"Doomsday" is the thirteenth and final episode in the second series of the revival of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was first broadcast on 8 July 2006 and is the conclusion of a two-part story; the first part, "Army of Ghosts", was broadcast on 1 July 2006. The two-part story features the Daleks, presumed extinct after the events of the 2005 series' finale; and the Cybermen, who appeared in "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel". Both species unexpectedly arrived on Earth at the conclusion of "Army of Ghosts". The plot consists mostly of the Daleks and Cybermen waging a global war, with humanity caught in the crossfire. The Doctor and his companions fight for their lives trying to revert the situation. The episode was filmed in December 2005 and January 2006. One of the most popular Doctor Who episodes since the show's revival, "Doomsday" is favoured by critics both for the Cyberman–Dalek conflict and for the farewell scene between the Doctor and his companion, Rose Tyler.
