-The Doctor.

-Hello!

0:00:210:00:22

He can certainly look after himself,

0:00:250:00:28

but he loves nothing better than sharing his adventures

0:00:280:00:31

with like-minded companions.

0:00:310:00:32

Run!

0:00:320:00:34

From New New Earth to Old Pompeii,

0:00:340:00:38

this dynamic duo make the universe a safer place.

0:00:380:00:40

Hi!

0:00:400:00:42

Coming up on Doctor Who's Greatest Moments,

0:00:420:00:44

we buddy up with his best friends to find out that even the Doctor needs somebody.

0:00:440:00:49

# I've been roaming around always looking down at all I see

0:00:490:00:55

# Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

0:00:570:01:02

# You know that I could use somebody... #

0:01:040:01:07

-I'm so glad I met you.

-Thank you!

0:01:090:01:12

-So hold on tight.

-I am!

0:01:150:01:18

As we bring you the very best companion action.

0:01:180:01:20

They are our way in, they are the character that we identify with.

0:01:200:01:25

I think it's important for the Doctor to have somebody there.

0:01:250:01:28

To have somebody that you can share the magic with.

0:01:280:01:32

But what exactly does it take to be a hit with the Doctor?

0:01:330:01:37

Back of the net!

0:01:380:01:39

It's how the show has always worked

0:01:400:01:42

and there's been usually a human TARDIS traveller.

0:01:420:01:50

We identify with them that they are our way in. Skasis Paradigm.

0:01:500:01:54

-They're trying to crack the Skasis Paradigm.

-The Skasis what?

0:01:540:01:58

The God-maker. The Universal Theory.

0:01:580:02:00

Crack that equation, you've got control of the building blocks of the universe.

0:02:000:02:03

On a very practical level, you need someone to ask the questions.

0:02:030:02:07

The Doctor knows everything, so needs a reason to say out loud what's going on

0:02:070:02:12

rather than just know it inside this head. Time and space and matter.

0:02:120:02:15

Yours to control.

0:02:150:02:17

-What? And the kids are like a giant computer?

-Yes.

0:02:170:02:19

So, there's that very, very pragmatic need to have somebody there alongside the Doctor.

0:02:190:02:26

SQUAWKING

0:02:260:02:29

You're asking the questions that your audience of all ages will ask.

0:02:320:02:36

Why? What? When? How? And that takes you forward.

0:02:360:02:40

-I can't shift it.

-I thought the sonic screwdriver could open anything.

0:02:420:02:45

Anything except a deadlocked seal. There must be something inside.

0:02:450:02:48

You're just allowing the audience to think, "What would that really be like?

0:02:480:02:52

"What would that feel like?" What would the sense of that be?"

0:02:520:02:56

To suddenly be hurtling through time and space.

0:02:560:03:00

-You've redecorated.

-You like it?

-Oh, I do, yeah.

0:03:000:03:05

So, to be an assistant, you enter into that genre.

0:03:050:03:08

You enter into that land of taking a leap into the unknown.

0:03:080:03:12

They say that first impressions count and none

0:03:180:03:20

more so than when mysterious alien meets future companion.

0:03:200:03:24

-What? What?

-Who are you?

0:03:240:03:28

Martha's meeting with the Time Lord was far from straightforward.

0:03:330:03:36

But, like, how?

0:03:360:03:38

Like so!

0:03:380:03:40

You see?

0:03:410:03:43

-Told you.

-No, but...

0:03:490:03:52

that was this morning.

0:03:520:03:53

We see him at the beginning of Series Three in a place in his life

0:03:530:03:57

where he's kind of just getting on with it on his own.

0:03:570:04:00

He wasn't looking to recruit anybody at that time.

0:04:000:04:02

You get one trip, then back home. I'd rather be on my own.

0:04:020:04:06

And I do think that she does display all of those things that he does admire in a companion.

0:04:060:04:13

-Hold on.

-Don't!

0:04:130:04:15

We'll lose all the air.

0:04:150:04:16

But they're not exactly airtight.

0:04:160:04:18

If the air was going to get sucked out, it would have happened straightaway. But it didn't.

0:04:180:04:22

-Very good point! Brilliant, in fact. What was your name?

-Martha.

0:04:220:04:26

And it was Jones, wasn't it?

0:04:260:04:28

Well, Martha Jones, the question is, how are we still breathing?

0:04:280:04:31

She speaks her mind, which I think he finds quite amusing.

0:04:310:04:35

You're completely mad.

0:04:350:04:36

He seemed to stumble across her in a time of his life when perhaps he

0:04:360:04:40

didn't expect to, so it probably starts as a more temporary thing.

0:04:400:04:44

Are you OK?

0:04:440:04:46

-Yeah.

-Sure?

-Yeah.

-Do you want to go back in?

-No way.

0:04:460:04:50

I mean, we could die any minute, but all the same, it's beautiful.

0:04:500:04:54

-Do you think?

-How many people want go to the moon? And here we are.

0:04:550:05:00

When we find Rose, there's nothing that exciting going on in her life.

0:05:000:05:06

And she just feels bored.

0:05:060:05:09

And when you're bored you get lethargic and lazy.

0:05:090:05:12

There's no point in getting up, sweetheart.

0:05:130:05:16

You've got no job to go to.

0:05:160:05:18

She's waiting for something to happen and sure enough it does.

0:05:180:05:22

Run!

0:05:260:05:27

She meets this guy who completely challenges her ideas,

0:05:320:05:35

like nobody else has ever done.

0:05:350:05:37

Who are you?

0:05:370:05:39

I told you, the Doctor.

0:05:390:05:41

Yeah, but Doctor what?

0:05:410:05:42

-Just the Doctor.

-The Doctor?

0:05:420:05:44

Hello!

0:05:440:05:46

Broadens her horizons.

0:05:460:05:47

-I saw things you wouldn't believe.

-Try me.

-Mummies.

-I've met ghosts.

0:05:470:05:51

-Robots, lots of robots.

-Slitheen in Downing Street.

0:05:510:05:55

-Daleks!

-Met the Emperor.

0:05:550:05:57

-Anti-matter monsters.

-Gas-mask zombies.

0:05:570:05:58

-Real living dinosaurs.

-Real living werewolf.

0:05:580:06:00

-The Loch Ness Monster!

-Seriously?

0:06:000:06:04

He sees there's something going on with this girl

0:06:040:06:07

and there's something special about her, so he invests in her

0:06:070:06:11

and she's loyal to him and she's committed

0:06:110:06:13

and she shows so much conviction in everything she does.

0:06:130:06:16

And when The Doctor first descends on companion-to-be Donna Noble,

0:06:160:06:19

it seems she has other commitments.

0:06:190:06:23

Well, she's fairly appalled and gobsmacked and not entirely pleased.

0:06:230:06:28

I mean, it is the middle of her wedding.

0:06:300:06:32

It's not the most ideal time to be snatched out of the space-time continuum.

0:06:320:06:35

SHE SCREAMS

0:06:390:06:42

She's fairly unforgiving about it.

0:06:480:06:50

She assumes that she's having some prank played on her

0:06:500:06:53

and she clearly doesn't imagine for one second

0:06:530:06:56

that the Doctor is really a time-travelling alien.

0:06:560:06:59

I demand you tell me right now where am I?

0:06:590:07:02

Inside the TARDIS.

0:07:020:07:03

-You what?

-The TARDIS.

0:07:030:07:05

-You what?

-The TARDIS!

0:07:050:07:06

-The what!?

-It's called the TARDIS.

0:07:060:07:08

That's not even a proper word. You're just saying things!

0:07:080:07:12

She just thinks she's being set up by Nerys.

0:07:120:07:14

Who was it? Who's paying you?

0:07:140:07:16

Was it Nerys? Oh, my God!

0:07:160:07:18

She's finally got me back. This has got Nerys written all over it.

0:07:180:07:23

It takes her a while to be convinced that the Doctor is who he says he is.

0:07:230:07:26

Who are you?

0:07:260:07:29

-I'm the Doctor. You?

-Donna.

0:07:290:07:34

-Human?

-Yeah. Is that optional?

0:07:360:07:40

Well, it is for me.

0:07:400:07:42

-You're an alien?

-Yeah.

0:07:460:07:49

Once the Doctor companions have got used to the idea of

0:07:520:07:56

a two-hearted Time Lord from outer space, they then have to

0:07:560:07:59

come to terms with the TARDIS, his totally pimped-out ride.

0:07:590:08:03

But it's just a box. But it's huge!

0:08:030:08:07

When I first walked into the TARDIS early one morning,

0:08:120:08:15

I was just overwhelmed by the size and scale of it. And it's beautiful.

0:08:150:08:19

It's very impressive.

0:08:190:08:21

And it takes your breath away.

0:08:210:08:23

Then, obviously, playing Rose, the idea of walking into this blue police box

0:08:230:08:27

and then entering this world,

0:08:270:08:31

because it is a world in there, it's this crazy world

0:08:310:08:35

and there's this crazy mad sorcerer in there

0:08:350:08:38

just conjuring up loads of magic.

0:08:380:08:40

Are you alien?

0:08:430:08:44

Yes.

0:08:440:08:47

-Is that all right?

-Yeah.

0:08:470:08:48

It's quite daunting at first for Rose.

0:08:480:08:50

That's OK. Culture shock. Happens to the best of us.

0:08:530:08:55

But then she kind of just slips into it

0:08:550:08:58

and, you know, learns to fly that thing and gets involved and mucks in

0:08:580:09:04

and has responsibilities in the TARDIS. And then it's her home.

0:09:040:09:08

Only a lucky few ever fly with The Doctor

0:09:100:09:12

and only the best of the best get their own key.

0:09:120:09:15

Promise you won't disappear?

0:09:150:09:17

Tell you what, TARDIS key. About time you had one.

0:09:220:09:26

See you later!

0:09:260:09:28

I think the moment the companion gets a key, it's absolutely clearly

0:09:280:09:31

like getting the keys to your front door when you're at home.

0:09:310:09:34

It is, it's trust. Here you can come and go as you please and treat it maybe more like your home.

0:09:340:09:39

So it's so important for Martha to receive the key,

0:09:390:09:44

especially in episode seven, which is, I believe, this pivotal moment.

0:09:440:09:48

Now, what do you say?

0:09:480:09:50

Ice-skating on the mineral lakes of Kurhan? Fancy it?

0:09:500:09:53

Whatever you like.

0:09:530:09:55

By the way, you'll be needing this.

0:09:580:10:01

-Really?

-Frequent flyer's privilege.

0:10:030:10:06

It's really quite far in to series three when Martha finally gets a key.

0:10:060:10:10

The Doctor's been resisting it, I suppose,

0:10:100:10:13

and he's been resisting the idea

0:10:130:10:15

that he's going to have anyone travelling with him at all.

0:10:150:10:19

But finally he has to face the fact that Martha's fairly indispensable to him.

0:10:190:10:26

-Thank you.

-Don't mention it.

0:10:260:10:29

At that point, I think she relaxes a little bit more,

0:10:310:10:36

that she, you know, is perhaps more of a permanent feature there.

0:10:360:10:40

So it's really significant to receive the key.

0:10:400:10:42

Donna ends up getting a key to the TARDIS

0:10:420:10:46

slightly incidentally because they're in the middle of sorting out,

0:10:460:10:51

you know, the end of the world.

0:10:510:10:53

-The air is disgusting.

-It's not so bad for me. Go on.

0:10:530:10:56

Get inside the TARDIS. Oh! I've never given you a key.

0:10:560:10:59

So he has to just quickly hand it over.

0:10:590:11:02

Then The Doctor feels a bit guilty about that and tries to make a bit of moment of it.

0:11:020:11:05

Go on, that's yours. Quite a big moment, really.

0:11:050:11:07

-Yeah, maybe we'll get sentimental after the world's finished choking to death.

-Good idea!

0:11:070:11:12

There's no real poetry in that moment, it's just a practical moment

0:11:120:11:17

that of course she's delighted about but she's not that way inclined.

0:11:170:11:22

Once a companion gets their own key,

0:11:220:11:24

it unlocks a world of adventures on board the TARDIS.

0:11:240:11:28

It's the TARDIS.

0:11:280:11:29

My TARDIS.

0:11:290:11:31

The best ship in the universe.

0:11:310:11:33

-Off we go then!

-Allons-y!

0:11:330:11:35

Come with me.

0:11:440:11:46

-I like it, don't you?

-I love it!

0:11:520:11:55

Search any social networking site for a companion of the Doctor

0:12:060:12:09

and their relationship status is, well, it's complicated.

0:12:090:12:13

Basically, the story between the Doctor and Rose was a love story.

0:12:210:12:26

They clearly found each other

0:12:260:12:28

when they both needed each other for very different reasons.

0:12:280:12:32

Rose needed a new life.

0:12:320:12:35

-Thanks.

-Thanks for what?

-Exactly.

0:12:350:12:38

The Doctor needed a touchstone.

0:12:400:12:43

The Doctor needed someone to level him out and to make him

0:12:430:12:47

believe in the possibilities of life again, I think.

0:12:470:12:52

I'm a Time Lord.

0:12:520:12:54

I'm the last of the Time Lords.

0:12:540:12:57

They're all gone.

0:12:570:12:59

I'm the only survivor.

0:12:590:13:00

I'm left travelling on my own because there's no one else.

0:13:020:13:04

There's me.

0:13:050:13:07

It's such an interesting dynamic because, reading the scripts,

0:13:070:13:11

you just can't put your finger on what their relationship is about.

0:13:110:13:15

And I don't think they really ever question it.

0:13:150:13:21

They just get on with it.

0:13:210:13:23

But there's this kind of suggestion that there may be some romance.

0:13:230:13:27

I think she's quite in love with him.

0:13:270:13:30

I think when you see them being most affectionate towards each other

0:13:330:13:36

is when they're having fun together.

0:13:360:13:38

Tooth And Claw, where they have the running joke of trying to get Queen Victoria to say, "I am not amused".

0:13:380:13:43

She's a fair old child. I bought her for sixpence in Old London Town.

0:13:430:13:47

-It was her or the Elephant Man, so...

-Thinks he's funny,

0:13:470:13:50

but I'm so not amused. What do you think, Ma'am?

0:13:500:13:52

There are the more obviously emotional scenes

0:13:520:13:55

like in Satan Pit when The Doctor is hanging on the end of the rope

0:13:550:14:00

and asking to be remembered to her. If you talk to Rose, just tell her...

0:14:000:14:06

Tell her...

0:14:140:14:16

Oh, she knows.

0:14:180:14:20

In Impossible planet, where they talk about setting up home together

0:14:200:14:24

and whether that's ever likely to happen...

0:14:240:14:27

Me, living in a house? Now, that is terrifying.

0:14:270:14:32

You'd have to get a mortgage!

0:14:320:14:34

-No.

-Oh, yeah!

-I'm dying. I'm dying. That's it. It is all over.

0:14:340:14:38

What about me? I'd have to get one too.

0:14:380:14:40

I don't know. It could be the same one.

0:14:400:14:43

We could both...

0:14:430:14:44

I dunno, share. Or not. Whatever.

0:14:460:14:49

-All sorts of...

-Anyway...

-We'll see.

0:14:490:14:52

When The Doctor goes missing in Fear Her and Rose wonders if she's lost him,

0:14:520:14:58

and then of course when they're reunited again,

0:14:580:15:00

it's a great scene where they talk about cupcakes.

0:15:000:15:03

I can't stress this enough. Ball-bearings you can eat.

0:15:030:15:07

Masterpiece!

0:15:070:15:08

Ooh! I thought I'd lost you!

0:15:100:15:12

They talk about spending the rest of their life together and

0:15:120:15:16

then the Doctor gets some kind of portent of doom.

0:15:160:15:18

-No, we'll always be OK, you and me.

-FIREWORKS FIZZ AND BANG

0:15:180:15:23

Don't you reckon, Doctor?

0:15:230:15:25

-Something in the air. Something coming.

-What?

0:15:270:15:29

A storm's approaching.

0:15:310:15:33

I think the thing with Rose and the Doctor was that this was a sparky

0:15:360:15:40

bright girl from an estate that gets plucked into time travel

0:15:400:15:44

and you see over the time under the Doctor's tutelage and friendship,

0:15:440:15:49

this sort of young girl blossom

0:15:490:15:51

into this clever, responsible, beautiful woman.

0:15:510:15:55

I'll see you later.

0:15:550:15:57

Not if I see you first!

0:15:570:15:59

And it was the first time as a viewer you really got to see the Doctor engage with another person.

0:16:040:16:10

It left an imprint that then went through all the companions.

0:16:150:16:19

The Battle of Canary Wharf.

0:16:190:16:21

I saw the list of the dead.

0:16:210:16:23

-It said Rose Tyler.

-On no! Sorry.

0:16:230:16:26

She's alive.

0:16:260:16:28

-You're kidding?

-Parallel world. Safe and sound.

0:16:280:16:30

-And Mickey. And her mother.

-Yes!

0:16:300:16:33

Good old Rose.

0:16:360:16:37

The relationship she thought she would maybe at the beginning

0:16:370:16:41

have with the Doctor is never going to happen.

0:16:410:16:43

He is never going to love her like she loves him.

0:16:430:16:46

And it's just painful for her to just be around him all the time.

0:16:460:16:49

He looked kind of nice.

0:16:490:16:50

-He's a bit more than that.

-Are you and him...?

0:16:520:16:54

Sometimes I think he likes me

0:16:540:16:57

but sometimes I just think he needs someone with him.

0:16:570:17:01

The Doctor doesn't seem to notice that Martha might have a bit of a crush on him.

0:17:010:17:05

Whether he chooses not to notice it or whether he genuinely can't see

0:17:050:17:08

it is a matter for some debate.

0:17:080:17:11

So, who's going where? There's only one bed.

0:17:110:17:14

We'll manage. Come on.

0:17:140:17:16

In the Shakespeare Code where they end up sharing a bed together, you know,

0:17:160:17:20

it would seem quite cruel of the Doctor

0:17:200:17:23

to be doing that if he actually knew that she was in some way smitten.

0:17:230:17:28

So I like to believe that he genuinely hadn't noticed it.

0:17:280:17:30

Are you going to stand there all night?

0:17:300:17:32

Budge up a bit, then.

0:17:380:17:41

-Sorry.

-Martha possibly sees this as her opportunity, but it doesn't

0:17:410:17:44

really work out that way because The Doctor couldn't be less interested.

0:17:440:17:46

There's not much room. Us two here, same bed.

0:17:460:17:50

-Tongues will wag.

-There's such a thing as psychic energy, but a human couldn't channel it like that.

0:17:500:17:55

Not without a generator the size of Taunton,

0:17:550:17:57

and we would have spotted that. No.

0:17:570:17:59

There's something I'm missing, Martha.

0:18:000:18:03

Something really close.

0:18:060:18:07

And then makes the fatal mistake of mentioning the ex-girlfriend.

0:18:070:18:10

Rose would know. A friend of mine, Rose, right now she'd say exactly the right thing.

0:18:120:18:19

Still, can't be helped.

0:18:230:18:25

You're a novice. Never mind.

0:18:250:18:27

-Take you back home tomorrow.

-Great.

0:18:270:18:30

What the companions always want from The Doctor -

0:18:320:18:36

the acceptance, they don't get in their own world,

0:18:360:18:40

so they're on the TARDIS, doing what they can to please The Doctor

0:18:400:18:45

to get that acceptance or to get that romance.

0:18:450:18:47

I know what it's like.

0:18:470:18:48

It's like when you fancy someone and they don't even know you exist.

0:18:480:18:52

That's what it's like. Come on!

0:18:520:18:55

You too, huh?

0:18:560:18:57

Although they became very close and they became a good team,

0:18:590:19:04

that was always going to drive a rift between them

0:19:040:19:08

that the Doctor could never be to Martha

0:19:080:19:11

what she ultimately wanted him to be.

0:19:110:19:13

You got yourself a forward-thinking guy with that hot potato in the sharp suit.

0:19:130:19:17

He's not...we're not together.

0:19:170:19:20

Oh, sure you are. I've seen the way you look at him.

0:19:200:19:23

-It's obvious.

-Not to him.

0:19:230:19:25

So then with Donna, I think there was a great relief for The Doctor

0:19:250:19:29

that she couldn't be less interested in him

0:19:290:19:31

as anything other than a friend.

0:19:310:19:33

-I just want a mate.

-You just want to mate?

0:19:330:19:38

I just want a mate.

0:19:380:19:40

You're not mating with me, sunshine.

0:19:400:19:42

A mate. I want a mate!

0:19:420:19:45

Just as well because I'm not having any of that nonsense.

0:19:460:19:49

You're just a long streak of nothing. Alien nothing.

0:19:490:19:53

There we are, then.

0:19:530:19:55

OK.

0:19:550:19:57

I can come?

0:19:580:20:00

Yeah. Of course you can, yeah.

0:20:000:20:03

I'd love it.

0:20:050:20:07

And they were just best mates, I think, which was usually quite liberating for the Doctor.

0:20:070:20:12

They just had a laugh.

0:20:120:20:14

I'm here! In Rome.

0:20:140:20:17

Donna Noble in Rome.

0:20:170:20:20

This is just weird.

0:20:200:20:23

I think the Doctor has to slightly readjust to what he's used to in a companion.

0:20:230:20:27

I've been thinking. Sorry.

0:20:270:20:30

I'm going home.

0:20:300:20:32

Really?

0:20:330:20:34

I've got to.

0:20:340:20:36

Well, if that's what you want.

0:20:380:20:41

I mean, it's a bit soon.

0:20:430:20:45

Thank you.

0:20:500:20:52

Thank you, Donna Noble.

0:20:530:20:55

It's been brilliant.

0:20:550:20:56

You've saved my life in so many ways.

0:20:560:21:00

You're...

0:21:020:21:05

You're just popping home for a visit, that's what you mean.

0:21:050:21:08

You dumbo.

0:21:080:21:09

-And then you're coming back.

-Do you know what you are?

0:21:090:21:12

-A great big outer space dunce.

-Yeah.

0:21:120:21:16

Donna brings what I have always believed

0:21:160:21:19

was an essential element into life

0:21:190:21:22

which is men and women can be friends

0:21:220:21:25

and can be platonic friends and we can be good working companions.

0:21:250:21:30

We don't have to make everything into a, "Do I fancy him? Don't I?"

0:21:300:21:35

That's not necessarily an issue.

0:21:350:21:37

Hello!

0:21:370:21:38

Who are you?

0:21:380:21:40

I am...Spartacus.

0:21:400:21:43

And so am I.

0:21:430:21:45

-Mr and Mrs Spartacus?

-Oh, no. We're not together.

0:21:450:21:48

Then brother and sister?

0:21:480:21:49

Yes, of course! You look very much alike.

0:21:490:21:53

BOTH: Really?

0:21:530:21:54

She was a great reality check for him.

0:21:540:21:56

And wouldn't really let him away with anything.

0:21:560:22:00

She belongs with us. With you. She's your daughter.

0:22:000:22:04

She's a soldier. She came out of that machine.

0:22:040:22:07

Oh yes, I know that bit!

0:22:070:22:08

She's quite direct, you know.

0:22:080:22:12

So there's no need for her to coat it in anything.

0:22:120:22:16

Come here.

0:22:160:22:18

Listen.

0:22:180:22:20

And then tell me where she belongs.

0:22:200:22:24

HEARTBEAT

0:22:240:22:27

HEARTBEAT

0:22:310:22:34

It was never going to be an easy ride with Donna,

0:22:340:22:37

but it was going to be worth it in the end. Do you know what I mean?

0:22:370:22:41

To take the time for them to get to know each other.

0:22:410:22:45

Although he never gets hitched to any of his travelling companions,

0:22:480:22:52

The Doctor still has the unenviable task of dealing with the dreaded in-laws.

0:22:520:22:57

If you just stay with the Doctor and his companion,

0:23:050:23:07

it almost becomes normal and it's "There's another monster",

0:23:070:23:11

and "Oh, we'll just have to save the planet yet again".

0:23:110:23:14

Get it off me!

0:23:150:23:17

Sylvia and all mothers help the audience to see

0:23:190:23:25

how extraordinary the experience is that the companions are going through.

0:23:250:23:30

-And what time's this?

-How old am I?

0:23:300:23:34

And you get the family dynamic that makes a much more rounded figure.

0:23:340:23:40

It's no good sitting there, dressed up, looking like you're job-hunting.

0:23:400:23:44

You've got to do something.

0:23:440:23:46

It's not like the 1980s. No-one's unemployed these days except you.

0:23:460:23:51

You know where they've come from, how they've got their strengths, how they are the people that they are.

0:23:510:23:57

And are not just companions and are not people that are there

0:23:570:24:01

to fall in love or to be told what to do, but are people in their own right.

0:24:010:24:05

Mums and daughters may have their ups and downs,

0:24:060:24:10

but there's no-one quite like granddad.

0:24:100:24:12

I think he's looked after Donna ever since she was born.

0:24:140:24:18

It would appear she's his only grandchild. I don't know.

0:24:180:24:21

But she's certainly his favourite and he's spoiled her forever.

0:24:210:24:25

And also, she was sympathetic to him with his telescope

0:24:250:24:27

up in the allotment, looking at stars and all that sort of business.

0:24:270:24:31

-Brought you a Thermos.

-Oh, ta.

0:24:310:24:34

Have you seen anything?

0:24:340:24:35

Yeah, I've got Venus. There within a current magnitude of -3.5 at least.

0:24:350:24:41

That's what it says in my little book.

0:24:410:24:44

Have a seat. Go on.

0:24:440:24:45

There you go. All right?

0:24:450:24:48

That's the only planet in the solar system named after a woman.

0:24:500:24:55

Good for her.

0:24:560:24:57

And he was just incredibly fond and protective of her.

0:24:590:25:02

You're not yourself, I'll give you that.

0:25:020:25:05

Introducing families and relatives to the companions is so brilliant

0:25:060:25:11

because people love, at home, to see kind of everyday life going on.

0:25:110:25:17

That's yours.

0:25:180:25:20

It's pink.

0:25:210:25:23

Mum, it should be yours!

0:25:230:25:25

Jackie doesn't know what's hit her

0:25:250:25:26

when this strange man arrives and her daughter goes off with him

0:25:260:25:31

and she's terrified because she thinks, "What's he doing with her?"

0:25:310:25:35

Just answer me this.

0:25:350:25:38

Is my daughter safe?

0:25:380:25:41

I'm fine.

0:25:410:25:42

'Is she safe?'

0:25:420:25:45

Will she always be safe?

0:25:450:25:47

Part of her thinks, "Why isn't he coming after me?" kind of thing because she's a terrible flirt.

0:25:470:25:52

-Um... I'm in my dressing-gown.

-Yes, you are.

0:25:520:25:58

There's a strange man in my bedroom.

0:25:580:26:01

Yes, there is.

0:26:010:26:03

Well, anything could happen.

0:26:040:26:06

No!

0:26:070:26:10

Then when she realises and understands that he's somebody very special

0:26:100:26:15

and he's going to really look after her daughter, then she's in.

0:26:150:26:20

He's not that bad if you gave him a chance.

0:26:200:26:23

He's good in a crisis, I'll give him that.

0:26:230:26:25

It goes from the hostile...

0:26:250:26:29

Stitch this, mate!

0:26:290:26:30

"How dare you do that to my daughter?"

0:26:330:26:35

To the, "You're all right".

0:26:350:26:37

What does he eat?

0:26:370:26:39

How do you mean?

0:26:390:26:40

I was going to do shepherd's pie. All of us. Proper sit-down.

0:26:400:26:45

Cos...I'm ready to listen.

0:26:450:26:48

I think in The Christmas Invasion when the Doctor becomes poorly,

0:26:480:26:55

she really loves him in quite a maternal way.

0:26:550:26:59

I'm having a neuron implosion. I need...

0:26:590:27:02

What do you need? Tell me, tell me. Painkillers? You need aspirin? Codeine? Paracetamol? Pepto Bismal?

0:27:020:27:08

Liquid paraffin? Vitamin C?

0:27:080:27:10

Vitamin D? Vitamin E? Is it food?

0:27:100:27:12

Something simple. Bowl of soup? Nice bowl of soup and a sandwich?

0:27:120:27:16

A little ham sandwich?

0:27:160:27:17

-I need you to shut up!

-Oh, he hasn't changed that much, has he?

0:27:170:27:20

And loves them for also looking after her daughter.

0:27:200:27:26

And, in fact, saving the world. Jackie thinks that's brilliant.

0:27:260:27:30

I think the home-life context, sort of,

0:27:310:27:34

lets you see what a journey they're on.

0:27:340:27:37

I don't mind your father making a fool of himself in private.

0:27:370:27:40

But this Leo's 21st. Everyone is going to be there and the entire family is going to look ridiculous.

0:27:400:27:46

Mum, it's a party. I can't stop Dad from bringing his girlfriend.

0:27:460:27:49

You know, they're chugging along with all the ordinary daily stresses and struggles that many people have.

0:27:490:27:55

You know, work, relationships, money...

0:27:550:27:58

Clive, that woman is disrespecting me. She's never liked me!

0:27:580:28:01

I can't think why, after you stole my husband!

0:28:010:28:04

Then this sort of bombshell is dropped into their lives.

0:28:040:28:07

Which is the Doctor.

0:28:070:28:08

This is a friend of mine. The Doctor.

0:28:080:28:10

Doctor what?

0:28:100:28:11

No, it's just the Doctor.

0:28:110:28:13

-We've been doing some work together.

-You all right, mate?

0:28:130:28:16

-Lovely to meet you, Mrs Jones. I've heard a lot about you.

-Have you? What have you heard?

0:28:160:28:21

You know, that you're Martha's mother and...

0:28:210:28:23

No, actually, that's about it. We haven't had much time to chat.

0:28:260:28:30

-You know, been busy.

-Busy? Doing what, exactly?

0:28:300:28:34

You know...stuff.

0:28:350:28:38

I think any mother who sees her children put in harm's way

0:28:380:28:41

will want to go to what they think is the source of that and stop it

0:28:410:28:45

and so, for Francine, the source of the harm in her children's life is the Doctor.

0:28:450:28:49

So he deserves a slap!

0:28:490:28:51

Ah, Mrs Jones.

0:28:510:28:52

We still haven't finished our chat.

0:28:520:28:54

Keep away from my daughter.

0:28:540:28:56

-Mum, what are you doing?

-All of the mothers. Every time!

0:28:560:29:00

But for all his heroics, sometimes it's not the Doctor that saves the day.

0:29:030:29:08

Occasionally, it's the companion that has to swing into action.

0:29:080:29:12

There's nothing you can do!

0:29:220:29:23

I've got no A-levels, no job, no future.

0:29:250:29:29

But I tell you what I have got.

0:29:300:29:33

Jericho Street junior school under-sevens gymnastics team.

0:29:330:29:37

I got the bronze.

0:29:370:29:38

MUSIC: Theme from Indiana Jones

0:29:400:29:43

Rose!

0:29:510:29:52

Now we're in trouble.

0:29:560:29:57

At times, the Doctor can't see a way out of the situation.

0:29:570:30:01

And Rose is there and she's so astute

0:30:010:30:04

and so inquisitive that she spots things.

0:30:040:30:07

How can you hide something that big in a city this small?

0:30:070:30:10

-Hide what?

-The transmitter.

0:30:100:30:11

In the end, ultimately, they help the Doctor with his mission.

0:30:110:30:15

A huge, metal, circular structure. Like a dish, like a wheel. Radial.

0:30:150:30:19

Close to where we're standing. Must be completely invisible.

0:30:190:30:22

What?

0:30:230:30:25

What?

0:30:270:30:28

What is it, what?

0:30:300:30:31

Oh.

0:30:350:30:37

At the end of Satan Pit, yes, it's Rose who manages

0:30:370:30:41

to send Will Thorpe into the vacuum of space with a bolt gun.

0:30:410:30:47

Nothing shall either destroy me! Nothing!

0:30:480:30:50

Go to hell.

0:30:500:30:53

Fear Her, as well. Of course it's Rose,

0:30:590:31:01

when the Doctor disappears into Chloe Webber's painting,

0:31:010:31:04

it's Rose who takes matters into her own hands.

0:31:040:31:07

Doctor, if you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of there.

0:31:070:31:10

I'll find the pod.

0:31:100:31:12

It's Rose who works out what the Isolus needs to fly free.

0:31:120:31:15

No! No!

0:31:150:31:18

Stop! You just took a council axe from a council van and now you're digging up a council road!

0:31:180:31:24

I'm reporting you to the council!

0:31:240:31:26

-It went for the hottest thing in the street, your tar!

-What is it?

0:31:300:31:35

It's a spaceship. Not a council spaceship, I'm afraid.

0:31:350:31:39

It's Rose who wields an axe to get into the bedroom where it's all kicking off.

0:31:390:31:44

She has to sort that one out herself.

0:31:470:31:50

Feel the love.

0:31:500:31:52

Oh, the maid is full of fire!

0:32:090:32:11

And you can shut up!

0:32:110:32:12

'She is not a wallflower.'

0:32:120:32:14

She likes to get her hands dirty.

0:32:140:32:17

She likes to get in there and get involved.

0:32:170:32:20

Martha, where are you?

0:32:200:32:21

It's all right, I'm here. Just save everything up.

0:32:210:32:24

That's my girl!

0:32:240:32:25

Big bolt of lightning, electricity all down the building.

0:32:250:32:28

Connect this to the lift and they get zapped.

0:32:280:32:30

I think there's moments when your children exceed your expectations and you go...

0:32:300:32:36

"Oh, you're not just my baby.

0:32:360:32:38

"You're a whole person and you can do amazing things. Wow."

0:32:380:32:43

'I think that Martha's journey to save the world,'

0:32:450:32:51

is SO important...

0:32:510:32:54

because, you know, she knows that it's all on her.

0:32:540:32:59

No need to ask who you are. The famous Martha Jones.

0:32:590:33:02

How long since you were last in Britain?

0:33:020:33:04

365 days.

0:33:040:33:07

It's been a long year.

0:33:070:33:08

The sacrifice that Martha makes, actually, to save the day, to save the world from The Master,

0:33:080:33:14

'is on a scale that we've never seen elsewhere, actually.'

0:33:140:33:19

She finds that year draining, difficult, lonely.

0:33:220:33:28

Just really quite, you know, negative in terms of what she's been asked to do.

0:33:280:33:33

But she keeps the faith.

0:33:330:33:35

If Martha Jones became a legend, then that's wrong.

0:33:350:33:37

Because my name isn't important. There's someone else.

0:33:370:33:40

And building towards this one moment in time

0:33:400:33:43

where the Doctor's going to be able to use this psychic network

0:33:430:33:47

to bring himself back to full power and sort The Master out.

0:33:470:33:52

Right across the world, one word, just one thought at one moment.

0:33:520:33:56

But with 15 satellites.

0:33:560:33:58

What?

0:33:580:34:00

-The Archangel Network.

-A telepathic field,

0:34:000:34:03

binding the whole human race together with every person on earth

0:34:030:34:06

thinking the same thing at the same time. And that word...is Doctor.

0:34:060:34:10

-ALL: Doctor! Doctor!

-Doctor!

0:34:170:34:22

-Doctor.

-Doctor.

0:34:220:34:24

The one thing you can't do - stop them thinking.

0:34:280:34:32

I think it's just perfect for her and a perfect ending for her, I think.

0:34:330:34:38

But for Donna, it's not about being an action hero.

0:34:390:34:42

She has other skills at her fingertips.

0:34:420:34:45

Did I ever tell you, best temp in Chiswick?

0:34:450:34:48

100 words per minute.

0:34:480:34:49

Donna's clerical skills end up becoming quite important to the future of the universe.

0:34:490:34:56

Oi, you lot. All your stormtroopers and your sonics, rubbish.

0:34:560:35:00

You should have come with me.

0:35:000:35:02

You've got the assembled might of UNIT and Martha Jones

0:35:020:35:09

and everybody else trying to figure out what's going on.

0:35:090:35:12

And Donna just looks through the files.

0:35:120:35:15

I spent years as a temp. I can find my way around an office blindfold.

0:35:150:35:19

The first thing I noticed is an empty file.

0:35:190:35:21

Why, what's inside it? Or what's not inside?

0:35:210:35:24

Sick days.

0:35:240:35:26

There aren't any. Hundreds of people working here and no one's sick.

0:35:260:35:31

Not one hangover, man-flu, sneaky little shopping trip. Nothing, not ever.

0:35:310:35:36

They don't get ill.

0:35:360:35:38

She can't imagine anyone would go through life without claiming the odd sick day.

0:35:380:35:43

So that ends up being the first clue to what is going on.

0:35:430:35:46

-That can't be right.

-You've been checking out the building,

0:35:460:35:50

-you should have been checking out the work force.

-I can see why he likes you.

0:35:500:35:55

-You are good.

-Supertemp.

0:35:550:35:58

Dr Jones, set up a medical post, start examining the workers. I'll get them sent through.

0:35:580:36:02

Come on, Donna. Give me a hand.

0:36:020:36:04

She has to step up because she's left alone in the TARDIS and she doesn't know.

0:36:040:36:09

She doesn't really know if he's coming back.

0:36:090:36:11

PHONE RINGS

0:36:110:36:13

-What's happened, where are you?

-Still on earth. But don't worry, I've got my secret weapon.

0:36:130:36:18

-'And what's that?'

-You.

0:36:180:36:19

Somehow, that's not making me happy.

0:36:190:36:22

You know, she is saying, "I can't change a plug."

0:36:220:36:25

Or whatever it is, "I can't mend a fuse."

0:36:250:36:27

I can't even mend a fuse.

0:36:270:36:28

Stop talking about yourself like that. You can do this,

0:36:280:36:31

'I promise.'

0:36:310:36:33

Then there she does the one thing that, you know,

0:36:330:36:37

enables them to defeat the Sontarans, really.

0:36:370:36:41

She disables them with a big old mallet, shot to the back of his neck.

0:36:440:36:49

Back of the neck!

0:36:530:36:55

In The Doctor's Daughter, it is Donna who figures out the numbers on the wall are a big old space date.

0:36:560:37:02

Look at that.

0:37:020:37:04

-It's like the numbers in the tunnels.

-No, no, no. But listen.

0:37:040:37:08

I spent six months working as a temp in Hounslow Library and I mastered the Dewey decimal system

0:37:080:37:13

in two days flat. I'm good with numbers.

0:37:130:37:16

-It's staring us in the face!

-What is?

0:37:160:37:18

It's the date.

0:37:200:37:21

At the end of the day, she will make the ultimate sacrifice.

0:37:210:37:25

In Turn Left we see her sacrificing herself

0:37:250:37:30

for the future of everyone else.

0:37:300:37:34

That's right. Isn't it? I don't die. If I'd change things, I don't die.

0:37:350:37:40

That's right, isn't it?

0:37:400:37:42

That's not when she's gonna die. She's going to have to.... Well, she has to make the decision to die.

0:37:420:37:47

Please.

0:37:480:37:51

The Doctor will always put his assistants...

0:37:560:37:59

Not intentionally, but he always puts them in some kind of danger.

0:37:590:38:03

And he gets in the danger himself.

0:38:030:38:05

But he will try his utmost to save them.

0:38:050:38:07

# Rescue me

0:38:070:38:09

# Oh, take me in your arms

0:38:090:38:11

# Come on and rescue me. #

0:38:370:38:39

Doctor, get me out!

0:38:410:38:43

I think this is my dance.

0:38:450:38:46

Help me!

0:38:480:38:49

# Rescue me! #

0:38:530:38:55

Let me go!

0:38:550:38:56

Now, jump!

0:39:000:39:01

# Come on and rescue me

0:39:150:39:17

# Did it like that and now we do it like this

0:39:170:39:21

# Did it like that and now we do it like this... #

0:39:210:39:22

Go to your room.

0:39:220:39:24

# Did it like that and now we do it like this

0:39:240:39:27

# Did it like that and now we do it like this. #

0:39:280:39:32

Did you miss me?

0:39:330:39:34

Now, sometimes our man from Gallifrey can go a little too far.

0:39:370:39:41

Often, a good companion is the only one who can bring this time traveller back down to earth.

0:39:410:39:47

Just...promise me one thing.

0:39:520:39:58

Find someone.

0:39:580:40:00

-I don't need anyone.

-Yes, you do.

0:40:010:40:04

Cos sometimes I think you need someone to stop you.

0:40:040:40:08

Yeah.

0:40:110:40:12

I think there's something just about

0:40:120:40:13

having someone there for the Doctor to look out for and look after,

0:40:130:40:17

which tempers his excesses in themself, I think.

0:40:170:40:21

Just...

0:40:210:40:24

I suppose it's...you know,

0:40:240:40:27

having another person there gives you an objectivity

0:40:270:40:30

on yourself, I think,

0:40:300:40:31

which is something the Doctor clearly requires.

0:40:310:40:34

It's one of the many necessary functions

0:40:340:40:36

that his travelling companions provide for him, I think.

0:40:360:40:40

Get out the way!

0:40:400:40:42

Rose, get out the way! Now!

0:40:460:40:48

No.

0:40:480:40:49

She's not scared to say no to the Doctor or challenge him.

0:40:490:40:54

I won't let you do this.

0:40:540:40:56

That thing killed hundreds of people.

0:40:560:40:58

It's not the one pointing the gun at me.

0:40:580:41:00

I think that's something he finds quite brilliant about her.

0:41:000:41:04

Because she will say no.

0:41:040:41:05

It couldn't kill van Statten and it couldn't kill me. It's changing.

0:41:050:41:10

And what about you, Doctor?

0:41:100:41:13

What the hell are you changing into?

0:41:130:41:15

I think it's a really important role for the companion

0:41:180:41:22

to be the Doctor's moral guardian, if you like.

0:41:220:41:24

I think there are

0:41:240:41:26

going to be times when the Doctor

0:41:260:41:31

will get quite out of hand, I would have thought.

0:41:310:41:34

My home planet is far away and long since gone.

0:41:340:41:38

But its name lives on.

0:41:380:41:40

Gallifrey.

0:41:400:41:42

They murdered the Racnoss!

0:41:430:41:46

I warned you.

0:41:460:41:48

You did this.

0:41:480:41:50

No! No! Doctor!

0:41:500:41:54

No!

0:41:560:41:57

He's really stopped at the brink of committing genocide by Donna.

0:41:570:42:01

My children!

0:42:010:42:07

Doctor!

0:42:070:42:09

Ah!

0:42:090:42:10

You can stop now.

0:42:100:42:12

My children!

0:42:120:42:17

I think that though quickly the companions come to realise it,

0:42:170:42:21

and perhaps their part is to help him keep perspective.

0:42:210:42:25

Because he's great, but he has got a fury

0:42:250:42:29

that I think needs reining in from time to time.

0:42:290:42:32

Incredible. Ghosts that are not ghosts, but beings from another

0:42:320:42:37

world who can only exist in our realm by inhabiting cadavers.

0:42:370:42:42

Good system - it might work.

0:42:420:42:45

Rose finds the Doctor's approach to his work

0:42:450:42:48

or his mission quite inhumane.

0:42:480:42:51

And at times he can be very cold and alien.

0:42:510:42:54

And that really annoys her.

0:42:540:42:55

You can't let them run around inside dead people.

0:42:550:42:59

Why not? It's like recycling.

0:42:590:43:00

-Seriously, though, you can't.

-Seriously, though, I can.

0:43:000:43:03

But it's just...wrong.

0:43:030:43:05

She is part of the human race.

0:43:050:43:07

So when she meets aliens and humans in the same room, she's always

0:43:070:43:12

most likely to feel more sympathy and she's more compassionate

0:43:120:43:16

towards the people that are involved.

0:43:160:43:18

Those bodies were living people, we should respect them - even in death.

0:43:180:43:22

Do you carry a donor card?

0:43:220:43:23

That's different...

0:43:230:43:25

It is different, it's a different morality. Get used to it or go home.

0:43:250:43:28

But, as with all good things, time with the Doctor

0:43:310:43:35

must always come to an end.

0:43:350:43:36

Join Doctor Who's greatest moments for the final farewells

0:43:360:43:40

-of his finest companions.

-No!

0:43:400:43:43

The one thing you learn about the people who surround the Doctor,

0:43:490:43:53

or who befriend the Doctor or who become companions to the Doctor,

0:43:530:43:57

it's inevitable they'll leave.

0:43:570:43:59

The sacrifice will be them not returning to the Doctor.

0:43:590:44:04

Rose was a sacrifice, in a sense.

0:44:040:44:07

She was taken to that dimension,

0:44:070:44:09

and the Doctor was part of the cause of that, in a way.

0:44:090:44:12

You have the sacrifice of Captain Jack on Satellite 5.

0:44:120:44:17

Exterminate!

0:44:170:44:19

I kind of figured that.

0:44:190:44:21

You've got a different kind of sacrifice with Donna.

0:44:220:44:26

The Doctor sacrifices his relationship with her

0:44:260:44:28

in order to keep her...sane, you know?

0:44:280:44:33

It's one of the saddest and gut-wrenching moments.

0:44:330:44:37

Oh, Donna Noble. I am so sorry.

0:44:370:44:40

But we had the best of times.

0:44:430:44:45

'The Bad Wolf Bay scene is one that a lot of people talk about'

0:44:500:44:54

and is certainly something that...

0:44:540:44:58

you know, is the culmination of two years of this story

0:44:580:45:00

of the Doctor and Rose, and it's a beautifully written scene,

0:45:000:45:03

'and Billie is so wonderful in it, it's a real favourite of mine.'

0:45:030:45:06

-Where are we? Where did the gap come out?

-We're in Norway.

0:45:060:45:10

Norway, right.

0:45:100:45:12

About 50 miles out of Bergen.

0:45:120:45:15

It's called Darlig Ulv Stranden.

0:45:150:45:18

-Dalek?

-Darlig.

0:45:180:45:21

It's Norwegian for "bad".

0:45:210:45:22

This translates as Bad Wolf Bay.

0:45:240:45:27

'It was the end of...'

0:45:290:45:30

my first year in the show, which had been

0:45:300:45:33

a very...a big deal for me and had been very emotional in lots of ways.

0:45:330:45:38

Here you are...living a life day after day.

0:45:380:45:42

The one adventure I can never have.

0:45:450:45:47

Am I ever gonna see you again?

0:45:500:45:52

You can't.

0:45:550:45:57

People who are very much... you know, who love each other

0:45:570:46:01

deeply, who could be travelling around the universe together,

0:46:010:46:03

are separated just through trying to save the universe,

0:46:030:46:07

and that makes the tragedy even worse.

0:46:070:46:09

I love you.

0:46:100:46:12

Quite right, too.

0:46:140:46:16

And I suppose...

0:46:190:46:22

..if it's my last chance to say it...

0:46:240:46:26

Rose Tyler...

0:46:320:46:34

'Martha does definitely change, cos she has experienced, and her and

0:46:400:46:43

'her family experienced all the things they did'

0:46:430:46:45

at the end of series three,

0:46:450:46:47

I think that it's one of the reasons she doesn't want

0:46:470:46:50

to travel with the Doctor any more, she needs to be with her family.

0:46:500:46:53

I've spent all these years training to be a doctor,

0:46:530:46:55

now I've got people to look after.

0:46:550:46:57

They saw half the planet slaughtered and they're devastated -

0:46:570:47:01

-I can't leave them.

-Course not.

0:47:010:47:03

'When she chooses to leave him,'

0:47:030:47:06

you see a young woman who has grown into herself...

0:47:060:47:10

a young woman who's gone, "I love you...

0:47:110:47:15

"Oh, you don't love me. OK, I have to be grown-up about this

0:47:150:47:19

"and I have to just get on with my life."

0:47:190:47:21

That's a hugely mature thing to do.

0:47:210:47:23

Thank you.

0:47:290:47:31

I think he again unintentionally made her feel a little bit...second best,

0:47:330:47:38

but she's able to kind of stand up tall,

0:47:380:47:41

and I think she realises she needs to maintain standing up tall.

0:47:410:47:45

The scene where Martha leaves, the Doctor's been fully aware

0:47:460:47:49

of what's been going on but has chosen to ignore it, and she calls him on that.

0:47:490:47:53

Cos the thing is, it's like my friend Vicky.

0:47:560:47:59

She lived with this bloke, student housing, five of them, all packed in, and this bloke was called Sean.

0:47:590:48:03

And she loved him. She did, she completely adored him, spent all day long talking about him.

0:48:030:48:09

-Is this going anywhere?

-Yes!

0:48:090:48:11

Cos he never looked at her twice.

0:48:110:48:14

I think that's an interesting moment as well, er...

0:48:140:48:19

where the Doctor is forced to admit that he's been insensitive.

0:48:190:48:23

And I told her, I always said to her time and time again, I said, "Get out."

0:48:230:48:30

So this is me, getting out.

0:48:350:48:38

The tragedy of the Doctor and Donna, I think, is that they had such a great time.

0:48:410:48:46

You know, the Doctor had had...

0:48:460:48:48

We had the love story with Rose that didn't work out, we had the unrequited love story

0:48:480:48:51

with Martha that didn't work out,

0:48:510:48:52

and finally he's just travelling the universe with a great mate.

0:48:520:48:56

You are gonna love this! One, two, three...

0:48:560:48:58

-Mmm!

-Ah! It's lovely!

0:49:000:49:03

There's no complications, there's no agenda, and they're just seeing the universe and drinking it up.

0:49:030:49:09

And then circumstances conspire against them,

0:49:090:49:12

and Donna,

0:49:120:49:14

although she's ended up saving all of reality by taking on some of the Doctor's persona...

0:49:140:49:21

I thought we'd try the planet Feldspoon, just cos. What a good name, Feldspoon.

0:49:210:49:25

Apparently it's got mountains that sway in the breeze, mountains that move, can you imagine?

0:49:250:49:30

..that will also ultimately kill her, so he has to remove that from her mind.

0:49:300:49:34

You know you could fix that chameleon circuit if you just tried hot-binding the fragment links and superseding

0:49:340:49:38

the binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary...

0:49:380:49:43

binary... I'm fine!

0:49:430:49:45

When he takes me back, after he has had to...

0:49:450:49:47

erase everything from my memory, that version of Donna is dead,

0:49:470:49:52

and I just think it's the most devastating...

0:49:520:49:55

I think it's sadder than if she'd just actually died,

0:49:550:49:59

because just before he wipes her memory, she knows how

0:49:590:50:02

awful that is, because she says, "Please don't, I can't go back," because she sees how far she's come.

0:50:020:50:07

The rest of my life...

0:50:080:50:09

travelling...

0:50:090:50:12

in the TARDIS.

0:50:120:50:15

The Doctor-Donna.

0:50:150:50:17

Oh...

0:50:200:50:22

Oh, my G...

0:50:220:50:25

I can't go back.

0:50:250:50:26

Don't make me go back.

0:50:280:50:30

Doctor...

0:50:300:50:32

Please. Please, don't make me go back!

0:50:320:50:34

Donna...

0:50:340:50:36

The best.

0:50:380:50:40

Goodbye.

0:50:440:50:45

No, no! No, please! Please, no!

0:50:450:50:48

No! No!

0:50:480:50:49

No!

0:50:560:50:58

And then of course she just goes back to a world where...

0:50:590:51:03

the...trivialities of life are all she cares about.

0:51:030:51:09

Don't mind me. Donna.

0:51:100:51:11

John Smith.

0:51:120:51:14

-Mr Smith was just living.

-My phone's gone mad -

0:51:140:51:16

32 texts, she's gonna barmy, she's saying, "Planets in the sky!" What have I missed now?!

0:51:160:51:21

Nice to meet you.

0:51:210:51:22

It's very tragic that that uncomplicated friendship has to end that way.

0:51:220:51:27

Not only does Donna...robbed of all the experiences that she'd had,

0:51:270:51:32

but the Doctor is robbed of his best mate.

0:51:320:51:34

How thick do you think I am?! Planets?!

0:51:340:51:37

I'll tell you what that was, Dumbo.

0:51:370:51:39

That's those two-for-one lagers you get down the offie cos you fancy that little man in there with the goatee.

0:51:390:51:44

Yes, you do!

0:51:440:51:46

-I've seen ya!

-Donna? I was just going.

0:51:460:51:48

Yeah, see ya.

0:51:480:51:50

When he's telling Wilfred and Sylvia that she can never remember,

0:51:500:51:54

but, you know...there are...universes on the other side of the sky

0:51:540:51:59

that are singing her praises, it's beautiful and heartbreaking.

0:51:590:52:03

I just want you to know that there are worlds out there

0:52:030:52:07

safe in the sky because of her,

0:52:070:52:09

that there are people living in the light

0:52:090:52:13

and singing songs of Donna Noble

0:52:130:52:18

a thousand million light-years away.

0:52:180:52:20

They will never forget her...

0:52:230:52:27

..while she can never remember.

0:52:270:52:29

How can we ever forget the Doctor's fantastic companions?

0:52:300:52:35

Let's have one last look at some of their greatest moments.

0:52:350:52:38

How long are you gonna stay with me?

0:52:380:52:41

Forever.

0:52:410:52:42

# You and I, we were one

0:52:420:52:44

# And I swore I'd stay forever

0:52:440:52:48

# But they say all good things come to an end... #

0:52:480:52:51

We were too late.

0:52:510:52:53

-# ..My friend... #

-I bloody love you!

0:52:530:52:56

# ..Now it's time to move on

0:52:560:52:58

# But don't think that this is easy

0:52:580:53:01

# Cos it's hard to be leaving you behind... #

0:53:010:53:06

I just wanna tell you you were fantastic.

0:53:060:53:08

# ..Oh So if you believe

0:53:110:53:15

# Say a prayer for me

0:53:150:53:18

# I won't be here tomorrow There's somewhere I gotta be... #

0:53:180:53:23

Come back!

0:53:230:53:26

# ..The things you want to say

0:53:260:53:27

# Save 'em for another day

0:53:270:53:31

# Cos I can hear the angels calling

0:53:310:53:35

# Angels calling for me... #

0:53:350:53:38

-Martha Jones, you saved the world.

-Yes, I did.

0:53:380:53:42

I spent a lot of time with you thinking I was second best, but do you know what? I am good.

0:53:420:53:47

Hmm.

0:53:470:53:49

Right, then. Bye.

0:53:500:53:53

# ..Oh So if you believe

0:53:560:54:00

# Say a prayer for me

0:54:000:54:04

# I won't be here tomorrow

0:54:040:54:07

# There's somewhere I've gotta be

0:54:070:54:10

# The things you want to say

0:54:100:54:12

# Save 'em for another day

0:54:120:54:16

# Cos I can hear the angels calling

0:54:160:54:20

# Angels calling for me... #

0:54:200:54:23

You had to go and fall in love with a human...that wasn't me.

0:54:230:54:28

Travelling with you...

0:54:280:54:31

I love it.

0:54:310:54:32

He's just...

0:54:320:54:34

dazzling!

0:54:340:54:35

# Oh So if you believe

0:54:410:54:46

0:54:570:55:01

# Cos I can hear the angels calling

0:55:010:55:05

# Angels calling for me... #

0:55:050:55:08

-Goodbye.

-No, no! No, please! Please, no! No! No!

0:55:080:55:13

# You and I We were one

0:55:130:55:16

# And I swore I'd stay forever

0:55:160:55:19

# But they say... #

0:55:190:55:20

-No!
