BBC1 Indent for The End of Time Part 2 with David Tennant Voice over
A new version of the longer BBC1 Christmas Ident. It aired just before The End of Time Part 2 and contains a new voice over from David Tennant! He says:
"This is the Doctor. And now the end of time is nigh. The Master's in control, the Timelords are returning, it's time to face the final battle..."

The End of Time Part 2 Ratings
More than 12 million fans tuned in last night to watch The End of Time Part 2.
And National Grid power reports show that there was a huge surge in electricity demand as the show ended at 7.55pm - with millions of kettles being switched on.
The Sun headline read: "DOCTOR BREW".
The 75-minute second part of The End of Time was expected to notch up a New Year's Day record for viewing figures as Tennant regenerated into the new Doctor, Matt Smith.
You can view the last 24 hours of electricity consumption here.
Oh, and please bear with me. I am still making a banner for Nu-Who (2005-2010).

Series 1 (/5) Trailer
Today, after The End of Time Part 2, a new trailer aired for the new series of Doctor Who in 2010, You can view it below. Below that, I have highlighted some major points.
Top Left: Vampires! Only seen before in the lost First Doctor Story 'Marco Polo'. But what are they doing here?
Top Right: A war Dalek! Some of the plot has already been pieced together for these episodes: The Daleks convince the WWII British Army that they are willing to serve them. (Eg. As weapons and servants). But it is all a plan...
Middle Left: The Doctor and Amy kissing! (Snogging). Another Rose-like relationship?
Middle Right: New aliens! Pictured before in on-location photos as well.
Bottom left: A new type of Dalek! White. And a snazzy new eyestalk to.
Bottom Right: River Song! We knew of her being in the series already but she has a small gun in her hand. Who are the enemies?
Also in the trailer are the Weeping Angels. (Already confirmed by Steven Moffat). They are to quick to capture though so I couldn't get a good picture. Four of them.
It looks like it's going to be a good series! Spring 2010.

The End of Time Part 2 Review/Summary
Well, that just blew my mind. What a perfect send off for the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant. Firstly, we had Rassilon! Albeit in a different form. He is perhaps the single greatest figure in Timelord history. Twisted by the war, he was determined to preserve the Time Lords - at the expense of the rest of creation!
But our hearts sank when we realised the prophesied four knocks were Wilfred, signally the Doctor's death. He sacrificed his life to save Wilf from the radiation belt.
And companions. The beautiful end sequence gave us a chance to see Martha and Mickey (now married!), Donna getting married (again) who is now a millionaire thanks to the Doctor and Captain Jack getting to know Midship Frame. He also went to see Verity Newman, daughter of Joan Redfurn, who the Doctor fell in love with when he was human in Human Nature/The Family of Blood. And of course the Doctor returned to see Rose Tyler on the first day of 2005, only a few months before she would meet the Ninth Doctor. In a beautiful sequence between to two, the Doctor, partially hidden in shadow, told her that 2005 would be a good year for her. And how he was right...
And of course aliens! Lots of aliens! From the cactus-like Vinvocci, to a Sontaran, and a bar full of them including a Slitheen, a Graske, several Hath, an Adipose with a beer belly and more! The last we may get to see of many of them!
But it also left us with a few questions. What happened to Martha's engagement to Tom Milligan? What was the significance of that Woman? It seemed like she may be the Mother of one certain Doctor...
And then the regeneration. The TARDIS exploded around the Doctor as we got to see the biggest regeneration ever to be on our screens. A real send off to a Doctor that has touched so many. I'm sure many of you shall cry yourself to sleep tonight.
TWO Rating: 5/5 Stars
And so a new Doctor is born. One with legs, arms, hands, fingers, eyes, a nose, ears and long girlish hair. Bring on 2010!
Chandra.
