Doomsday is the thirteenth and final episode in the second series of
the revival of the British science fiction television programme Doctor
Who. It was first broadcast on 8 July 2006 and is the conclusion of a
two-part story; the first part, "Army of Ghosts", was broadcast on 1
July 2006. The two-part story features the Daleks, presumed extinct
after the events of the 2005 series' finale, and the Cybermen, who
appeared in a parallel universe in the 2006 episodes "Rise of the
Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel". Both species unexpectedly arrive on
Earth at the conclusion of "Army of Ghosts".The concept of the Daleks
and the Cybermen both appearing on-screen was first proposed in 1967,
but was vetoed by Terry Nation, the creator of the Daleks. The episode
is the first conflict between the two species in Doctor Who's 56-year
history, and features Billie Piper's last appearance in the lead
companion role as Rose Tyler; the final regular appearance of Noel
Clarke as Rose's ex-boyfriend and previous companion Mickey Smith; and
the final regular appearances of Camille Coduri and Shaun Dingwall as
Rose's parents, Jackie and Pete Tyler. The episode and its predecessor
were filmed between November 2005 and January 2006, alongside the
episodes "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel".Set mainly in
the One Canada Square skyscraper in Canary Wharf, the episode's plot
consists mostly of the Daleks and Cybermen waging a global war, with
humanity on the verge of extinction in the cataclysm. The Tenth Doctor
(David Tennant), the Tyler family, and Mickey Smith fight for their
lives trying to reverse the situation. They are successful, but at an
emotional cost to the Doctor and Rose, as they are left in separate
universes.
