Series 4 had several meanings to the series. It consisted of a dependable amount of episodes considering what people thought included in it. It started with Doctor Who's second Children in Need special, Time Crash, slotted neatly between the end of series 3 and the start of the 2007 Christmas Special. The main series began after in 2008 until Journey's End (and then with Music of the Spheres, and The Next Doctor), but continued into the 2009 Specials for convenience (however, they(including The Next Doctor) will be listed in the 2009 Specials for our convenience). Series 4 introduced River Song, brought back every companion and their families since 2005 and first featured the 2 spin-offs all within the series finale, as well as the return of Davros, the Ood and the Sontarans with Martha Jones. Series 4 had the return of Rose, disappearing bees, lost planets, and the darkness all drawn into the arc.
Series 4 starred David Tennant as the Doctor, with Catherine Tate as Donna Noble.
