Woman Wept was a planet visited by the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler. It was stolen by the New Dalek Empire along with 26 other planets in the Planetary Relocation Incident.

Landscape[]

Woman Wept had a continental land mass shaped like a lamenting woman. The entire ocean, including waves hundreds of feet high, froze in an instant because of an event involving its sun. (TV: Boom Town [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) This was later revealed to be due to the planet being moved from one place to another. (TV: Journey's End [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)

History[]

The Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler visited Woman Wept together, a visit which Rose later recounted to Mickey Smith. (TV: Boom Town [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).)
