What Season 2 of Doctor Who

The Tenth Doctor continues traveling aboard the TARDIS with Rose Tyler, and a closer bond grows between them. Along the way, Mickey Smith, Rose's boyfriend, and Jackie Tyler, her mother, briefly join the story. The journeys take the pair to New Earth, to the time of Queen Victoria, to London in 1953, and to a planet near a black hole. Among the enemies are the Cybermen, the Empire of the Wolf and an entity that claims to be Satan. The season also repeats references to the Torchwood Institute, an organization that gains more weight in the plot.
