• Donna Noble

    My Doctor Who binge continues. I’m finishing up Martha Jones year, which inevitably leads to Donna Noble.

    When they were originally aired, I suffered Runaway Bride, which I skipped
    this time and when she became full-time, I turned off the globs of fat
    attack halfway through and skipped all the rest of her season.

    Checking the IMDb cast listings to see when it was be safe again, I see something I didn’t realize before, that about half of the episodes with her also include one or two of the other companions. They must’ve realized they had somebody that couldn’t act and needed back up.

    So now I have to decide if I’m going to continue to pick and choose or be a completist and just go ahead and suffer the Donna Noble episodes.

    Decisions, decisions.

    She's a good actress but a better comedian. You should look up some of
    her performances even her classic Doctor Who (not) short.
    Ah yes, here it is. Even if you don't like Tate's performance you
    should respect her ability to deliver those lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxB1gB6K-2A

    You will watch all Donna Noble episodes and enjoy them.
    That is except for the return RTD and his destruction of the show.
    You do not want to see what they did with Donna Noble and her daughter
    even with the return of David Tennant.

    Decisions, decisions.

    I’ve seen her as Nat on the Graham Norton show. She’s even worse than I had thought.

    I am sorry that you suffered that exposure. No one should have to see
    that.

    She's horrific as a so-called comedian / comedienne. Just another of
    the "loud, obnoxious, and crude" school of "comedy". :-(
