What he finds there isn't a bunch of French Aristocrats, he finds something much more sinister
Episode 5: Rise of the Cybermen: After the TARDIS makes a crash landing on the Earth of another universe, Rose discovers her father is alive & rich, Mickey encounters his alternative self, & the Tenth Doctor learns one of his oldest & deadliest foes is about to be reborn.

Episode 9: The Satan Pit: With the TARDIS seemingly lost, Rose & the remaining humans are trapped on the base with the possessed Ood, while the planet floats helplessly towards a black hole.

And deep within the Torchwood tower, a mysterious sphere containing the greatest enemies of the Doctor is opened...

The Doctor & Rose, reunited with old friends & Cybermen experts Mickey & Jake, race to find a way to bring the war to an end before it brings about the destruction of the whole of space & time. But the Doctor soon faces an even bigger dilemma - could ending the war mean the death of Rose?
This is an amazing series but we are given an unfortunate goodbye to Rose Tyler, how do we say goodbye? Well you will have to see for yourself.
Doctor Who? HEY Doctor Who! - By: Su, 20 Jul 2008 I loved this series apart from one episode... Love & Monsters left me feeling flat as a pancake! I was really looking forward to my forty minutes of David Tennant's quirkyness, & all I got was Peter Kay gobbling people up!!!!! I found it a rather strange episode.
I loved the two episodes setin the Parallel universe where Rose's father & mother were together but unhappy without any child. They were all the more fantastic by Roger Lloyd Pack's amazing acting abilityin that episode. It proved he could play more than just Triggerin Only Fools... & Owenin Vicar of Dibley. Also, for a Potter fan like me, I was THRILLED, that shortly after seeing Goblet of Fire at the Cinema, I saw them together on screen again this time on the opposite sides of the fence: (Roger played Barty Crouch Sr, a Wizard dedicated to putting evil Wizards & Witches, called Death Eatersin the Wizard prison Azkaban, David Tennant played his son, Barty Crouch Jr, one of the evil Wizards he sent down.) So, yeah, for me it was the icing on the proverbial cake.
I also loved the Girlin the Fireplace mainly because of the horse crashing through the mirror before the final showdown, & the greatest Who lines of all time:
Rose: You're not having that horsein the Tardis.
Doctor: Why not I let you keep Mickey!
That episode should have been dedicated to Adam & the Ants it was so Prince Charming!
I actually found Fear Her quite scary, I did almost hide behind the cushion,in factin The Wire episode I DID hide behind the cushion!
Great series, great show, great Doctor & great assistant... just didn't like Peter Kay!
TENNANT IS THE DOCTOR...better than series 1 but not found its feet - By: S. J. Pinder, 01 Jul 2008 
series 1 was very good but this series boasted so much that it forgot to take off...Tennant is by far the greatest doctor of them all but his & Pipers chemistry lacksin between the episodes.
christmas invasion-4/5
new earth-3.5/5
tooth & claw-5/5
School reunion-5/5
Girlin the fireplace-4.8/5
rise of the cyber men-2.5/5-not as epic as id hoped.
age of steel-2/5-lacking that something that makes the cybermen...well...scary.
the idiots lantern-2/5-half decent half unfinished.
the impossible planet-3/5-creepy but nothing for the Ood to do.
Satans Pit-3.5/5-not as amazing as id hoped but it is pretty decent & very scary...watch series 4 Planet of the Ood for a better episode.
Love & Monsters-3/5-a decent episode with loads of humour & Peter Kay makes a fun monster...okay not perfect but it is fun.
Fear her-0.5/5-awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Army of Ghosts-3/5-decent episode...look out for Freema as Martha's cousin Adoela.
Doomsday-4/5-a decent end...watch for the last 15 mins.

Buy this now - By: S. P. Northwood, 22 Jun 2008 If anyone ever asks you why you can't go out until after 8pm on a Saturday evening you need to show them this box set.
Perfect weekend entertainment for kids aged one & up!
Veering for light & breezy to touching & heart-wrentching (sometimes within the same episode) this is the series that got me hooked on Who.
The series finale will leave you breathless.
