Trivia
A particular piece of music written by regular composer, Murray Gold with vocals from Melanie Pappenheim, caused an influx of emails to the BBC requesting a Doctor Who soundtrack on the back of this piece of music alone. The following year, fans' wishes were granted and a soundtrack was released on the strength of the emails inquiring about that one particular piece of music, the title of which is simply known as "Doomsday".

Goofs
When trapped with the sphere, Mickey tells Rose he can transport out, but only has one transporter and it won't work for two, so he can't get them both out. However, as Rose is falling towards the breach, Pete transports in, catches Rose, and transports them both out, even though she is not wearing a transporter. However, he is holding one, and when he is back on the other side, he takes one off from around his neck. It is possible he was wearing one, as well as holding one for her.

Doctor Who - Doomsday

This Episode is superb, and i must say a fine and delightful way to end the series.

It has the emotion value from "The Girl in The Fireplace", and has the action value from "The Parting of Ways" and "Dalek".

The overall main plot finish's at 35minutes and the last 10minutes show the after events that aren't relevant to the story but if they weren't there it would be an outrage to all viewers (i.e Bad Ending).

The series ends on a high and thankfully doesn't end with a cliffhanger, well a relevant one (The Runaway Bride, Christmas Special). It's worth the wait to see each Doctor Who episode and this one fills a nice gap that we all had for the finale - that it was a good one!
