In the events of the 2006 series Christmas episode "The Runaway Bride", Donna Noble is a temporary secretary at H. C. Clements in London, a security firm which, unknown to her, provided a front for the Torchwood Institute up until its collapse following the events of "Doomsday", and was then taken over by an alien intelligence.

On Christmas Eve, the day of her wedding, she was accidentally pulled into the TARDIS as a result of being dosed with Huon particles by her duplicitous fiancé, Lance Bennett, who was following the orders of the Empress of the Racnoss.

The Doctor is the central character in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who, and also features in This is a list of monsters and aliens from the long-running BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. Having seen him commit genocide on the Racnoss, as a parting shot she urged him to find a new companion to act as his moral compass.

Reappearing in April 2008's series four premiere, "Partners in Crime", Donna had become dissatisfied with regular life and more interested in the bigger picture. The fourth series of British science fiction series Doctor Who began on 25 December 2007 with the Christmas special " " Partners in Crime " is the first episode of the fourth series of British Science fiction television series Doctor Who. She regretted declining the Doctor's offer and had been investigating unusual phenomena in the hopes of finding the Doctor for some time. When investigating Miss Foster and Adipose Industries, the Londoner and the Time Lord were finally re-united. She expressed her regret of not joining him to the Doctor and after stopping Foster's plans to convert the whole of London into Adipose children she joined him in the TARDIS as a regular companion. She made it explicit, however, that she has no romantic attachment to him as Martha Jones (and Rose Tyler) did. Dr Martha Jones is a fictional character played by Freema Agyeman in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who Rose Marion Tyler is a fictional character played by Billie Piper in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who [3]

In "The Fires of Pompeii", Donna continually argued with the Doctor over the moral issue of whether or not he should save the inhabitants of Pompeii from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius the next day. " The Fires of Pompeii " is the second episode of the fourth series of the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who Pompeii is a ruined and partially buried Roman town-city near modern Naples and Caserta in the Italian region of Campania, in Mount Vesuvius (in Italian Monte Vesuvio and in Latin Mons Vesuvius) is an active Stratovolcano east of Naples Ultimately, they were forced to cause the eruption to happen, weighing the destruction of the city against the fate of the whole world. When they escaped in the TARDIS and left behind a Pompeiian family they had befriended beforehand, Donna eventually managed to persuade the Doctor to save the family. The Doctor later admitted to Donna that she was right about his needing someone, after which he welcomed her aboard. [4]

Donna is the Doctor's full time companion for all 13 episodes of Series 4.

Personality

Donna's strident reaction to her sudden appearance in the TARDIS includes yelling at the Doctor and leaping to the conclusion that she has been kidnapped. The Doctor appears to find her loud-mouthed manner off-putting at first, saying "I don't want you here, anyway". He sarcastically wishes Lance "good luck" with the marriage, and later reminds Lance in person of his pending promise to "honour and obey". Even at the end of the episode, when the Doctor and Donna are on better terms, he remarks, "Blimey, you can shout. " Series producer Russell T Davies at one time dismissed Donna's potential as an ongoing companion due to her abrasive personality, saying that "she'd get on your nerves". Russell T Davies, OBE (born Stephen Russell Davies, 27 April, 1963) is a critically acclaimed British Television producer [9]

The Doctor innocently notes that Donna is neither special nor clever. Upon learning that she is unaware of both the Sycorax ship flying over London and the Battle of Canary Wharf, due to hangovers and scuba-diving holidays respectively, he takes her to task for missing "the bigger picture". " The Christmas Invasion " is a 60-minute special episode of the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who. " Doomsday " is the thirteenth and final episode in the second series of the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who A hangover ( veisalgia) describes the sum of unpleasant physiological effects following heavy consumption of drugs particularly Alcoholic beverages The most commonly Scuba diving is swimming underwater, or taking part in another activity while using a Scuba set. Fixated on her interrupted wedding, Donna initially shows little interest in understanding the strange things she encounters, such as the TARDIS and robot Santas, viewing them instead as obstacles between her and her goal. Upon being informed that "this is serious" by her husband to be and asked what they are going to do, she responds by recommending a new date for their wedding. This is a list of henchmen, Fictional characters serving villains and/or monsters and aliens in the long-running British science Once his duplicity toward Donna is revealed, Lance criticises her for her stupidity and her preoccupation with "trivia" (celebrity gossip and so on). A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention

Nevertheless, as she begins to trust the Doctor more, she follows him as he investigates her employers, H. C. Clements, and stands up to the Empress of the Racnoss. Gaining perspective on the human condition after witnessing the formation of the Earth, she decides to make something of her life, walking "in the dust" of the Earth and no longer taking "the bigger picture" for granted. When the Doctor tells her to "be magnificent", she says that she intends to do just that.

Despite her faults, and her failure to discover Lance's villainy earlier, Donna shows a surprising amount of insight in her interactions with the Doctor. Shocked and scared by his merciless defeat of the Racnoss, she initially turns down the Doctor's offer of full time companionship, but urges him to find someone else to travel with, "because sometimes I think you need someone to stop you".

Upon her second meeting with the Doctor, Donna claims that he has "opened her eyes" about the wonders of the universe. She has also shown considerable investigative skills, in particular in bureaucratic areas, due to her experience as a temp. Such skills were demonstrated when she investigated Adipose Industries in tandem with The Doctor (despite neither being aware of the other's progress) in "Partners In Crime", and when she pointed out that something was amiss with the workers in the ATMOS factory since the records showed no sick days taken, in "The Sontaran Stratagem". " The Sontaran Stratagem " is the fourth episode of the fourth series of British Science fiction television series Doctor Who In "The Doctor's Daughter" these skills are further developed as Donna deduces the development of Messaline's civilisation from the dates printed on its doors. " The Doctor's Daughter " is the sixth episode of the fourth series of British Science fiction television series Doctor Who

Donna also tells Martha Jones in this episode that she wishes (like Rose Tyler before her) to travel with the Doctor forever, becoming the second companion to express this desire. Rose Marion Tyler is a fictional character played by Billie Piper in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who Indeed, she admits that she couldn't go back to living a normal life after everything she has seen.

Production and publicity

Catherine Tate, the actress who portrays Donna, was the first guest star to be named in the show's opening credits, and her character was considered by the production team to have companion status long before the announcement of the character's return. Catherine Tate (born Catherine Ford 12 May 1968) is an English comedienne and Actress. History of the Doctor Who companion When Doctor Who was created the dramatic structure of the programme's cast was rather different from the hero-and-sidekick [9] Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman and John Barrowman (during his tenure with Tennant only) have all been credited in this manner for their continuing roles as companions. Billie Paul Piper (born Lianne Paul Piper on 22 September 1982 is an English actress and pop Singer. Freema Agyeman (born Frema Agyeman on 20 March, 1979) is an English actress of Ghanaian and Iranian descent John Scot Barrowman (b 11 March 1967 is a Scottish Actor, musical performer, Dancer, Singer and Television presenter Kylie Minogue was later credited this way in the following Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned". Kylie Ann Minogue, OBE, born 28 May 1968 is an Australian pop Singer - Songwriter and occasional Actress. " Voyage of the Damned " is an episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

As indicated by David Tennant in his video diary of the making of the second series (included in the DVD box set), the casting of Tate was kept secret, with her scene in Doomsday filmed with minimal crew. David Tennant (born David John McDonald; 18 April 1971 is a Scottish Actor. According to Tennant in his video diary for the third series (and included in that series' DVD set), this was one of the few occasions where the element of surprise was successfully maintained without it being revealed in advance by the media.
