Doctor Who: 5 Best Dalek Defeats In NuWho
3. Foiled By The Doctor-Donna, Journey's End, Series 4
Things aren't looking good for the Tenth Doctor and his friends.
They have been captured by Davros and his Dalek army, who have repositioned twenty-seven planets, including Earth, in order to use them as a Reality Bomb that will wipe out all of creation. Davros activates the bomb, but thankfully, just as the countdown reaches zero, Donna manages to reach the controls and stop it, due to the fact that, after an accident involving the Meta-Crisis Doctor earlier in the episode, Donna now possesses a Timelord's mind, becoming the prophesised DoctorDonna.
Donna is also able to disable the Daleks, resulting in a humorous scene of the companions pushing them around the ship. Later, the Meta-Crisis Doctor uses the ship's remaining operational machinery to ensure all the Daleks are destroyed, and The Doctor and his companions escape in the Tardis together.
Unfortunately, the victory does not come without a cost. A Timelord mind is too much for Donna's human brain to handle. To prevent Donna's brain from being burnt up, The Doctor is forced to erase all her memories of him. The Donna who travelled with The Doctor is effectively dead, and The Doctor is alone in the universe once more.
