Does anyone have any information on the music for the final reunion scene on Bad Wolf Bay? The one with the female warbling and the piano going plink... plink... plink... continually on the same note? Because I think it is fab, and would happily purchase it ;) -- Harris 21:51, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Doesn't the presence of the Torchwood institute in the alternate universe where Rose, Pete, Mickey & Jackie were stranded; confirm the existence of an alternate Doctor in that universe? Torchwood being founded because of the Doctor (it being an anagram for 'Doctor Who' kind of gives it that mystique quality that makes it rather counter intuitive for an alternate purpose in the alternate reality of an institute so-named) 67.5.147.88 21:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Besides... speculation is half the fun with Doctor Who. - Neural 03:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Tanelorn appears in several of Michael Moorcock's parallel universes - are there any more examples of such multiples? Jackiespeel 22:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Slightly un-related but still relevent to this topic: How come Earth even still exists in the parallel dimension if there is no Doctor? Over the years Earth has been invaded by innumerable aliens with nefarious intent, so who dispatched them? I can only think of three reasons for their earth's continued existence. ### a) Some Defender of the Weak (i.e. Doctor). ### b) No-one wants to invade their Earth - in which case what is their Torchwoods job? ### c) They've always been able to repel the defenders unaided (so why couldn't they handle the cybermen with the Doctor?). - User:Moriarty 22:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Or d) the split is 'comparatively recent' - some time after airships became viable (though planes might have also evolved) - and the characters speak with the same accents in both worlds (how quickly do accents/languages drift?). Jackiespeel 21:08, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Nicely said!
Wonder if they wrote it out on purpose, the same way they tired to write out the sonic screwdriver way back when. Was kind of taking the fun out of it if all he has to do is flash a blank bit of paper and people suddenly accept that he's who he says he is-- 71.247.243.152 04:28, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
It returns in Series 3. 147.70.242.40 ( talk) 23:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, yes, speculation isn't appropriate on wikipedia talk pages, and so on - but is it worth noting the previous appearance of a parallel earth in Inferno? The parallel earth in Inferno shows that Britain is technologically advanced compared to "our" world, and that Britain is a republic. Might Peteworld be a version of the Inferno earth in which they don't destroy the universe?
Incidentally, Torchwood probably exists in both worlds because the point of divergence is later than the creation of Torchwood. So, technically, the Doctor that exists in Peteworld is the SAME Doctor because the worlds were different AFTER that time rather than before. Matthew Platts 18:58, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
The report was on the Newsround website. It is not on there anymore though.
Is it my imagination or does David Tennant break into his natural accent during the goodbye scene? Matthew Platts 20:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
The Doctor says that they cannot meet again - for the second time.
Three people (Rose, Jackie and Mickey) from our-universe reside in parallel universe, and the Cybermen and others crossed in the reverse direction - so there is a possibility of it happening again.
Alternatively they end up in a third parallel universe and avoid any paradoxes...
Jackiespeel 22:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Just parking a few ideas - rather than getting involved in the Dr Who fanfic.
TV series producers can #always# find a way out of reviving dead or "parked elsewhere" characters if needs be - see the patron saint of such events, Bobby Ewing.
Jackiespeel 16:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I can understand there should be a details episode summary for key episodes such as this, but the plot summary just goes on and on and on, it's not easily readable and would take a good few minutes to plow through properly. It doesn't need to detail every single thing that happens in the episode word for word. 83.151.197.97 19:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Just wondering if I could change the caption from the "EXTERMINATE Delete" to that nice quote from Dalek Sec, "This is not war, this is pest control". It matches the picture nicely, and also even though the Daleks shout, we could just emphasise the loudness by putting it in bold. Comics 11:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
(spoiler warning, though at this point i don't know if it matters)
This was a great episode, it actually made me cry. But I don't get how Mr. Tyler would know exactly when and where to jump to the other Earth just in time to catch and save Rose. Is it worth pointing this out somewhere? ( Corby 13:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC))
Hi! People have been known to have their arms outstretched for mere balance's sake. He may have been anticipating a strong wind upon his arrival and had his arms ready to grab onto something. So it could still be luck. (Granted, sometimes actors and actresses give away their intended actions by "telegraphing with their movements" on a subconcious level.) I don't know about you folks, but I've seen a lot of isntances when characters had their eyes closed ahead of time, because the person playing the character was preparing for what was coming next, even though logically the character was supposed to be totally surprised. I blame it on rehearsal. LeoStarDragon1 ( talk) 08:48, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
(Another spoiler warning, but as noted above it probably doesn't matter) I think it is a notable continuity fact that this is the first episode in the history of Doctor Who in which the Doctor is actually shown weeping. I've seen every existing episode of the original and new series and I cannot think of any other occasion in which he's shown crying, thought the Ninth Doctor comes close when he tells Rose "You were fantastic" in Parting of the Ways. Before I add this, however, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of another occasion, in case my memory is faulty. 23skidoo 14:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Not sure that's a correct translation for "Bad Wolf Bay". In Danish, at least, "dårlig" is used as in "bad stomach". If the meaning is as in "bad wolf", the word would be "slemme" - not sure if that's the same in Norwegian. And "stranden" is "the beach". "Bugt" would be "bay". So, in Danish at least, I would expect the translation to be more like "Slemme Ulv Bugt" ... Daen 03:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Google translates it as bad wolf beach... Andrew Marsden ( talk) 20:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
"Bad" is indeed a correct translation of the word "dårlig" but, it's not bad as in "wicked" but as in "not good" or "inferior". "Stranden" means, as in Danish, "the beach". If one should follow the line of the translation of Little Red Riding Hood, it would be "Stygge ulv bukten" or, more grammatically sound, "Styggeulvsbukten" (although "slem", as Andrew suggest, is certainly a good alternative). Pilum ( talk) 19:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
I've remove the following paragraph:
This is original research. It is possible that in removing this paragraph I have removed material that, shorn of the speculation, might belong in the article. -- Tony Sidaway 10:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Two things I would like to mention: 1) Under continuity, it is stated that Jack Harkness leaves the series in an episode featuring the Daleks, namely The Parting of the Ways, however I believe that he reappears in Utopia. Is this so, and if so, worth an edit? And the second's more of a general comment: why is it that the Doctor is faced so many times with the choice of Rose or the universe?-- 84.68.45.78 22:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I propose the next item is removed from "The Void"
Because it is quite speculative.
"The Doctor states that travel between universes was impossible until the Daleks broke down the walls between worlds with the void ship. This may explain the crack in time that the TARDIS fell through in "Rise of the Cybermen" to reach the parallel Earth in the first place."

OK, so I understand most of the article gets its information from two external links. But the average reader doesn't know that. The lead should also be rewritten to better reflect the whole article, including a plot description, (get rid of that useless synopsis section). The plot could be shortened too, and there are no reviews (eg. IGN, who reviewed every season two and three episode).
Still, it's fine apart from that, and I hope other such Doctor Who articles can improve to this level before the notability inquisition comes in. Alientraveller 17:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
OK, the renom has passed. Alientraveller 21:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force.

I wanted to get that kind of throbbing, sort of hurt, sound of quite emotional rock, because I thought that's Rose would do if she was hurting and ran up to her bedroom and locked herself in her room and had a good old cry, really."
Above is the quote made by Murray Gold, copied exactly as it appears in the article. It needs correcting as it does not make sense (possibly vandalism??) Does anyone know what this is supposed to say? yettie0711 ( talk) 13:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
It's very hard to mention this without going into a huge rant at how awful this episode was, but should it not be in the article that the very crux of the whole void-stuff device, and thus the whole point of the climax, renders Pete's rescuing of Rose completely non-sensical? Can that be mentioned in a neutral and non-OR manner? Perhaps a reviewer has picked up on this at some point and that could be sourced? U-Mos ( talk) 19:08, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Seeing as Rose is counted as a companion for her role in "Turn Left" and Martha is counted as one in "Sontaran Strategem"/"Poison Sky", Mickey should be counted as one for these this two-parter. Ophois ( talk) 15:10, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
I've seen the episode Rise of the Cybermen recently in my country, and this discussion about the existence of a parallel seems out of place for me. So I went to the article of that episode and I copy this fragment from the Continuity section:
"There are two Torchwood references in this episode, one in the news report that Rose watches on her mobile phone which mentions the Torchwood Institute, and during the party, when Pete Tyler identifies a party-goer as "the guy from Torchwood". This implies that the Institute is either more public on this parallel Earth or is not the same type of organisation (or both)."
It's obvious, Torchwood exists, although it cannot be the same organisation as it is in 'this' reality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.79.136.171 ( talk) 00:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
It is said by the person that reverted my change that "it's emphatically One Canada Square, which is known to the public far and large as Canary Wharf (Tower)"
Which may be true, but "far and large" doesn't stretch to this small part of Australia, where I'd never heard of Canary Wharf. So I clicked the link labeled "Canary Wharf" and was presented with information about some building IN Canary Wharf, rather than about Canary Wharf itself.
Perhaps the link(s) should be Canary Wharf ( Tower). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.235.106.169 ( talk) 23:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
This section does not have any cites to independent reliable secondary sources. Do any secondary sources give this material significant discussion? If not, the subsection should be removed. Cirt ( talk) 21:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I watched it just now, and it's pretty clear that only Dalek Caan escaped through the emergency temporal shift, just before it sucks in the ark. I believe he's the only one of the four that shows up in a later episode. Jeff ( talk) 00:01, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
OK, after further investigation, it appears I was wrong, although we do only see one of them trigger the temporal shift. I've edited my edit. Jeff ( talk) 00:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi
During the opyedit a few things came to light that may need attention:
I hope this was satisfactory; but if there are any contentious edits feel free to remove them. Chaosdruid ( talk) 17:32, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
"Doomsday" is the thirteenth and final episode in the second series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who". "Second series"? that can't be right. The second series would have been in the 1960s. Adpete ( talk) 02:40, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I know she was credited as "The Bride" at the end of the episode but for the sake of purpose and just generally to be less confusing to those who don't know, why not just have Catherine Tate listed as Donna Noble anyway - we know who she is and what her name is and it just seems pointless to list her as something else. It's a bit like listing The Master's disguises as there own anogramed name instead of just listing Anthony Aniely. I think it should be changed personaly but you may dissagree.

09:16, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Yes, I'm sure it's easy for little things like actuality slip by in the rush to make grandiloquent claims. As to the result, I did not see that [ [2]] coming. Oh, hang on a second. I take my hat off to you, Sir. Like watching an aerialist above the Grand Canyon leaping from foot to foot, with only a well-placed plimsole and a two inch thick wire rope separating existence from oblivion, your efforts to ensure that only your interpretation of Wikipedia's guidelines shall prevail are breathtaking. Absolutely astonishing. 109.158.123.179 ( talk) 19:22, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
First, I apologize if this is a silly suggestion, as I am new to Wikipedia editing, so please bear with me and try to resist the urge to laugh me out of the forum, though do feel free to delete this if it does reek of being a newbie comment. Suggestions/timid proposals for updating:
should this read like the others with the use of "regular appearance" since she returns for the "Turn Left" trilogy? Or is that covered by "lead" companion role?
should there be an addition of "at the time of the initial publication of this article", or, "the time of the episodes release"?
Other things:
the wording of this seems misleading to me, because in the 2 parter of "The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit", there isn't a reunion between the Doctor and Rose, though it could be considered a final reunion between Tennant and Piper, which I could see as emotional for the actors but not the characters. Though i could be wrong.

Which may be true, but "far and large" doesn't stretch to this small part of Australia, where I'd never heard of Canary Wharf. So I clicked the link labeled "Canary Wharf" and was presented with information about some building IN Canary Wharf, rather than about Canary Wharf itself.
Perhaps the link(s) should be Canary Wharf ( Tower). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.235.106.169 ( talk) 23:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
This section does not have any cites to independent reliable secondary sources. Do any secondary sources give this material significant discussion? If not, the subsection should be removed. Cirt ( talk) 21:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I watched it just now, and it's pretty clear that only Dalek Caan escaped through the emergency temporal shift, just before it sucks in the ark. I believe he's the only one of the four that shows up in a later episode. Jeff ( talk) 00:01, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
OK, after further investigation, it appears I was wrong, although we do only see one of them trigger the temporal shift. I've edited my edit. Jeff ( talk) 00:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi
During the opyedit a few things came to light that may need attention:
I hope this was satisfactory; but if there are any contentious edits feel free to remove them. Chaosdruid ( talk) 17:32, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
"Doomsday" is the thirteenth and final episode in the second series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who". "Second series"? that can't be right. The second series would have been in the 1960s. Adpete ( talk) 02:40, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I know she was credited as "The Bride" at the end of the episode but for the sake of purpose and just generally to be less confusing to those who don't know, why not just have Catherine Tate listed as Donna Noble anyway - we know who she is and what her name is and it just seems pointless to list her as something else. It's a bit like listing The Master's disguises as there own anogramed name instead of just listing Anthony Aniely. I think it should be changed personaly but you may dissagree.

09:16, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Yes, I'm sure it's easy for little things like actuality slip by in the rush to make grandiloquent claims. As to the result, I did not see that [ [2]] coming. Oh, hang on a second. I take my hat off to you, Sir. Like watching an aerialist above the Grand Canyon leaping from foot to foot, with only a well-placed plimsole and a two inch thick wire rope separating existence from oblivion, your efforts to ensure that only your interpretation of Wikipedia's guidelines shall prevail are breathtaking. Absolutely astonishing. 109.158.123.179 ( talk) 19:22, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
First, I apologize if this is a silly suggestion, as I am new to Wikipedia editing, so please bear with me and try to resist the urge to laugh me out of the forum, though do feel free to delete this if it does reek of being a newbie comment. Suggestions/timid proposals for updating:
should this read like the others with the use of "regular appearance" since she returns for the "Turn Left" trilogy? Or is that covered by "lead" companion role?
should there be an addition of "at the time of the initial publication of this article", or, "the time of the episodes release"?
Other things:
the wording of this seems misleading to me, because in the 2 parter of "The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit", there isn't a reunion between the Doctor and Rose, though it could be considered a final reunion between Tennant and Piper, which I could see as emotional for the actors but not the characters. Though i could be wrong.
