Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeorgia Tennant, daughter of Doctor Who (1963)'s Fifth Doctor Peter Davison, plays The Doctor's Daughter (actually a clone created from his DNA). While filming she met David Tennant who was then the Tenth Doctor. The following year they started dating. In 2010 she fell pregnant, giving birth to a daughter Olive Tennant in March 2011. She and Tennant married in December 2011. So, in truth, The Doctor's Daughter is The Doctor's Daughter, had The Doctor's Daughter, and had The Doctor's Granddaughter.
- GoofsWhen Jenny does somersaults through the laser beams, the last two beams are level horizontally and the higher beam is lower than her foot so she should have broken it.
- Quotes
The Doctor: Call me old fashioned, but if you really wanted peace couldn't you just stop fighting?
Lieutenent Cobb: Only when we have the Source. It will give us the power to erase every stinking Hath off the face of this planet.
The Doctor: Hang on, a second ago it was peace in our time and now you're talking about genocide!
Lieutenent Cobb: For us, that means the same thing!
The Doctor: Then you need to get yourself a better dictionary. When you do, look up genocide. You'll see a little picture of me there and the caption'll read 'over my dead body!'

The TARDIS takes control and whisks the Doctor, Donna and the unsuspecting Martha off to Messaline, where two warring subterranean factions are at loggerheads, although neither has a log attached to their heads but one does make use of a futuristic soda stream. After inadvertently spawning a daughter through a clone machine, losing Martha and subsequently breaking out of confinement, there is a good old chase, lots of running, and we find out that Donna is probably a pretty useful Sudoku player. Oh yes, a door is opened to a spin off - which failed to rotate.
