Rose!!!!!!!!!! That's all I've got right now :lol:. I knew she was coming back but wasn't expecting to see her until late in the season :yahoo:

:lmao: :thumbsup: love the first 20 minutes, the doctor and donna failing to meet while being on the same investigation, the miming conversation

:blink: :thumbsup: @ Rose (how? why? and the disappearing like a ghost/found a way to move between world :unsure: )

everyone can have sonic pen now? :ermm:

/more about donna/the doctor soon

Wow ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :o :o And again :thumbsup:

Oooh, I wasn`t expecting Rose at all, yay ! :thumbsup:

I actually liked Donna ; I think they`ve toned down the shoutyness and given her some quite poignant scenes so she comes across as far more likeable. :)

Favourite scene at the mo was the Donna/Doctor mime sequence. :lol:

Were those monsters Moomins ? :blink: ;)

Really enjoyed the episode. :thumbsup:

I thought that Sarah Lancashire did a very good guest spot as well.

The only thing that I'd be slightly critical of was the 'moomins'. WTF?! :lol:

Yes, but only one person can have a sonic screwdriver ;)

I enjoyed it, quite funny, Donna wasn't too annoying, quite amusing to see Bernard Cribbins - you'd think he would have recognised the TARDIS :lol:

Russell T Davies seems to have a monopoly on creating annoying mothers, though <_<

I had already had a sneaky at the clip on the BBC site and was aware of the fat creatures, too cute for my liking, I guess though Sarah Lancashire's character was the 'baddie' of the episode.

I am yet to warm to Donna, although some scenes were quite funny and I do think her character is an ideal one to be with the Doctor after having Rose and Martha before her.

The best part for me though was seeing Rose at the end, that was a surprise, we all know she is going to be in the season but it didn't occur to me she would be in the first episode. And seeing her fade away, well that poses more questions, is she able to appear in the Doctors presence at will?

I really enjoyed it as well. :)

They seem to have done a good job developing Donna's character and I thought CT did a good job. Sarah Lancashire was pretty good as well and I really liked the little monsters - I thought they were cute. :)

Loved the mime scene :lol: and as has been said totally surprised to see Rose pop up like that. :o :thumbsup:

loved the nanny "are we interrupting you, maybe?" comment after the all miming scene

the adipose were kind of cute

:thumbsup: there is a monters files here ( with Captain Jack revealing facts, figures and top secret info about the Adipose )

the doctor throw the sonic pen in a bin, i don't think he turn it off before that, maybe not a good idea :unsure:

Donna mentionned some cardiff incidents (while she was looking for the doctor), just wonder which one(s) :lol:

Fantastic episode :thumbsup:

Loved the miming scene - a perfect reunion :lmao:

Rose :o - wasn't expecting to see her that soon. Wonder how that works.

Is anyone else glad that Donna doesn't fancy the Doctor? I mean i'm usually all for ships, but every companion falling for him would start to bug me, i think it will work really well with the Doctor and Donna being "mates".

I quite enjoyed it :)

Like everyone else I wasn't expecting to see Rose and was really shocked :o

I was also pleasantly surprised by Catherine Tate as Donna. I didn't see the Christmas Special with her and I've never been her biggest fan but I thought she was really good. And I like the character of Donna and I think Donna and The Doctor spark off each other really well. I also like the fact that she's older than Rose and Martha and doesn't have a crush on The Doctor.

I thought the Adipose were really cute, but gross at the same time :ermm:

Firstly, I should probably address the whole issue of Donna. I am not a Catherine Tate fan in her comedy persona, I just do not find her sketch show funny at all, so I do have some reservations about them bringing Donna back. She annoyed me in The Runaway Bride and I did go "oh hell no" when The Doctor invited her along, but she was alright here. There were some moments where I thought it was maybe trying a bit too hard to be funny (that mime scene went on a bit too long and the "you ain't mating with me" bit wasn't as funny as I think they meant it to be) but overall it was fine. I'll need to wait and see how it plays out through the season, it's good that they've aknowledged that the last two companions have had feelings for him and that they've set the boundaries in this relationship already, it looks like she'll be questioning him a lot more than the others have (I liked that reference to his murder of the spider-babies in The Runaway Bride from Donna).

Anyway, CT's first proper outing as a companion has been very much overshadowed by that little glimpse of Rose. My excitement level for this season skyrocketed when I saw her, it's going to be brilliant to have her back. I can't wait to see the reunion of Rose and the Doctor.



* Oooh a slightly different theme, think I preferred the old one though.

* Where have I seen that corridor in the basement before? And was that building the same one that Jack was thrown from in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

* Those Adipose were adorable, there must be plans to bring out cuddly Adipose toys for Christmas surely? Sarah Lancashire was brilliant as evil!Mary Poppins.

* Did anyone else think "it goes ding when there's stuff" as the Doctor was tracking the Adipose?



Next week -








"volcano day", I would so love to see Captain Jack wandering around somewhere in the background (I know it won't happen but it would be fantastic) :lol:.

I am glad you mentioned the theme, when I heard it I did think it was different.

Erm, no. :blink:

Is there some allusion I`m missing out on ? :unsure:

Oooh, I thought the theme had been tarted up, but I wasn`t sure. :)

In Blink the Doctor built something which went "ding when there's stuff" :lol:

Suddenly that rings a bell. :)

Or should I say ding. :ph43r:

I think that was the scene when Martha, the Doctor and the detective are talking, after the detective`s just been sent back in time outside the underground car park ? :unsure:

Oh yeah the theme. Hmm not sure about it I really liked it as it was. :ponder:

I really liked the episode. Donna was actually not half as annoying as she was in the christmas special and was even rather amusing at times.

The adipose were well cute. :wub: ...even though the thought of what they actually are made of is a bit :x. :lol:

:o Rose! :thumbsup:

Donna might have the doctor go mad, she was a bit too happy to go with him (just for the amount of bags :lol: maybe he should have mentionned he had a huge wardrobe :rolleyes: )

Yeah that's it :lol:

Whee, my nerd gene is still working. :lol:

Apparently they edited Rose's appearance out of the press screening they had which is why it was such a surprise. :)

You just can`t trust journalists with the big, important stories. :lol:
