More a synopsis then a run through on the whole character... on account theres an entire other series in the way

Imagine, for a moment, your a temp, from Chiswick, its your wedding day.. your walking down the aisle towards your best beloved and then...

BANG

your suddenly stood in the Tardis, with a bespectacled, pinstripe suited, slightly miserable looking waif of a Man...

You'd be a shade on the annoyed side wouldn't you?

Yes... So was, Donna Noble... Now in the fullness of time, Donna Noble will go on to become my favourite of all the companions of the new run of Doctor Who.. back in 2006, she was essentially the between companions bouncing board for a heartbroken and Angry the Doctor... it was, yes...
a bit of a romp.. Christmas Specials always are..

And so, having established that no ones really SURE how she got there, and clearly she'd sooner not be, the task of returning her to her wedding, or at least her nearest and dearest commenceth.. of course, the Doctors interest has been piqued, and the appearance of Robot Santas, and Exploding Christmas trees (and where were they in my actual REAL childhood - I might not have grown to hate the festive season so much if it had been exciting you know) just draws him in even more...

And so, it transpires, Donna has been temping at an insurance firm, this firm has links to Torchwood - who I neglected to mention where in no small way responsible for the whole Rose getting stuck in another reality situation in the preceding series...

The fact the wedding reception went ahead despite her vanishing entirely into air, and the appearance of yet more festive adornments trying to kill everyone, leads to the burgeoning, unlikely alliance of the Doctor and Donna, oh and her previously intended...

Now in the meantime, a whacking great star has appeared in the sky, and 'neath the Thames, after thoroughly upsetting Donna, her now ex fiance meets something of an unfortunate fate - moral of the story - never spike anyones coffee.. because eventually, you'll get fucked over by..

a REALLY big BASTARD of a spider..

the ins and outs are of course that spiders are going to EAT the population of earth, teleport to their huge web-star ship and be gone...

Now no-one likes spiders do they?

Donnas gripe is understandable - she was intended to be their lunch, I'd not be very impressed by a spider that wanted to eat me... and the Doctor,well frankly he's had ENOUGH, he's still in a bad mood about Rose, he's stuck with a Mouthy Ginger, who frankly has a bit of an attitude (but is she bovvered, eh trivia fans).. so fuck this for a game of soldiers.. he does what ANY of us would do..

Turns the tap on, and watches in malevolent glee... as they all perish, Muhahahahahahahaha

(actually I favour either a blob of bleach - they burst, or suffocating them in a glass for 3 days, time was of the essence here though)

The spaceship gets blown up as well, the world is saved, and there writhing and screeching is a HUGE bastard of a mutant spider, rater upset about the demise of her children... at which point..

Donna, develops a compassion gland, makes the Doctor snap out of his rage, and they make a run for it... she decides against his invite to travel with him... and with the ring that Will STOP her randomly appearing in the Tardis in place... off she trots, sensibly, unlike EVERY other bloody companion who gets to go IN the Tardis, back to her Normal life... possibly a bit miffed at not getting married, but much more versed in the manner of mass arachnid apocalypse... Taraa Donna....
