Part 1
It's the Tenth Doctor's final journey - but his psychotic nemesis the Master has been reborn, on Christmas Eve.

Part 2
The Doctor faces the end of his life as the Master's plans hurtle out of control. With the sound of drums growing louder, and an ancient trap closing around the Earth, the Doctor and Wilf must fight alone. But sacrifices must be made, and the deadly prophecy warns: "He will knock four times."

Doctor Who - The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter
For this revised and updated edition of The Writer’s Tale, Head Writer and Executive Producer Russell T Davies and journalist Benjamin Cook continue their in-depth discussion of the creative life of Doctor Who to cover the last of Russell’s specials, as well as the increasingly successful Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures spin-offs.

Candid and witty insights continue throughout a second year’s worth of correspondence, covering David Tennant’s final episodes as the Doctor, Russell’s own departure from the show, and the legacy that both leave behind as a new era of Doctor Who begins.

With over 300 pages of new material, and taking in events from the entire five years since the show’s return in 2005, The Writer’s Tale: The Final Chapter is the most comprehensive – and personal – account of Doctor Who ever published.
