Series 4

Series 4 of Doctor Who ran from April 2008 to June 2008, though it was accompanied by lots of specials and mini-episodes due to the fact that the BBC didn't feel like making a series of Doctor Who in 2009, so technically this series ended on New Year's Day, 2010. This series starred David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna. This series also featured Alex Kingston as River Song, Billie Piper as Rose, Freema Agyeman as Martha, Noel Clarke as Mickey, John Barrowman as Captain Jack, Elizabeth Sladen as Sarah-Jane, and basically every other random character from the Russell T. Davies era that you can think of.

Overview
Often regarded as being among the best of the New Series, Series 4 is undoubtedly overrated, but there are some genuinely good stories in here. We get our first multi-Doctor story of the New Series which was made into a Children in Need mini-episode instead of being an actual story. We get Donna back who undergoes one of the best companion character development arcs of the show only for the entire thing to be literally erased in the last episode. We get Davros back, but he's hammed up to the max and gets defeated by someone pressing some buttons in his basement. There are some good things about this series though, in that the Tenth Doctor finally dies and there's an episode set almost entirely in one room which is surprisingly brilliant.
