The first time Russell T Davies helmed the Doctor Who series, his run was a triumph of stories and characters that reinvigorated a franchise previously thought “dead.” Whereas his initial outing as showrunner was all about the “new,” this time he’s brought back a little of the “old,” specifically David Tennant’s version of the Doctor. More importantly, however, he restored one of the Doctor’s greatest companions, Donna Noble, from the regrettable status quo he left her in. This is good news for fans of that Doctor Who era and promises a bright future for Donna and her daughter Rose Noble.Now that it’s been undone, it’s fair to say Davies made a mistake in leaving Donna Noble as he did. Thankfully, with Davies back and looking for spinoffs, Donna along with her daughter Rose could start having regular appearances again. Perhaps, they could even anchor their own series, especially given how close the family is to UNIT. While this may nor may not come to pass, it’s clear that Davies recognized he’d done a disservice to one of Doctor Who’s best characters. Perhaps the reason he returned with Tennant and Tate as the top-of-the-call-sheet actors is because Donna missing a huge piece of herself didn’t sit well with him. It was great for drama in the moment, but Doctor Who is all about legacy. Though Russell T Davies initially robbed her of it, the new status quo means Donna Noble has a future.Both Donna’s mother, Sylvia, and her grandfather, Wilf, remember him. He leaves them with a warning that should she ever remember him, she will die. She marries Shaun Temple and, with a quid he borrowed in the past from Donna’s late father, buys a lottery ticket for a £166 million jackpot. This is meant to leave her as happy as she can be, but, as Doctor Who: The Star Beast makes clear, she spent the past decade and a half feeling like she lost something precious. Unbeknownst to the Doctor, when Rose was born, Donna passed on some of that Time Lord knowledge to her.
