The second series of British science fiction programme Doctor Who began on 25 December 2005 with the Christmas special “The Christmas Invasion”. Following the special, a regular series of thirteen episodes was broadcast, starting with “New Earth” on 15 April 2006. In addition, two short special episodes were produced; a Children in Need special and an interactive episode, as well as 13 TARDISODEs. This is the first series to feature David Tennant as the tenth incarnation of the Doctor. He continues to travel with his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), with whom he has grown increasingly attached. They also briefly travel with Rose’s boyfriend Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), and Camille Coduri reprises her role as Rose’s mother Jackie. (Wikipedia)
