13 Earth-Shattering Doctor Who Moments From The Last 10 Years
12. Daleks Vs Cybermen (Doomsday)
It was bound to happen eventually. The Daleks and the Cybermen are two of Doctor Who's most iconic - and not to mention ruthlessly persistent - villains and as such it's surprising that it took as long as it did to get both of them in one episode. They're constantly returning to take yet another bash at world domination so it was only a matter of time until their attempts crossed fire. That fateful moment finally arrived during the climactic Series 2 finale when the two of the universe's deadliest adversaries came face to face for one of the greatest showdowns in sci-fi history. Doomsday indeed. Fans would've no doubt been satisfied with just the Cybermen wreaking all kinds of havoc but the human upgrades were no doubt pretty peeved when they found out they would be sharing the spotlight with another formidable foe. The shock appearance of the popular pepperpots at the end of Army of Ghosts made for one of the most memorable cliffhangers of all time and their long awaited on screen encounter is still fondly remembered as . It was every fanboy's dream come true.
