Officially named "Series 2" by the BBC, Doctor Who season 28 opened (in England) with a 60-minute Christmas special on December 25th, 2005, followed by a regular season of thirteen 43-minute episodes starting in March 2006.

A new actor, David Tennant, would debut in the title role. Additionally, actress Billie Piper (Rose) had indicated that she would be leaving the show at the end of the season. With this in mind, the production team decided to wrap up her storyline as well as that of Rose's mother Jackie, her father Pete and her sometime boyfriend Mickey. All of them would depart the show by season's end.

The season's stories are notable for memorable appearances by 70's era companions K-9 and Sarah Jane Smith as well as classic villains the Cybermen. Additionally, the season finale includes a confrontation that fans had waited no less than four decades to see.

The season would also contain numerous references to the upcoming spinoff series, Torchwood, which debuted just months after the season's close.
