===Conception===
[[File:Space City 2016 - Billie Piper (26730678884).jpg|thumb|left|''Doomsday'' featured the departure of [[Rose Tyler]] portrayed by [[Billie Piper]] (''pictured'') who made the decision to leave the role a year prior.]]
The concept of the Daleks and Cybermen appearing together on screen is not new; in December 1967, the BBC approached [[Terry Nation]] to have both races in a serial, but Nation vetoed this idea. The concept came to Davies while mapping out the 2006 series: the story would both serve to resurrect the popular Daleks and provide a suitable exit for Piper, who had decided to leave ''Doctor Who'' after two series.<ref name="companion">{{cite magazine|last=Pixley|first=Andrew|date=August 2006|title=Army of Ghosts/Doomsday|magazine=Doctor Who Magazine|publisher=Panini Comics|volume=The Doctor Who Companion: Series 2|location=Royal Tunbridge Wells|issue=Special Edition 14|pages=92–101}}</ref> "Doomsday" is the first episode in the history of ''Doctor Who'' where the Cybermen and the Daleks appear on-screen together; Cybermen and Daleks were both featured in ''"[[The Five Doctors]]''" and "[[Army of Ghosts]]", but in separate scenes.<ref>{{cite serial | title = [[The Five Doctors]] | series = [[Doctor Who]] | credits = [[Terrance Dicks]] (writer), [[Peter Moffatt]], [[John Nathan-Turner]] (uncredited) (directors), John Nathan-Turner (producer) | network = [[BBC]] | station = [[BBC1]] | airdate = 23 November 1983}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode | title = [[Army of Ghosts]] | series = [[Doctor Who]] | series-no = 2 | number = 12 | credits = [[Russell T Davies]] (writer), [[Graeme Harper]] (director), [[Phil Collinson]] (producer) | network = [[BBC]] | station = [[BBC One]] | airdate = 1 July 2006}}</ref>
 
The two-part finale was originally going to take place in Cardiff on the [[Cardiff Rift|time rift]], which was the focus of the episodes "[[The Unquiet Dead]]" and "[[Boom Town (Doctor Who)|Boom Town]]". When ''Torchwood'' was commissioned in 2005, Davies decided to base the spin-off in Cardiff and relocate "Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday" to [[Canary Wharf]] in London.<ref name="companion" />
Line 65:
An item of discussion between the production staff was over who would rescue Rose; Davies and Julie Gardner wanted Pete to rescue her, while Clarke and Phil Collinson wanted Mickey. The role was ultimately given to Pete, to emphasise that he had accepted Rose as a surrogate daughter.<ref name="companion" /> The Doctor's intended reply to Rose was also discussed; Davies, who left the reply unspecified, stated he didn't know when asked by Collinson on the episode's [[DVD commentary|commentary track]], and Gardner vehemently believed the Doctor would reciprocate Rose's love.<ref name="pod" />
 
Some elements of the story were inspired by [[Philip Pullman]]'s ''[[His Dark Materials]]'' trilogy. Pullman was "flattered" by the references in the episode, and compared Davies' actions to his own practice of referencing works.<ref>{{cite news | title = Would Pullman write for Dr Who? | publisher = [[Newsround]] | date = 7 December 2007 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_7130000/newsid_7132700/7132741.stm | access-date = 9 December 2007 | archive-date = 2 December 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121202112034/http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_7130000/newsid_7132700/7132741.stm | url-status = live }}</ref>
 
===Filming===
Line 71:
To ensure that Clarke and Dingwall were available for filming, the story was filmed in the season's third production block with "[[Rise of the Cybermen]]" and "[[The Age of Steel]]". Filming for the story started on 2 November 2005 on location in [[Kennington]], London, but did not become the primary focus of the production crew until 29 November, when filming began on the scenes in and around the sphere chamber. The scenes of the Tyler family residence in Pete's World were filmed at Coedarhydyglyn on 21 November, and the subsequent scene of the Tylers driving through Norway was filmed at Bridgend on 6 December. Scenes in the lever room, the main setting for the story, were filmed on 12–15 December 2005 and 3–5 January 2006. [[Greenscreen]] work for Rose being sucked into the void took place on 13 January, and the skirmish between the military and Cybermen on the bridge was filmed on 15 January.<ref name="companion" />
 
Other location shooting took place at the Coal Exchange and Mount Stuart Square, [[Cardiff Bay]].<ref>{{cite web

===Critical reception and later release===
"Doomsday" is one of the most popular episodes of the revived ''Doctor Who''. It gained an audience [[Appreciation Index]] (AI) of 89, which was the highest figure for nearly two years—it was later surpassed by "[[The Stolen Earth]]", which had an AI of 91<ref name="SEAI">{{cite web|url=http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2008/06/stolen-earth-ai-figure-and-digital_4031.html|title=The Stolen Earth – AI and Digital Ratings|first=Matt|last=Hilton|date=30 June 2008|publisher=[[Doctor Who News Page]]|access-date=30 June 2008|archive-date=6 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406163309/http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2008/06/stolen-earth-ai-figure-and-digital_4031.html?m=1|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="SAJ88">{{cite web|url=http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2007/04/smith-and-jones-ai-figure_5305.html|title=Smith and Jones AI figure|date=2 April 2007|access-date=24 January 2008|first=Matt|last=Hilton|publisher=[[Doctor Who News Page]]|archive-date=5 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150405081723/http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2007/04/smith-and-jones-ai-figure_5305.html?m=1|url-status=live}}</ref>—and is the first episode of ''Doctor Who'' to receive a perfect 10 rating on ''[[IGN]]'',<ref name="IGN">{{citeCite web |last=Haque |first=Ahsan |date=2006-12-23 |title=Doctor Who: "Doomsday" Review |url=httphttps://uk.tvwww.ign.com/indexarticles/reviews.html?constraint.floor.article.overall_rating=10&constraint.return_all=is_true&sort.attribute=article.overall_rating&sort.order=desc2006/12/23/doctor-who-doomsday-review |titleaccess-date=Television reviews; Score: 102023-12-01 |website=IGN |access-datelanguage=2 November 2007en |archive-date=2228 DecemberSeptember 2006 |url-status=dead2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/2011071300561420230928031044/httphttps://uk.tvwww.ign.com/indexarticles/reviews.html?constraint.floor.article.overall_rating=10&constraint.return_all=is_true&sort.attribute=article.overall_rating&sort.order=desc2006/12/23/doctor-who-doomsday-review |archiveurl-datestatus=13 Julylive 2011}}</ref> who congratulated Davies on making an action-packed episode so emotional.<ref name="ign_review">{{cite web|first=Ahsan|last=Haque|date=22 December 2006|url=http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/752/752207p1.html|access-date=2 November 2007|title=Doomsday review|website=IGN|archive-date=6 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120206061817/http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/752/752207p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[Television Without Pity]]'' gave the episode an A+ rating.<ref name="TWP">{{cite web|first=Jacob |last=Clifton |url=http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/doctor_who/doomsday_2.php |publisher=[[Television Without Pity]] |title=Hold the Line With Me: Doomsday recap |work=Doctor Who reviews |date=31 December 2006 |access-date=2 November 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080421200137/http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/doctor_who/doomsday_2.php |archive-date=21 April 2008}}</ref> ''[[The Stage]]'' commented that the Dalek–Cybermen conflict was the "only thing worth watching" at the weekend, overshadowing even the [[2006 FIFA World Cup Final|World Cup Final]], and that the parting scene was "beautifully written and movingly played," with "not a dry eye in the universe".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thestage.co.uk/features/feature.php/13256/tv-review|title=TV review|date=17 July 2006|access-date=22 December 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220193003/http://www.thestage.co.uk/features/feature.php/13256/tv-review|archive-date=20 February 2012|newspaper=[[The Stage]]|first=Harry|last=Venning}}</ref> Dek Hogan of ''[[Digital Spy]]'' felt that the episode was "beautifully balanced and with moments of high excitement and touching poignancy" and that the single oil tear shed by the Cyberman version of Hartman was a "nice touch".
