FINALLY got around to starting on series 3 today and was greeted with The Runaway Bride. An absolutely **** tale and much better than the first christmas special, but I was a bit dissapointed to see the santa people and christmas trees back. They could have been a bit more inventive. I am probably going to ruffle some feathers here now but I didnt think much of Donna tbh. Her last ten minutes were really nice, but she was a bit shouty and controling for my liking. Not sure how I will cope with a season of that and it kinda makes me surprised that so many people vote her the best. Not bad though and I am going to do Smith & Jones later this evening

On watching that story I think most fans felt the same way as you do, but believe me your opinion will change, as will the character

The runaway Bride is difficult to watch at times because Donna is basically a boot, but I guarantee that within about 10 minutes of series 4 you'll be won over * * - no cash alternative offered in event of non-agreement

Only just seen The Runaway Bride? And yet to see series 4? My aren't you in for a treat when you eventually get there I loved Donna from the onset because of the dynamic between herself and 10 - so very different to Rose and as you will see with Martha ( bless her )- it was what gave Catherine Tate series 4 on a plate. ( She wasn't available for series 3)

She seems to be popular around here, and everywhere, so I just didnt expect what I saw in TRB, but I am still very excited to see the changes and a full series of interaction with Ten. Im also looking forward to Martha Jones. I read her appreciation thread and people seem to think she was great but got a rough ride. Should be an interesting few days while I watch

Only saw Runaway Bride the first time round; hated it. Must watch again at some point though.

This one gets a four from me. It introduced Donna, who is just amazing, even if she wasn't so brilliant in this. I really didn't like her the first time I saw this, but watching again after series 4 makes it so much better. It lost a mark because seeing the Christmas trees and santas again felt a bit of a cop out and killing the spider children is perhaps a bit heavy for Christmas.

I gave this one a four. I thought it was a strong story but I think it was a shame that they reused so many elements from the first special. It might it seem like a sequel of sorts but didn't really make sense given the fact that the rest of the story was so different

I gave this a three. I like it, but Donna isn't as great as she eventually turned out to be and some of the story is a bit naff, but its not too bad

I love Donna but she drove me nuts in this. The story was ok, but it could have been so much better. 2 from me

I give it a low three. The Racnoss acting wasn't too great, but the story wasn't terrible. Just ok. Plus I like Donna, even if she was a little insensitive on this one for my tastes. She mellows out.

Sorry, but Donna annoyed me throughout her entire tenure. Good they tried something a bit different to more sycophantic companions, but she was just too strident.
