 **"Doctor Who: The Stolen Earth" - Review** 
  
 In *"The Stolen Earth,"* Earth is ripped from 
 its orbit and relocated alongside 26 other 
 planets. The Doctor (David Tennant), with 
 his companions and allies, faces an old foe: 
 the Daleks, led by Davros. 
  
 **Plot Summary:** 
  
 The Doctor and Donna arrive on Earth only to 
 find it missing. They soon discover that Earth 
 has been moved, alongside other planets, as 
 part of a Dalek plan. The Daleks, led by 
 Davros, intend to use these planets to 
 create a "Reality Bomb," capable of 
 destroying all matter across the universe. 
 Meanwhile, Martha, Jack, Rose, Sarah Jane, 
 and Torchwood unite to find a way to bring 
 Earth back. Rose is also on Earth, attempting 
 to reunite with the Doctor. 
  
 Tension builds as the Doctor races to stop
