Donna and the Doctor being BFF's for 8 minutes

Donna and the doctor being absolute bros for 8 minutes straight.
These two are my favourites and I will protect their friendship till the end of time.
Some of my favourite bits are missing because the BBC hates happiness, so just pretend Harvey Wallbanger and Great Big Outer Space Dunce are in there.

Between all of 10th's companions, Donna was the only one to not be romantic attracted to him but, ironically, still is the one who had more chemistry. David Tennant and Catherine Tate together in action should happen more times.

I LOVE Donna as the Doctor's companion and LOVE their chemistry, but I have to disagree and say that Rose and the Doctor's chemistry was stronger. The camaraderie between between Donna and the Doctor though, was beyond all.

[@alicepavitt2652]

I think the reason they got along so well was because they were such equals. Donna never saw the doctor as a huge superior time lord so she wasn’t afraid to contradict him like others. They understood each other in a different way to rose, Martha, Amy, Clara and everyone else

[@blackveilbridesbride]

Rose did tell the Doctor when he was acting like a jerk. More so with the 9th Doctor than with 10. But 10 got intense after Rose got stuck in the other dimension and he needed someone to stop him from going too far.

Their relationship might have been better but I still like Amy better as a companion, and as a person

[@TheDoctorwho747]

She really was, after having two companions who pined over him it was great to have one to be his, as he puts it best friend, though I always saw them as siblings. Donna would always speak up and always called the Doctor out when she disagreed with something he did, or would tell him to "stop going all space man " lol To me Donna will always be the best companion of Who and I'm still upset with how her time ended being forced to forget. Even her grandfather Wilf was a great companion, it was so heartbreaking when the Doctor told him Donna would have to forget all the adventures she had been on.

[@georgiad4939]

TheDoctorwho747 yea that’s true, loved Donna and Wilfred. I may be slightest biased to rose tho. She introduced me to doctor who and she’s my favorite, also I’d say the romantic feelings between rose and 10 were much more genuine than with 10 and Maratha.

i know i wish it could go back to being like this again, to many of his companions are romantic interests or are so in awe of him they put him on a pedestal and rarely challenge him or are otherwise too engaged with their own partner, family or life to truly be there for him, they assume he can always fix everything and often make life harder for him but Donna was his best mate and equal, she told him off, told him when he was wrong, really cared about him and could read him like a book, she knew when he was lying and if something was wrong and he needed a hug and like most people she got fed up of the constant adventure sometimes and whilst he was jumping about like a kid wanting to show his mom something cool she just wanted to sunbathe and when he came back from that adventure all sad she was his comfort. she kept him well grounded making him save people at Pompeii but also taking joint control of the button to set Vesuvius off and taking equal responsibility for their actions rather than leaving all the hard stuff up to him. i really want to see the doctor get a companion that is like his best friend or sibling again (well its her now but you know what i mean) his top companions for me (of the new series) have got to be Donna, Bill and Amy and Rory and i did like River song especially the singing towers episode and also the 2 episodes with Craig (James cordon)

I love her. Truly.

[@forcryinoutloud]

Ten and Donna were by far the best duo on Who. It's a shame they shoved Freema into so many of Donna's episodes instead of letting Catherine shine with David on her own and even more heartbreaking that they gave Donna the ending that they did. She should have been with him at the very end and she never should have had her memories of him erased and been returned to mediocrity. It was such a shitty end for such an amazing character.

She and the Doctor didn't need ANYONE else; they were perfect together, always, and in every way. As for Donna's ending, it was one of the most heartbreaking things I had EVER seen on TV or in film. Still makes me all teary every time I see it. If Ten and Donna had been given one more season together, I truly believe their relationship would have developed from best friends to something MUCH more.

[@nicandknacksandseans]

it was very clever of them to give her so few "serious" scenes up until the end. her banter with the doctor became so sort of normalized and expected, that tearing her away from him hurt far more than if they had given her a bunch of romantic scenes with him.

I really wish they continued on with the Pompeii episode with the twelve doctor having to cross his time line and telling the tenth doctor and Donna looked like siblings

[@imadoor2205]

That would have been kinda cool but that would be weird since that guy had a family

[@GameBreaker1055]

It would be weird considering that he took the face of this exact man on purpose to remind himself that it is his duty to save people.

[@doggy4070]

I remember thinking I would absolutely hate her after that first episode she’s in. But she literally is my favorite companion in the whole thing. She is such a savage and a great duo with the Doctor.

[@johnganner6102]

I will ALWAYS love the Doctor/Donna! With Rose and Martha, they were always swooning over him. Whereas Donna was his best mate and someone he needed to stay grounded and compassionate just as much as she needed him to help her see just how amazing she could be! Their ending broke my heart especially after Wilf breaks down!

[@MichaelTheRead]

3:20 It was at that moment that it clicked. There they were; Lance, Donna, Doctor; riding Segways down a green-lit tunnel. It really does not get any more bonkers than that.

[@FairyTalesAgain_]

And Donna in her wedding dress!

[@lilyweatherwaxHRH]

I like to think they kept that version of the scene because Catherine’s natural sense of humor made her lose it (woman in wedding dress riding Segway? Come on! Who wouldn’t laugh at that!) And during edit, everyone fell in love with her completely free whoops of laughter (plus how it infected David :), they decided it was just the perfect version/take, regardless of what was actually in the script.

[@jaceyking5015]

I love most of the Doctor's companions in one way or another, but Donna will always be my favorite. She's like the Doctor's big sister, a great buddy, and I absolutely adore it.

THEY'RE BACK!!

[@jessica23claire]

my favourite exchange is the "alright" being code for "really not alright" one, because it really shows that they're on equal footing with their friendship and understand each other

[@michelaonofrietti9096]

Anyone here after THE announcement?!?!

[@taisgrim]

Their friendship remains to this day as the best one in all of New Who

[@ZidaneWarner]

They’re coming baaaack

[@raybaeheyok]

Donna is the best companion. Ever. Don’t fight me.

[@SquiggyGirlForever]

ray ray I agree 100%. Their friendship and “luv” for each other was perfect. Donna’s kiss to him to “shock” him was awesome. He cared deeply about her and it broke his heart to have to erase her memories. My fave pairing ❤️

[@TheCrippledEgg]

We all knew Tennant was appearing in the 60th, but now we know his best companion is joining him.

[@jdjdjfdjfjfj2588]

This is how you do a real doctor and companion relationship, as friends and not romantic crap. That is one thing that has spoiled nuwho a lot. The show is not about soppy romantic crap, the original series managed to go through it not needing it.

[@superrooster18]

yea friendship is superior

[@izzyliberty8720]

One of the best fictional QPRs out there, I swear to god. Donna will always be my favourite.

It's the future.

[@spacecat3198]

Wireless? Maybe the signal comes from the bottom or something. Maybe it looks like handsets for some kind of future human nostalgia. I mean come on, most of the future people tend to be human (or look human) and most sound British.

[@heatherlingard9444]

The thing i liked about donna was that she wasn't in love with the doctor she just wanted to be his friend and her face when the doctor and rose finally reunited she looked so happy and proud that hes getting to see rose again

[@maralonent6257]

I think both she and Martha were genuinely happy for 10 when Rose came back, they knew how desperately he’d missed her.

[@ozthebeeman]

the silent scene at the start is one of the best funniest moments in a doctor who history not one day goes by, and I don't think about this scene

[@zoewood555]

I love this duo!! I met Catherine Tate at a Convention and just started sobbing. She's brilliant 💜

[@notmarypoppins]

Were you at Wales Con by any chance? XD I met her in December and she was one of the loveliest people, hands down. She panicked a bit because she thought she'd misgendered me for a minute, but she had a good laugh with us once I got it straight :P

[@alxh3727]

Love how you can hear her "Doc-tahhhrrrr" in that first clip even without a sound

[@samthelion3925]

I love their relationship for the simple fact that it's amazing but also because it always reminds me of how there's another doctor out there that acts like Donna and I think that idea is so sweet.

[@lilyweatherwaxHRH]

Interesting take. Unfortunately, his existence is ruined for me by the idea that Rose is expected to see him as interchangeable with the man she loves. Much as I’m not a fan of Rose’s obsession with him (and genuinely don’t believe/can’t stand the idea that he could possibly be genuinely in love with her), I hate that part of the problem with her character is they TREAT her like a child. If that’s genuinely Billie Piper’s personality, why cast someone so childish in the role? Don’t get it. Very disappointing. Can’t stand the childishness - the little tantrums, whining, foot-stomping. “The worst day of my life” - come ON! I don’t know if they actually wrote her that way, or if that’s what Billie’s actually like. She may simply be too young (meaning, inexperienced) to stand up to him properly. I always imagine Catherine Tate keeping the writers straight, telling them “I would never say that!” when they get something wrong about what her character would say or do.

[@johntabler349]

She was so necessary to the show and she nailed the whole function of the companions "sometimes you need someone to stop you "

[@Daniel-qw7mm]

They work so well because there’s never any weird sexual tension or ulterior motives. No mystery about their identities to solve. Just homies hanging out.
