Simultaneously a breathtaking ending and a beautiful beginning, “The Giggle,” is Davies at his best.
This episode is both terrifying and hilarious.
Luckily for Donna and Mel though, their time in the TARDIS naturally protects them.

“Davies immediately chases that emotional climax with one of the most outrageous scenes in the franchise.
But, in true villain fashion, he refuses.
The funny thing is, he doesn’t actually die at all.
The show follows the adventures of a Time Lord, “The Doctor,” who is able to regenerate, and the Doctor’s human friends. The Doctor and his companions journey through time and space in the TARDIS – a time-traveling ship shaped like a police box – saving the universe with a combination of wit, bravery, and kindness.
For the very first time inDoctor Who,the Doctor experiences bi-regeneration.
The Fifteenth Doctor is incredibly charming right from the jump, grinning and relishing his new body.
This Doctor finally gets to rest as the next boldly goes on saving the rest of the universe.
