electrical energy from his hand as he did in Revelation of the Daleks.[12] The Doctor recalls the Ood naming the time travellers as "Doctor-Donna" "Planet of the Ood", now recognised as a prophecy.[13]
The issue of the Doctor's supposed half-human physiology (as suggested by the TV movie)[14] is obliquely explored, with the implication that this was never the case prior to "Journey's End".[11] The Doctor comments on "spatial-genetic multiplicity" when he and Rose notice the similarity between Torchwood's Gwen Cooper and the maid Gwyneth they met in the episode "The Unquiet Dead"[15], both of whom are played by Eve Myles.[11]
This is the first episode where the TARDIS is fully-staffed with six pilots, and the first time it is noted definitively in the television series that it was designed for this number, excluding the visual reference in "Rise of the Cybermen" when the TARDIS crash lands and a set of six gas masks are released from the ceiling.[16] This had previously been purported in spin-off media, such as the novel Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible, the canonicity of which is unclear.[11] The fictional "Dårlig Ulv Stranden" ("Bad Wolf Bay"), seen primarily at the end of "Doomsday"[3], is revisited in this episode.[11]
Mickey does not feel obliged to remain in the parallel universe with Rose and Jackie as his grandmother (seen in "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel") has passed away.[16][17] It is revealed in this episode that Jackie, who was reportedly pregnant by the alternate Pete Tyler at the end of "Doomsday"[3], had a baby boy and called him Tony. Rose finds out from the other Doctor what it was the Doctor was going to say to her on the beach before they lost contact in "Doomsday"[3] - though this remains unheard by the audience, Julie Gardner stated in the accompanying episode of Doctor Who Confidential that in her opinion these words were "I love you".[18]
Numerous clips from the revived series are used in various flashbacks. When Davros taunts the Doctor about the countless deaths he has caused, clips are shown of various characters who died owing to their association with the Doctor, specifically Harriet Jones, Jabe, the Controller, Lynda, Sir Robert MacLeish, Mrs Moore, Mr Skinner, Ursula Blake, Bridget, the Face of Boe, Chantho, Astrid Peth, Luke Rattigan, Jenny, River Song and the Hostess, respectively[19]. When the Doctor purges Donna's memories, clips are shown from earlier episodes featuring her.[20] The Doctor predicts that Donna will dismiss people talking about the events.
Production
Writing
Russell T. Davies originally planned to show Davros prior to his crippling accident and to reveal how this happened.[11] Davies wrote in the original script that Doctor-Donna would use a standard QWERTY keyboard when she takes control of the Daleks but Production Designer Edward Thomas pointed out that Daleks have suckers and so would be unable to use a QWERTY keyboard. Instead Thomas designed the controls seen in the episode.[21] Also according to the original script, the Doctor was to give Rose's Doctor a small piece of "coral" from the TARDIS so that he could grow his own TARDIS.[11]
Locations
Castell Coch, situated minutes away from the Doctor Who studios in Upper Boat, is used as the German castle.[21] Castell Coch was mentioned in the Target novelisation of The Ark.[citation needed] The beach at Southerndown, a few miles west of Cardiff, is used once more as Norway's fictional "Dårlig Ulv Stranden" ("Bad Wolf Bay").[11]
Casting
Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones controlled one of the Daleks that escorts the human prisoners aboard the Crucible.[22] He previously played a Cyberman in "Rise of the Cybermen" and has made a cameo appearance as himself in Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures in the episode "Invasion of the Bane".[23]
Another Doctor
One significant feature of this episode is the appearance of a second Doctor. Unlike the multiple Doctors of stories such as The Two Doctors, where his previous incarnations were played by actors or depicted in old footage, this Doctor is identical in appearance to the Tenth Doctor. In the accompanying Doctor Who Confidential for this episode, Davies explains "This is so busy and so mental and so epic and universal in scale that of course you need two Doctors to solve it."[18] Phil Collinson, Graeme Harper, and David Tennant discuss the use of the double, a musician called Colum Regan[24] who is a very good physical match for Tennant. Collinson explains that while with an unlimited budget they would use Tennant in every shot, "we only have a certain number of effects shots where you can see the two Doctors together, so we have to pick those carefully."
Harper is then shown directing a scene in which both Regan and Tennant are shown around the TARDIS console. Harper explains that in "two or three wide shots" they were able to use Regan and Tennant together. For the most part the double is used for scenes where one or the other Doctor is only seen from behind, or only an arm or back of the head is seen in a shot. The double has appeared in other episodes throughout the series. Over documentary footage showing the shooting of the scene where the new Doctor emerges from the TARDIS, Tennant describes the procedure for making an effects shot involving Tennant as both Doctors. The camera is locked in place while Tennant goes off and changes clothing, with Regan holding his place. A shot is made for reference with Regan, then another shot is made without Regan. This enables the shots to be merged during editing to create the effect of having David Tennant in two places in the same shot.[18]
Broadcast and reception
Screening
As well as being broadcast on BBC One, the episode was screened for free in Trafalgar Square in London as part of Pride London 2008. The screening was hosted by Freema Agyeman.[25]
A teaser trailer was added onto the ending credits showing four clips of the Doctor, a man and a woman (David Morrissey and Dervla Kirwan) and the Cybermen, to promote the 2008 Christmas Special. Both Morrissey and Kirwan have starred alongside David Tennant before, in Blackpool and Casanova respectively. The Cybermen will be appearing for the first time in Doctor Who since "Doomsday"[3] and were shown to be of the design of the parallel universe Cybus Industries Cybermen.[26]
Ratings
Overnight returns suggest that the episode was watched live by 9.4 million viewers when first broadcast on BBC1, giving it a 45.9% share of the total television audience. Not only was the programme the highest rated on Saturday, beating the second placed Casualty by nearly 4 million viewers, it is currently the highest rated programme of the week. Fifteen minute breakdowns show that Doctor Who peaked with 9.8 million viewers in the last quarter-hour of its broadcast. Final figures, including timeshift, will be released by BARB.[27][28][29][30]
Critical reception
The Telegraph's John Preston states that this episode of Doctor Who "[a]s usual...served up a lot more than mere excitement." He credits Doctor Who's success partly to its "richly defined characters behaving in readily identifiable ways."[31] Also of The Telegraph, Sarah Crompton wrote that the episode was "exciting, incomprehensible, satisfying and slightly irritating all at the same time". Although Crompton said "It was inevitable that the start would be an anti-climax", she praised the special effects and also noted that she would miss "the warmth and humour" that Tate brought to the series.[32] Lucy Mangan in a humorous review for The Guardian that rewrites the dialogue between Tennant's and Cribbins' characters at the end as a discussion of the plot, described it as providing "something for everyone".[33] In The Times, Andrew Billen called "Journey's End" "a spectacular finale that...gave the lie to the truism that more always, dramatically speaking, adds up to less."[34]
Writing for The Mirror, Jim Shelley is highly critical of this episode in his review describing it as "[d]emented rather than dazzling". He was confused by the two Doctors played by David Tennant, saw little development in Donna across the series and was puzzled by the Doctor's attempt to save his arch-enemy, Davros. He claims that "amidst all the shrieking, shouting, and mock operatic bluster, [he was] sure [he] saw a kitchen sink thrown in for good measure. Riddled with scientific mumbo-jumbo, it was too chaotic and long-winded to be the classic farewell Russell T Davies promised." He argues that the plot "went haywire" and that "Rose and the two Tennants acted out a sort of twisted menage a trois." In conclusion he states "Tennant's cheeky chappie mannerisms made the show into an extraterrestrial EastEnders."[35]
Mark Wright of The Stage likens "Journey’s End" to "one big house of cards...[that] will come crashing down" if thought about too much. However, he had no problem with the resolution of the "The Stolen Earth"'s cliffhanger and is critical of those who complain about feeling cheated by the lack of a regeneration. Though he expresses that he saw little need for Mickey and Jackie in this episode, he asserts that Donna had "the saddest end for a companion ever" and praises Davies for just managing to keep the plot together. He argues that as Davies "writes the emotions and big themes so well...blow logic and rational plot moments if they get in the way!" He compares Davies's writing style to "PT Barnum showmanship" and praises both the dark and light elements of the episode. He concludes that, if not overthought, the episode remains "an audacious, big, silly, often poignant season finale".[36]
Writing for the Radio Times's Doctor Who blog, William Gallagher called "Journey's End" "event drama" and "party television". He stated that the resolution to the regeneration cliffhanger left him feeling "a bit cheated", but praised the episode's characterization, concluding that David Tennant "has been the best Doctor of them all" and that "Doctor Who is the best drama on TV: it's the one with most verve and spark and exuberant excitement."[37] Dave Golder of SFX says "If, while your brain is telling you, "This is crap!" your heart is still doing backflips then it's your kind of episode. "Journey's End" is almost a two fingers up at technobabble; there's certainly tons of it in the episode, but it's largely irrelevant." He praises the action sequences and the portrayal of Donna, Davros, Rose and the Doctor, but remarks that the overcrowding of minor characters made parts of the script seem "underdeveloped" and describes the Daleks as mostly "[c]annon fodder". "[The] plot does hang together, but only just". Overall, he describes the episode as "exceptional" but "not perfect".[21] John Beresford of TV Scoop called the finale "just about the most exciting Doctor Who episode [he could] ever remember", and "a fantastically imaginative, exciting and action-packed finale to the fourth series."[38]
Fan reception
A story on the BBC News website described fan reaction as "mixed". The report was based on sampled views from postings to the forum pages of two websites, Digital Spy and Ain't It Cool News.[39]
