Unlike series 1, the main production team did not feature Mal Young. Significantly, series 2 also served as a mild advertisement for the then-forthcoming Torchwood television series, since its main story arc established the origins of the Torchwood Institute. It was David Tennant's first full series as the Tenth Doctor, wrote out Billie Piper's Rose Tyler and briefly introduced the character of Donna Noble. It consisted of twelve stories and fifteen episodes. The regular series was preceded by The Christmas Invasion, opened with New Earth and concluded with Doomsday.


It starred David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Billie Piper as Rose Tyler and Noel Clarke as Mickey Smith. Series 2 of Doctor Who ran between 18 November 2005 and 8 July 2006.
