What a good episode this was, just the right balance of peril and humour. Plus we got another Rose teaser thrown in with that 'blink and you'll miss it' moment. They do seem to have this PR speculation buzz-generating thing down this series. It just keeps getting better, long may it continue.
As with everyone, I loved the 'are you my mummy?' self-reference, although I believe it was in the script, ctg, not an improv. It was a brilliant throwaway remark at the right time.
I did notice that when Donna slapped The Doctor that it was a real whallop, not a stage slap. I wonder if Mr Tennant discovered a bruise the next day.
It does seem that Donna is growing on a lot of us as the new companion, probably because there is no unrequited love story going on, which allows time for more development. There is also a large element of Catherine Tate not being as annoying as she was at first and the fact that, despite her comedy not being to my liking, she is a good actress, and that's what counts. |
