World's End is a 2015 British scientific fiction mystery drama TV show created by Danny Spring and Diane Whitley. The TV show was originally made for and first originally aired on the CBBC channel from 30 March 2015 to 14 May 2015. The show only has one series consisting of 36 episodes which are usually between 12 to 14 minutes long.

The show mainly follows a group of teenagers, who have grown up in very different backgrounds, are sent to live in a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands, which is in-fact a secret military base. As time goes on, the teenagers who are initially sceptical of the excuses they've been given to by the adults working here as to what the place is and as to why they've been brought here, are tired of not being told the whole truth so they set out to find out what's really going on here.

WARNING! There are unmarked Spoilers ahead. Beware.

Tropes used in World's End include:
  • Cliff Hanger: All episodes of the show end with a cliff-hanger, which are thankfully solved in the following episodes, except for the final one, due the show being unable to get another series due to it's eventual cancellation.
  • Name's the Same: The title of the thirty-sixth and final episode of the show shares the same name with the what the TV show's called.
  • Not Quite Human: All the clobots of the show, aren't fully quite human, despite being made with human DNA, as they naturally have stronger strength, better memory and better speed compared to usual normal humans.
  • Parental Favoritism: Out of the two twins, Luke and Noah, Luke is the only one, Duncan cares about as he completely disregards Noah for most of the show, given how we are believed that that Luke and Noah are simply natural twins until twenty-eight episode of the show, this makes Duncan seem like a mean jerk.
  • The Unfavourite: Noah, is completely ignored and misunderstood by his father, Duncan for most of the show as Duncan completely prefers Luke over him.
