Looking Back: Partners In Crime
05:53
She came, she saw, she conquered. There have been a lot of doom-mongers, Doctor Who fans who think they know what's best for the show, who predicted Catherine Tate's character would ruin the show.
Not only were they wrong but it looks like Donna Noble could be better that I thought she was going to be.
Much better. She's essentially the same character we seen in The Runaway Bride but a little more insightful and wistful. Donna hasn't lost the ability to cut the Doctor down to size with her comments as witnessed by her dismissive attitude to the news that Martha fancied The Doctor. "Charity Martha!" She says in that usual Donna way. Catherine Tate captured Donna's longing to find something better in life for herself and special comment needs to go to Bernard Cribbins who is brilliant as Grandad Wilf: more scenes between them please!
Partners In Crime proved the naysayers wrong and it was a perfect opening episode for a series that promises to be the best so far.
