The Runaway Bride (S02E14)

Doctor Who meets a Julia Roberts film. Or how Catherine Tate's performance and energy, and the working chemistry between her and Tennant make you forget that, especially in the second half, this is an overly bland and schematic episode. (20/12/2013)

The heated emotions from the finale of last season haven't even had time to calm down, and already a talkative and perpetually unsatisfied redhead is showing up for a visit. It took me quite a while to get used to Donna's chatterbox nature for quite a while, but thankfully, the situations in which the Doctor has to react to a completely different type of companion turned out to be great. A surprising, confident, and most importantly, satisfying start to the second half of the Russell T. Davies era. (24/12/2013)
