That was fantastic! I have a huge love for parallel/alternate universe stories and this was a great one.

At first I saw Donna as 'just another Catherine Tate character' but she's really come into her own. She was amazing in this episode

And Billy Piper was amazingly not annoying.

But even more exciting is the preview for next week. OMG! Massive crossover ahoy! YAY!!!

THANK YOU for being the first person I've seen that hasn't been saying "OMG ROSE WAS AS EPIC AS EVER SHE IS GREATER THAN EVERYONE"

All that said, I was very worried about how they were gonna bring her back without breaking all of their own rules, but I gotta hand it to RTD, he did it well.

OMG CAN HAS NEXT WEEK NOW!

I have never been a massive Rose fan but she was definitely ok in this episode. I think she does a lot better when The Doctor isn't around for her to mope over.

OMG NEXT WEEK NOW PLS!

I've never disliked Rose, I just never understood why people went on about her so much. It really annoyed me when so many people completely dismissed Mertha as crap before she'd even started just because She Wasn't Rose.
Martha >> Rose

But yeah, I can definitely agree with you on her being better without the Doctor. Whereas Donna is excellent whether he's there or not.

Yes, Donna definitely wins when it comes to the new batch of assistants

...which is really odd, coz I can't stand 2 seconds of Catherine Tate in anything else (apart from the comic relief thing with David, but that was mostly because he was absolute WIN)

Yeah, I find it strange too. I find The Catherine Tate show imensely irritating

Maybe she just becomes less annoying when she is near the awesome-ness of David Tennant (which is so epic that he can be standing off set and she can still feel its effect). Did you see when they were both on Jonathan Ross? Hilarious.

Hehe! No, I missed that. I'm sure DT has an aura of awesome though *g*

It would certainly explain why Captain Jack is somehow more awesome on Doctor Who than he is in Torchwood

I've still got it if you want me to send it to you. It's so random and fun.

Oooh, that would be a good explanation. So next week we'll get Jack being awesome with added Ianto. I'm gonna be a happy fangirl XD

WHAT? She was abysmally bad! I quit watching halfway through as I couldn't take her presence anymore.

Really? I thought she was ok. Don't get me wrong I didn't think she was amazing but I've definitely seen worse

She spoke everything like she had a mouthful of toffees.

I won't bother with next week anyway.

But...but...but...Torchwood! And Sarah-Jane! And Martha!

It's going to be awesome!

Yeah, Torchwood. Another thing to put me off.

Torchwood is ace!

I found Rose a
bit
annoying but bearable. I've never liked Catherine Tate in anything else, but she really was pretty good this time. And next week should be magical. (But why no Captain John too? Everyone else is in there...)

Hehe! I think my screen would explode if they added Captain John to the mix of awesome

I'd be willing to take that risk. Wouldn't you?

Actually yes. LOL!

Totally agree - this episode rocked! Although I did ask my boyfriend if Rose has always talked like she just had her wisdom teeth pulled. That was the only part that really annoyed me.
Loved the parallel/alternate universe stuff - fantastic!

I also really liked Catherine Tate in this episode - and you know that's high praise coming from me! *smirk* I finally started seeing Donna the character rather than Catherine Tate the annoying "I think I'm so funny but I'm really not" git of an actress.

Must fast forward to next Saturday! Come on week - hurry up!

Yeah, this show has given me a new-found respect for Catherine Tate
