The Stop Button Guide To Doctor Who 2005: Four

The fourth season of the 2005 revival of Doctor Who was a rollercoaster of emotions, from the highs of "Voyage of the Damned" to the lows of "The Doctor's Daughter." But overall, it was a strong season that continued to build on the success of the previous three.

David Tennant was once again excellent as the Doctor, and Catherine Tate was a welcome addition to the cast as his new companion, Donna Noble. Billie Piper also returned for a guest appearance in the first episode of the season, "Partners in Crime."
