Although her time adventuring with the Doctor was brief, Donna Noble proved
to be a crucial presence in the Doctor's life. Direct to the point of obnoxiousness, so single-minded that she verged on being
thick, Donna was not easily cowed or impressed, and as such served as a sobering presence in the wake of the Doctor's tragic
parting from Rose. A no-nonsense realist, Donna came to understand the Doctor's great capacity for doing good while also acknowledging
the terrible things that could result should he lose his touchstone to the everyday. Although ill-prepared for life in the
TARDIS herself, Donna helped ensure that the Doctor would not neglect the importance in his life of his travelling companions.
Catherine Tate played Donna from Doomsday in July 2006 to The Runaway Bride in December 2006.
While walking down the aisle on her wedding day, Donna Noble somehow vanishes, to reappear in the
TARDIS console room. The Doctor is faced with solving the riddle of how this virtually impossible feat was achieved, while
simultaneously trying to return Donna to the church. It soon becomes clear that Donna is the key to revivification of an ancient
evil, the culmination of a plan older than the Earth itself.
