“I loved Donna so much, and wanted to write more for her, but I never dreamt that Catherine Tate would be able to commit for an entire series of 13 episodes. Bringing in someone who's met the Doctor before is a chance to do some brilliant comedy.”

Russell explains: "We'd had a love story, we'd had an unrequited love story - let's have a non-love story. The scene at the end when Donna meets Rose Tyler was such a secret. We all waited on the night with bated breath. Me in Manchester; David and Catherine in London, round at Julie's, with lasagne; Phil in Miami; all of us thinking, what if they show the wrong one?! I swear, that's what we were all thinking all day. And the very final scene with Donna on board the Tardis, waving to Wilf. It's just the joy - the joy of someone being able to travel off in time and space... and to see that via their grandfather. One of my favourite things I've ever done."
