Doctor Who:
Partners In
Crime
By Russell T.
Davies
“Planet of
the Hats, I'm ready. I don't need injections, do I? You know, like when you go
to Cambodia. Is there any of that? Because my friend Veena went to Bahrain, and
she. You're not saying much.”
Here we go
with the beginning of the Fourth Series of the New Doctor Who and the third and
final one for David Tennant. The stories
that have been starting off the seasons of New Who have mostly been uneventful
and light and non-taxing on your brain.
In a way is a good thing for Doctor Who to get things going by starting
off light and then as time goes by hit you with some heavy stories.
Partners in
Crime carry on with this tradition but ends the story with a tease of what we
might expect towards the end of the series.
Well we all know that surprise is
as Rose makes her return in the Series 4 finale. As with last season this season’s first episode
introduces us to a new/old companion.
Catherine Tate reprises her character Donna Noble from The Runaway Bride
for season four and David Tennant’s final story. At first I had my reservations about her
becoming a full time companion as I am not the biggest fan of her comedy. Well I was sure wrong as Catherine Tate’s
Donna is one of the best companions ever and they toned her down a bit from
Runaway Bride and made her less over the top.
Donna becomes the perfect complement to David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor and
I was so wrong about her casting.
