Amazingly, ten years have passed since the launch of series two of Doctor Who – David Tennant's first full term in charge of the Tardis with Billie Piper at his side as Rose Tyler. Episode one, New Earth, first aired on BBC1 on Saturday 15 April 2006.

To celebrate, we've delved deep into the Radio Times Archive to dig out some rare and fabulous images, many of which have never been published before.

Photographers: Matt Holyoak, Dan Goldsmith and Ben Gold. All images: copyright Radio Times Archive
