The Parting of the Ways
"The Parting of the Ways" is the thirteenth and final episode of the revived first series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. The episode was first broadcast on BBC One on 18 June 2005. It was the second episode of the two-part story. The first part, "Bad Wolf", was broadcast on 11 June.
In the episode, the Dalek race invades the human satellite Satellite Five in the year 200,100, intending to make more Daleks by harvesting dead humans. The alien time traveller the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) plans to use the satellite's transmitter to try to destroy every Dalek, while at the same time sending his travelling companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) home to keep her safe.
The episode featured Eccleston making his final appearance as the Ninth Doctor and marks the first appearance of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor.
The Ninth Doctor pilots the TARDIS to rescue Rose from the Daleks. The Doctor discovers that the Dalek Emperor survived the Time War and that it rebuilt the Dalek race by harvesting DNA material from kidnapped humans. These Daleks, driven insane by their own genetic impurity, have developed a concept of blasphemy and worship the Emperor as a god. The Doctor, Rose and Jack escape.
Returning to the top floor of Satellite Five, the Doctor attempts to create a device, a "Delta Wave", which will destroy the Daleks, but also life on Earth. Jack manages to delay the Daleks reaching the Doctor. The Doctor tricks Rose into going inside the TARDIS, and remotely directs the TARDIS to return Rose to her home time to keep her safe, asking her to abandon the TARDIS and forget about him. The Daleks invade the station, killing everyone in their path.
Rose grows despondent at being trapped on Earth while the Doctor fights the Daleks. She notices the words "Bad Wolf", words which also exist on Satellite Five, on her estate, and realises that they are a message, rather than a warning. She convinces her boyfriend Mickey and mother Jackie to help her open the heart of the TARDIS. Mickey uses a truck borrowed by Jackie to pull the panel on the console open, and light from the heart of the TARDIS passes into Rose's body.
In the future, the Daleks reach the top of Satellite Five, killing Jack and Lynda in the process. The Doctor cannot bring himself to activate the Delta Wave, but before the Daleks can kill the Doctor, Rose arrives in the TARDIS, having absorbed tremendous powers from the TARDIS. She spreads the words "Bad Wolf" throughout time and space as a message to lead herself there. Rose disintegrates the Dalek fleet, killing the Emperor, and resurrects Jack. To save her life, the Doctor absorbs Rose's powers from her, causing him to start dying. He and an unconscious Rose leave in the TARDIS before Jack can get back to them. Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor regenerates into his tenth incarnation.
This was the first episode in this series which was not given a press screening prior to the broadcast. Radio Times stated, "No preview tape was available for this episode." The episode was, however, screened for BAFTA on 15 June 2005.
