A portrait of Donna Noble, played by the brilliant Catherine Tate. Originally a companion for just the 2006 Christmas special, "The Runaway Bride", Donna returned as a companion for the whole of the 2008 series. She is my favourite companion, an ordinary woman whose life is touched by the extraordinary, and Catherine played her brilliantly, with humour and pathos and no other character in Who is able to make me laugh and cry the way she does. She came 2nd in the Favourite Companion in the 2009 DWM poll.
