JustForFun/{{The one w|ith}}here [[Series/DoctorWho all]] [[Series/{{Torchwood}} three]] [[Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures vectors]] of the televised ''Whoniverse''[[note]][[Series/{{Class}} at the]] [[Series/{{K9}} time]][[/note]] [[CrisisCrossover intersect.]] It's also the one with the return of Big Daddy Dalek.

[[WhamShot Oh, and also, the Doctor gets shot,]] [[MoodWhiplash so, anyway-]]
----

After the end of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft Turn Left]]", the Doctor races back to Earth to find that... everything's fine? Not exactly. The BAD WOLF from the last episode was, like all the others, a message from Rose. As Rose has been trapped in a parallel universe since "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E13Doomsday Doomsday]]", the Doctor realises that the walls between universes are breaking down, but he's not sure why, so they go back to the TARDIS to check. They are suddenly jolted, and the Doctor and Donna run to check outside. Instead of seeing the street and the milkman there a moment ago, they find that the TARDIS is...

Floating in empty space.

The Doctor races to the controls to see where the TARDIS has moved but then realizes that, in fact, they haven't moved at all. Their location is fixed.

The Earth is gone.

Far across the universe, we join everybody we've known since the show's revival in 2005. Martha Jones with UNIT in New York; [[Series/{{Torchwood}} Jack, his boyfriend Ianto and their friend Gwen]] in the Cardiff Hub; [[Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures Sarah Jane, her adopted son Luke and their supercomputer Mr. Smith]] in Ealing; Sylvia and Wilfred in London, and they've all felt what they think is a massive earthquake. That is, until each races outside to look at the sky. Martha calls Jack, but no one knows what's happening and no one can reach the Doctor. Just then, ActionGirl Rose, complete with a {{BFG}} on a shoulder strap, zaps onto the street, steeled and ready to go.

The cheery morning sky has been replaced by night and disturbingly low-hanging planets. No, really. UsefulNotes/RichardDawkins is on TV talking about it and everything. There are giant planets in the Earth's sky, and not a single familiar star. And we start to hear an extremely ominous choir, heralding [[Characters/DoctorWhoDaleks the species]] that were behind all of this...

One massively crowded opening credits sequence later, and we're back at where the Earth isn't, as the Doctor decides that now is the time to call in reinforcements, so he heads out to the Shadow Proclamation.

Teams Torchwood, Bannerman Road and UNIT detect 26 other planets and a fleet of mysterious spaceships heading directly for the Earth. Who could they possibly be? Everyone tries to call the Doctor, but no one can get through. Then, an eerily familiar transmission comes in from the incoming ships...

"'''[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: [[Oh Crap EX-TER-MI-NATE! EX-TER-MI-NATE! ]]
]]'''"

[[OminousLatinChanting Cue the choir again.]]

Jack, Martha and Sarah recognise the sound immediately. Jack pulls Ianto and Gwen close and kisses their foreheads. He says, "There's nothing I can do. I'm sorry, we're dead." Sarah hugs Luke, sobbing. ActionHero Rose, however, picks up her BFG and heads out into the street, [[UnflinchingWalk her hair blowing from the explosions behind her]].

The Daleks commence "ultimate extermination" on the Earth.

Back at the Shadow Proclamation, after a nifty bit of Judoon from the Doctor, our heroes try to piece the situation together. Once he puts his PurelyAestheticGlasses on, the Doctor realises that if you steal 27 specific planets out of space and time, they sync with one another to make a giant galactic-strength engine! That's what's been happening to all [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E10LoveAndMonsters those]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E1PartnersInCrime missing]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii planets]] (and one [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight missing moon]]) we've been hearing about. Now, if only he can figure out where they went. The Doctor asks Donna if she can remember anything out of the ordinary back on Earth. She can't, except the bees had been disappearing. The bees? Yes! The bees! The Doctor explodes into some lovely techno-babble about the [[AlienAnimals bees]], some of which have been aliens all along, sensing danger and fleeing to their home planet and now the Doctor can trace their journey and find Earth! Allons-y!

Oh, and a creepy Shadow Proclamation woman says sorry to Donna about her loss that has yet to come. Poor Donna.

Things look bad. Earth surrenders to the Daleks, Wilf's awesome plan to beat the Daleks with a paintball gun fails, the Doctor gets lost in the Medusa Cascade, Captain Jack waxes melancholy and no one's phones work. But guess who hasn't given up yet? That's right, Harriet Jones (former Prime Minister)! [[note]][[RunningGag Yes, we know who she is.]][[/note]] She patches together a ''Doctor Who'' co-star conference call, using a subwave network she helped develop specifically to contact the Doctor... despite the fact that the Doctor [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion ruined her life last time they met]]. EveryoneMeetsEveryone. Jack hits on Sarah Jane (and a little bit on Luke), Rose feels bad about not being included (because Sylvia wouldn't let Wilf get a webcam for their laptop because she thinks they're naughty), and they make a super mega phone call to the Doctor! The Doctor latches on and even though the TARDIS catches fire a little (it gets better), he finds his way to Earth!

Unfortunately, Harriet Jones (former Prime Minister) is found by the Daleks and sacrifices herself in a noble and dignified fashion. Good show, Harriet. Good show.

Everyone is happy to see each other. Ianto checks out the Doctor, Donna picks the worst possible moment in history to start fancying Jack, but all of this "outer space Facebook" action is wrecked by a very familiar voice. The Doctor and Sarah Jane recognize... Davros, who we last saw [[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E1RemembranceOfTheDaleks fleeing the destruction of the Imperial Dalek mothership]] and, according to the Doctor, was thought to have died during the Time War.

The Doctor takes off, and everyone goes after him. The Daleks go on alert, Jack gets his vortex manipulator working again with a little help from Martha's UNIT knowledge and teleports away, Sarah Jane drives off leaving Luke with Mr. Smith, Martha is ordered by UNIT to blip out and activate something called the Osterhagen key, and Rose zaps after the TARDIS.

Rose is the one that finds him first.

Rose and the Doctor see each other across a destroyed street. [[MeadowRun Overjoyed, they run towards each other]], but before they reach each other, a Dalek appears and zaps the Doctor. Jack appears and blows up the Dalek. Rose, Donna and Jack gather around the Doctor, but it is clear he is dying. They take him back to the TARDIS.

The Daleks are closing in on team Torchwood and Sarah Jane. The Doctor begins to regenerate, energy bursting from him in a bright orange display.\\\

!!Tropes:

* FiveFiveFive: The Doctor's mobile phone number uses an 07700-900xxx number, which is Ofcom's reserved range for mobile drama numbers.
* ActorAllusion: Creator/BernardCribbins facing down a Dalek? [[Film/DaleksInvasionEarth2150AD Not the first time!]]
* AlienAnimals: Why are the bees disappearing? Turns out that a large chunk of the bees of Earth are actually aliens, who were returning home because they sensed something bad was going to happen.
* AlienSky: The first on-world clue that something very wrong's happening to the Earth. [[http://i.imgur.com/UUl4I.jpg To wit.]]
* AndStarring: "With Creator/ElisabethSladen And Creator/BilliePiper".
* ArbitraryScepticism:
** The lady in charge of the Shadow Proclamation claims Time Lords are "the stuff of legends" and that the Doctor cannot possibly exist. While she's talking to him. The Doctor doesn't bother trying to argue with her about it as he's in a hurry.
** When Wilf's daughter tells Wilf that him and Rose discuss [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight where Donna last was]], he snipes back that there's no point in denying alien phenomena when it already fills the Earth's sky.
* ArcWords: "There was something on your back."
* AttackPatternAlpha: Dalek Attack Formation Seven is apparently a straight line.
* BackFromTheDead: Davros, who at this point has to be considered a professional resurrector. In this case, Dalek Caan fished him (and possibly his ship) out of the Nightmare Child's mouth.
* BaitAndSwitchComment:
--> '''Donna:''' Are you saying that bees are aliens?
--> '''The Doctor:''' Don't be daft. [beat] Not all of them.
* BatterUp: Wilf initially arms himself with a cricket bat against any alien invaders, although he switches to a paintball gun once he sees what he's dealing with.
* BenchedHero: While everyone else is dealing with the Daleks, the Doctor is missing — or to be more exact, the Earth is missing. The Doctor can't find the planet he has to save. When he does return, Jack is less than happy with him.
-->'''Jack:''' WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Wilf is a kindly old man that you just want to give hugs too. What happens when stuff apparently starts going wrong? He arms himself with a cricket bat and then threatens the "green swine". Later on he starts shooting Daleks with paintball guns.
* {{BFG}}:
** Wielded by Rose and Captain Jack, and {{Lampshaded}} by Rose when driving off a pair of looters.
--->'''Rose:''' [[DoubleEntendre Do you like my gun?]]
** Ianto and Gwen also arm themselves with {{BFG}}s and decide to go out fighting and screaming.
* BigBad: Davros created the New Dalek Empire and seems to have some authority over them, although the next episode [[spoiler:suggests the situation isn't as it appears here]].
* BigDamnHeroes: "[[/folder]]

[[folder: Hostility will not be tolerated! Exterminate! Exterminate!! Extermi– ]]
" *BLAM*
-->'''Wilf:''' D'you wanna swap? ''[his paintball gun with Rose's BFG-9000]''
* BlatantLies: "I'll just... get you the key." Then the Shadow Architect is left screaming impotently as the TARDIS dematerializes.
* BodyHorror: Davros reveals he gave himself to the Daleks... ''literally''... he grew them out of ''cells from his own body''. Normal cloning procedure? In his enthusiasm, he ended up using up most of the flesh on his chest, baring his rib cage with his still-beating heart being visible.
* TheBrigadier: General Sanchez is the ranking UNIT officer in this episode.
* TheBusCameBack: Why, hello there, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E4DaleksInManhattan Dalek]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E5EvolutionOfTheDaleks Caan]]! And looking ''considerably'' the worse for wear. Unprotected jaunts through the Time Vortex will do that.
* CallBack:
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth The Doctor remembers someone tried to move the Earth before]], and it turned out to be the same ones who did it this time.
** A great many of the planets.
*** "Clom. Clom's gone; who'd want Clom?" (Clom, twin world to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E4AliensOfLondon Raxacoricafallapatorius]], is the home of the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E10LoveAndMonsters Absorbaloff]].)
*** Woman Wept, a planet Rose mentioned visiting in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E11BoomTown Boom Town]]".
*** "The Lost Moon of Poosh" was the subject of Dee Dee Blasco's research paper in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight Midnight]]".
*** Pyrovilia was the planet of the Pyroviles, as stated in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii The Fires of Pompeii]]".
*** Adipose 3, which was said to have "been lost" prior to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E1PartnersInCrime Partners in Crime]]". (Although Miss Foster didn't seem to know it was ''literally'' missing.)
** Furthermore, remember how in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks Genesis of the Daleks]]", Kaled Senior Researcher Ronson said Harry didn't resemble any lifeform on Skaro except for external appearance? When Davros opens his shirt we see why.
** The Doctor seems ready to repeat his "I have only one thing to say to you" bit from the previous year's finale...except, since this is Davros, all he has to say is "BYE!"
* TheCameo:
** Named on screen. UsefulNotes/RichardDawkins, famous British scientist (although best known for a book called ''The God Delusion'' and inventing the word "meme") appears on screen as himself. Dawkins was married at the time to Creator/LallaWard, who played the second Romana.
** Paul O'Grady also appears on his chat show making light of the stolen planets.
* CelebrityParadox: UsefulNotes/RichardDawkins, who appears in the episode, was married at the time to Creator/LallaWard, who played Romana II in the classic series.
* ChekhovsGun:
** The Shadow Proclamation is finally revealed after having first been mentioned in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose Rose]]". Turns out that it's the posh name for the SpacePolice, who are named after the document they enforce.
** The Medusa Cascade was previously mentioned in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords "Last of the Time Lords"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight "Midnight"]], and it turns out to be where the Daleks are hiding out.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Rose is disappointed she can only watch and listen in on the subwave network. When Martha, the only one she hasn't met, appears and is introduced as a former companion, she changes her tone to offended.
* ContinuityNod:
** The Doctor connecting the Earth being stolen with the Daleks is a reference to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]", in which they planned to replace the planet's core with an engine. It could also be a reference to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E1TheMysteriousPlanet The Mysterious Planet]]."
--->"Someone tried to move the Earth before, but that was a long ago..."
** The Time Lords themselves [[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E1TheMysteriousPlanet moved]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E4TheUltimateFoe the Earth]] prior to the events of season 23, "The Trial of a Time Lord".
** Many of the stolen planets have been mentioned previously.
** Just as in her [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E1SmithAndJones first episode]], Martha wonders if the teleportation of a building/planet was an earthquake. "What was that? Felt like an earthquake or something."
** UNIT's Project Indigo is made from looted Sontaran tech, from those Sontarans who came visiting [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E4TheSontaranStratagem a few months back]].
** Harriet's subwave communicator was built with the help of the Mr. Copper Foundation (Mr. Copper being the passenger from "[[Recap/DoctorWho2007CSVoyageOfTheDamned Voyage of the Damned]]" who became a millionaire).
** There's a direct quotation from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]", when the Daleks demand that every human leave their homes: "[[/folder]]

[[folder: the males, the females, the descendants ]]
". The Daleks also call themselves "the Masters of Earth".
** The Anti-Dalek gun that Jack is using is the modified Defabricator from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E12BadWolf Bad Wolf]]"/"[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays The Parting of the Ways]]"; apparently he's modified it beyond one shot.
** Sarah Jane is the only person besides the Doctor to recognise Davros, having met him back in his very first appearance — if by "met" you mean "he tortured her to get information from the Doctor". No wonder she's so scared of him. In the next episode, Davros himself recognizes Sarah Jane's voice and comments on her being on Skaro "when it all began".
** The Medusa Cascade is hidden beyond a Time Barrier, first introduced in the Fourth Doctor serial "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E4TheFaceOfEvil The Face of Evil]]". It was also briefly mentioned in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight Midnight]]" when the Doctor was saying random things to the planet's creature.
** The Cascade is also [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E4TheSontaranStratagem one second out of sync with the rest of the universe]].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E3SchoolReunion This isn't the first time]] Rose has been all GreenEyedMonster over another companion.
** Wilfred taking on a Dalek, and not for the first time (actor Bernard Cribbins played the cop who stumbled into the TARDIS in the spin-off film ''Film/DaleksInvasionEarth2150AD'').
** Donna last phoned home from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight the planet called Midnight]].
** Jack compliments Sarah for her [[Recap/TheSarahJaneAdventuresS1E1E2RevengeOfTheSlitheen nice job with the Slitheen]].
** Gwen tells Ianto that she's going to go out fighting, like Owen and Tosh, referring to [[Recap/TorchwoodS2E13ExitWounds their deaths]].
** Davros had his right hand blown off back in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E6RevelationOfTheDaleks Revelation of the Daleks]]," and now has a cybernetic prosthetic in its place.
** The bees being alien may be a subtle one to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E3DeltaAndTheBannermen Delta and the Bannermen]]," which implied that (at least some) bees are super-intelligent.
* CouchGag: To hammer home the fact this episode is ''a big deal'' and a CrisisCrossover, instead of the usual two names (Doctor and companion) in the opening credits, the opening is jam-packed with names — including Creator/ElisabethSladen getting her first-ever above-the-title credit on ''Doctor Who'' — and for the first time additional actors are credited over the first post-credits scene as well. This "couch gag" is repeated in the next episode, as well, with even ''more'' names.
* CrisisCrossover: Ianto, Jack and Gwen from ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', and Sarah Jane, Luke and Mr. Smith from ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'', and Rose and Martha and Harriet Jones and basically everyone connected to the show since Rusty got hold of it (except Mickey and K9... [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd for now]]) all turn up.
* CrypticBackgroundReference: The Doctor is astonished by Davros' return, as he last saw his flagship being destroyed by some kind of EldritchAbomination.
-->"But you were destroyed. In the very first year of the Time War, at the Gates of Elysium. I saw your command ship fly into the jaws of the Nightmare Child!"
* CurbStompBattle: The Daleks completely overrun Earth, including defeating the world’s air forces and destroying the futuristic helicarrier ''Valiant'', within mere minutes.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Lampshaded when Sarah mentions she stays away from Torchwood due to "too many guns".
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Shadow Proclamation, even with a name like that (literally too, their uniforms are all-black), appear to be good guys. Though you could easily make a case for them being GoodIsNotNice. They have [[LawfulStupid the Judoon]] as enforcers and demand the Doctor hand over his TARDIS so they can go to war.
* DoNotGoGentle: Gwen plans to go out shooting at a Dalek with an assault rifle, and talks Ianto into doing the same by reminding him how Owen and Tosh "went out fighting".
* DramaticGunCock: The [=BFGs=] are pump-action, to allow for extra emphasis.
* TheDreaded: The Daleks. If you doubt, observe the Companions' reactions when they hear the Daleks' battlecry. Jack says that he and his employees are already dead and gives up, even though he himself is immortal. Sarah starts bawling and mourning for her still alive son because he won't be alive much longer. The Doctor himself goes into shell shock when he sees Davros.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Supreme Dalek thinks that Dalek Caan is insane, and an abomination. It's implied Davros is the only thing keeping the Daleks from killing Caan out of disgust, and he seems to be doing so out of genuine gratitude that Caan saved him from the Time War.
* EvilIsNotWellLit: Davros is hidden in shadow for the better part of the episode.
* ExtradimensionalEmergencyExit: It turns out that Caan's EmergencyTemporalShift took him to a time period so far removed from history that it might as be another dimension: the Time War, a nonlinear period of conflict occurring in no specific time but somehow engulfing the entire universe; it's so catastrophic that the war was time-locked, meaning that time machines shouldn't be able to access it... and yet Caan managed it - gaining a glimpse of all time at the cost of his own sanity.
* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: Harriet.
-->'''Harriet:''' ''[[[FaceDeathWithDignity calmly]]]'' Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister.\\
'''Dalek:''' [[/folder]]

[[folder: [[Running Gag Yes, we know who you are. ]]
]]\\
'''Harriet:''' Oh you know nothing of any human. And that will be your downfall.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Martha is given something called the Osterhagen Key. When Harriet Jones finds out that she has it, she immediately gets angry and orders her not to use it...
* GenreBlindness: The Shadow Proclamation know who the Doctor is (sort of), but they think he's going to fight a war for them. Then they let him "fetch (his) keys", and he predictably does a run'a.
* GoForTheEye: Subverted. "[[/folder]]

[[folder: My vision is ''not'' impaired! ]]
" That's ''both'' of the Daleks' age-old weaknesses removed. No longer will they be stymied by a third-floor walk-up and a can of spray paint! Even being ''pushed over'' was shown to be a Dalek-killer in the original series. The former is implied to have been solved in the episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek Dalek]]" (Rose touching the Dalek and surviving was because it wanted her to; dialogue suggests the first guy to do that got turned into a human torch).
* GondorCallsForAid: With a side order of EpicHail: Mr. Smith has the entire world call the same phone number at once to contact the Doctor.
* GreenEyedMonster: Befitting her usual pettiness on the subject, Rose is incredibly jealous of Martha's status as a companion, even quibbing hoe she "was here first". This despite Sarah Jane being just to the left, and Rose not knowing when Martha travelled with the Doctor.
* HeroicBSOD: Sarah Jane and Jack react to the Daleks this way, pulling their loved ones close and giving in to despair. It's particularly notable in Jack's case, since his first death was at the hands of Daleks. It takes Harriet Jones, [[RunningGag former Prime Minister]], to break them out of it.
* HeroicSacrifice: Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister, knows that the Daleks will trace the subwave system back to her location and exterminate her, and she does so anyway to alert the Doctor.
* HopeSpot: A really obvious one, too; the Doctor and Rose finally see and run towards each other. Their reunion, however, is interrupted at the last second by a [[HeroKiller Dalek]] shooting the Doctor.
* HumansAreSpecial: The Doctor is practically giddy when his friends manage to reach him, impressed by their intelligence and resolve.
* IHaveJustOneThingToSay: "After all this time... everything we saw, everything we lost... I have only one thing to say to you: ''BYE!''"
* InternalHomage: "Ladies and gentleman, we are at war!" was used, with slightly different inflection, by Captain Jack in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays The Parting of the Ways]]".
* TheInternetIsForPorn: Wilfred isn't allowed to have a webcam because Sylvia thinks they're naughty.
* ItHasBeenAnHonour: Harriet, to the companions. Jack salutes her as a show of respect, even addressing her as "ma'm".
* ItsAllAboutMe: When the Doctor starts regenerating, having been killed by a Dalek, Rose's only complaint is that it's not fair to ''her.''
* JustOneSecondOutOfSync: How the Daleks hide the stolen planets. They have also done this to the ''entire'' Medusa Cascade. This causes the Doctor some difficulty when attempting to get to Earth.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Gwen spoils the [[Recap/TorchwoodS2E13ExitWounds finale of Series 2]] of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' by remarking that if she has to die, she plans to go down fighting like Owen and Tosh.
* LaughingMad: Sweet Gallifrey, Dalek Caan, the first Dalek to ever laugh. This is because he lost his mind breaking through the time lock on the Last Great Time War — though as revealed in the next episode, [[spoiler:some of this is ObfuscatingInsanity]].
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The Supreme Dalek just happens to be a funky deep red.
* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: When Sarah Jane says "Mr. Smith, I need you!" the Mr. Smith music plays as her MagicalComputer reveals itself, as it does every time on ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' — and Sarah Jane says, "I wish you would stop giving me that fanfare."
* LighterAndSofter: Out of necessity, the more adult aspects of ''Torchwood'' are omitted in order to allow the characters to appear on a show that is aimed at a younger demographic and crosses over with a series with an even ''younger'' viewership; none of them swear, Gwen's husband is kept off-screen to avoid any kissing, they only shoot at a Dalek to avoid showing blood and they enforce more gun safety.
* MadOracle: Dalek Caan lost the ability to think rationally and gained the ability to prophesize the future in the same incident.
* MamaBear: Sarah Jane, after saving her son from all manner of alien nasties in her own series, falls into despair because she can't repeat the feat against the Daleks.
* MarsNeedsWomen: Wilfred's first guess as to the purpose of the invasion. Hence, he tells his daughter to stay inside.
* MassOhCrap: The entire supporting cast when they first hear the Daleks, and especially Sarah Jane, Jack and Ianto; Sarah Jane breaks into sobs and clutches her son, Jack just plain gives up, and Ianto, one of the only survivors of Canary Wharf, knows exactly what's coming and appears to be briefly in shock.
* MeadowRun: Subverted. Rose and the Doctor run to each other in the streets, full of joy and eagerness, and then a Dalek comes out of nowhere and shoots the Doctor.
* MeaningfulName: The home planet of the alien bees is called Melissa Majoria. Guess what "Melissa" means in Greek.[[labelnote:*]][[DontExplainTheJoke honeybee]][[/labelnote]]
* MistakenForQuake: Martha, on waking up after the theft of the Earth:
-->'''Martha:''' What was that? Felt like an earthquake or something...
* MonumentalTheft: Taken to an extreme, with the Daleks' theft of ''the Earth'' (and numerous other planets).
* MoodWhiplash:
** [[FacingTheBulletsOneLiner Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister.]]
--->'''Dalek:''' [[/folder]]

[[folder: [[Running Gag Yes, we know who you are. ]]
]]\\
'''Harriet:''' Oh, you know nothing of any human. And that will be your downfall.\\
''[[[CharacterDeath extermination sounds]]]''
** Martha's alive! And with her mum, safe and sound. And she's still got the Osterhagen key an-... and suddenly Harriet Jones is outraged.
** The Doctor's found the Earth, and gotten through to all his friends. Suddenly the screen shorts out, and despite the Doctor's hopes, the person who's taken over isn't Rose... it's Davros.
* MusicalSpoiler: The Dalek theme plays as the ColdOpen draws to a close, six minutes before their introduction proper.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Averted with the Shadow Proclamation, who seem to be good guys, if a bit slow on the uptake.
* NegativeContinuity: Davros' reduction to being just a head encased in the Dalek Emperor casing back in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E1RemembranceOfTheDaleks Remembrance of the Daleks]]" (and, if you follow the audio plays, the destruction of his original personality and his becoming the Dalek Emperor mentally as well) is undone here, and he appears as the Davros we know and love. In a neat aversion, the loss of his hand in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E6RevelationOfTheDaleks Revelation of the Daleks]]" is followed up on, and he is shown to have a mechanical replacement here. Perhaps forgivable considering it was called a ''Time War'' for a reason, and that reconstructing yourself is hardly beyond the capabilities of a genius scientist like Davros.
* NeverGiveTheCaptainAStraightAnswer: Martha's colleague Susanne ("Just look at the sky!"), Mr. Smith to Sarah Jane ("I think you'll find the visual evidence most conclusive.").
* NoSell: Wilf has the good idea of trying to impair Dalek vision with a paintball gun. Doesn't work, though.
* NoodleIncident: The Doctor last saw Davros during the Time War when his command ship "flew into the jaws of the Nightmare Child".
* OhCrap:
** At the Shadow Proclamation headquarters, the Doctor has a moment of this when he remembers the ''last'' time someone tried to move the Earth.
** The Doctor, on seeing Davros on the monitor. Donna has to remind him that he's not really there.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Harriet Jones (former Prime Minister) is all stoic and dignified even in the face of a Dalek invasion, and Jack being Jack — but when Martha brings out the Osterhagen key, she gets properly angry for the first time we've ever seen, snapping at Martha and Jack to ''never'' mention it again.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Invoked on a meta level — Scottish Creator/DavidTennant was almost incapable of pronouncing the Judoon language in the English accent he used as the Doctor, so they made him do it just to screw with him.
** Somewhat hilariously, it shouldn't even be necessary, as the TARDIS always translates alien languages. Thus making it even more obvious that it was only added to mess with him.
** Martha Jones' superior is General Sanchez, supposedly an American. However, while his accent is adequate, his lines and body language are relentlessly, flagrantly British. This is especially true in his last moments when rather than taking cover and firing one-handed, or dropping into the two-handed Weaver stance used by the Americans, he leaves cover and uses a hand-over-hand British technique. Sanchez is played by an American actor ([[Series/DempseyAndMakepeace Micheal Brandon]]), albeit one who has spent the past thirty-odd years living in the UK.
* PlanetaryRelocation: The Daleks move the Earth and 26 other planets through time and space to serve as transmitters for [[DoomsdayDevice their Reality Bomb]], making a shell to prevent the planets from freezing over for test subjects.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Creator/BilliePiper, Creator/FreemaAgyeman, Creator/JohnBarrowman and Creator/ElisabethSladen are all added to the title credits, with Creator/PenelopeWilton, Adjoa Andoh, Tommy Knight, Creator/EveMyles, and Creator/GarethDavidLloyd in a post-title caption (a series first).
* RedBaron: Dalek Caan refers to the Doctor as "The DarkLord".
* RedAlert: UNIT starts the episode at this level. Once they realise the Daleks are attacking, they switch to ''Ultimate'' [[FromBadToWorse Red Alert]].
* RedshirtArmy: UNIT's American branch, who wear the same uniforms as their British counterparts, are gunned down by the Dalek army.
* ResistanceIsFutile: Or rather, useless because DALEKS REIGN SUPREME!
* RuleOfDrama: The Daleks really had nothing to gain in actually attacking Earth. They had the planet for a different purpose — they didn't need to go there for the BigBad's plan to work. However, while Earth is in their plunger anyway, might as well let the Daleks blow off some steam and give the writers some exciting sequences to write.
** It may also have a practical purpose by stopping Earth from contacting the Doctor. If Martha hadn't escaped their attack on UNIT then she couldn't have given Harriet the Doctor's number, and he may never have found the Earth.
** It's also well within character for the Daleks to slaughter large numbers of people even when it provides no tactical advantage, as demonstrated [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays in their attack on Satellite Five]].
* RunningGag:
** "Yes, we know who you are!" Even the Daleks. %% It's not Narm, the Daleks' use was clearly intended to be equal measures funny and creepy.
** Jack being told to stop flirting.
* ShoutOut:
** [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy The first to leave Earth ahead of the crisis are the bees.]]
** "It's like an outer-space Website/{{Facebook}}!"
** [[Film/ANewHope Their position's correct, but... no Earth.]]
* SignificantAnagram: "Osterhagen", as in the Osterhagen Key, is an anagram of "Earth's Gone". A possible MeaningfulName too: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osterhagen Osterhagen]] is the name of a Nazi concentration camp 1944-1945 near the German city of the same name.
* TheStarscream: {{Averted|Trope}}; the Daleks don't even ''pretend'' to respect Davros this time, and are keeping him as a "pet". The Supreme Dalek is clearly in charge from start to finish, hence the name. The only thing they do for Davros is keep Dalek Caan around, and that mainly because his prophecies also benefit them.
* SuddenlyShouting: "The bees are disappearing? The bees are disappearing? [[RuleOfThree THE BEES ARE DISAPPEARING?]]"
* TestedOnHumans: Davros tests his [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ multiverse-destroying]], matter-vaporizer gun on people collected from the streets of London. (The Daleks don't even have to hit anything, just turn it on and bye-bye multiverse.)
* ThereIsAnother: There are always more Daleks. In this case, Dalek Caan rescued Davros from the Nightmare Child back during the Last Great Time War and he recreated the Daleks from himself.
* TimeIsDangerous: Dalek Caan is driven LaughingMad by his accidental breach of the time lock on the Time War.
* ToBeContinued: Hardly a first for the series, but it's the first time that the words appear on screen (one-by-one for bonus points), compared to the previous multi-part stories in the revival that cliffhang with a "To Be Continued..." placed below the series' logo. And unlike the first parts of previous multi-part stories in the revival (aside from the "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E5RiseOfTheCybermen Rise of the Cybermen]]"), there is '''no''' "Next Time" trailer placed after the credits. They really did double down on that cliffhanger.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Gwen and Ianto taking on the Daleks with [=G36s=].
** This entire episode goes out of its way to establish the position of ex-Companion as a badass prestige class, even giving them a cool collective name as "The Children of Time".
* UnflinchingWalk: When a Dalek ship shoots out a building right behind her, Rose doesn't even ''blink''.
* TheWarRoom: UNIT's New York office declares red alert and plans the counter attack.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Subverted. Wilfred shoots a Dalek in the eye with a paintball gun, figuring that he can render it blind, but it simply burns the paint off.
* WhamEpisode: The Daleks are back in huge numbers, they've stolen the Earth, and they have ''Davros'' with them.
* WhamLine:
** "Supreme one. Is there news of ''him''?"
** "Why don't you ask her yourself?"
** "Your voice is different. Yet its arrogance remains unchanged."
** "[[/folder]]

[[folder: Exterminate! ]]
"
* WrittenInAbsence: Aside from Luke and Mr. Smith, none of the supporting cast from ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' appear. Clyde is with his mother and Maria is with her dad in Cornwall.
* YouShallNotPass: The American UNIT general and a random RedShirt single-handedly stand against an oncoming Dalek force to give Martha Jones time to teleport away... and, of course, get lasered rather quickly. After all, these are ''Daleks'' we're talking about.
