Doctor Who (2005) Series 4 Review

A part of me just wants to stop here.

This was it. The final serious and dramatic series of Doctor Who before Moffat turned it into a cartoon show.

The thing that makes rewatching this sting so much for me is how amazing this series is.

Yes it’s easy to say that the BIG finale with all of its gloss and shine is great because for some people films and TV shows are only about the fireworks and how many times the music or scene moves to replace the audience instruction cards. For me though this stuck the landing in every department.

David Tennant’s best series of anything he’s ever done along with Donna Noble, played by Catherine Tate, as the best companion of the show to this day. Both of them mixed into the best and most dramatic, funniest, thought provoking and heartfelt episodes of the show ever.

That finale pays off because everything else does as well.

That final scene will always make me cry in sadness of Tennant leaving the role at its peak and Russell T Davies leaving whilst taking all of the amazing characters and worlds with him.

His run of Doctor Who was truly one of the greatest shows of all time and this series is that at its greatest.

10/10
