List of episodes (2005–present)

"Journey's End" is the thirteenth and final episode of the fourth series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast on BBC One on 5 July 2008. It is the second episode of a two-part crossover story featuring the characters of spin-off shows Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, preceded by "The Stolen Earth", which aired on 28 June.

It was longer than the standard episode length for Doctor Who. It marked the final regular appearances of every companion introduced in the Russell T Davies era, including Catherine Tate as Donna Noble. In the episode, the Tenth Doctor and his former companions prepare to stop the Daleks' universe-destroying Reality Bomb.

"Journey's End" received mostly positive reviews, largely for the emotional core of the episode and its effect on characters. Some reviews were more mixed than the previous episode, finding the plot to be under-developed and silly. The episode was the most-viewed programme of the week, the first Doctor Who episode to receive this rank.
