I’ve been waiting for this episode for ages. Rose is finally coming back!
46s Looks like some kind of intergalactic China town. Ah, refreshing space cappuccino!
1m15s Free readings for red hair? Think I’ll get mine dyed then…
1m48s Why does she want to know her past? She’s a bit creepy.
2m26s Now there’s a flashback! And what’s come through the door?
2m50s Donna’s mum! Time for an argument?!
3m30s Ah, I see where this is going… I think..!
3m52s City executives don’t need temps except for practice!
4m23s There’s something on her back!
5m05s She’s turning right! Nooo!
5m45s Christmas again. Russell can’t resist his tinsel and baubles!
6m10s Donna’s out on the town splashing the cash!
6m40s That creepy insect noise again and it’s spooked her friend out. She’s seen something on Donna…
7m12s Ken Livingstone must have some massive budget for the decorations!
7m50s Donna shouldn’t be there, she should be with The Doctor.
8m14s That tank driver didn’t say anything about Saxon giving orders to fire…
8m55s The Doctor’s dead!
9m24s And now Rose is back! I could swear she’s not changed her clothes in two years!
10m She’s looking at Donna’s shoulder.
And then she’s vanished.
10m50s Oh, now Donna’s lost another job! No staying power! We love an office domestic!
11m28s Juddoon on the moon? The hospital’s gone!
12m10s What an amazing leaving speech, she’s got some bile!
12m40s Wilf’s talking about aliens again… The Doctor dead, now Martha.
13m40s No, not Sarah Jane! They’re all dead!
14m50s Rose is back again. Same outfit! And she’s looking at her shoulder again. Donna can’t see it but it looks like Rose can.
15m40s She’s telling her to get out of London for Christmas. Donna’s getting a bit freaked out.
And Rose is off again.
16m23s Nice antlers Wilf!
18m10s Breakfast is served. The maid’s seen something on Donna’s back. There’s something on TV. It’s the Titanic! And the Doctor’s not there to stop it!
18m 52s It’s gone nuclear! There’s a lot of people dying in this with no Doctor.
19m30s Leeds or nothing? Leeds isn’t that bad, I like Leeds!
20m Actually, it looks like Leeds but I’ll bet it’s Cardiff!
20m35s The Noble mouth is off again. Wilf’s the only one that’s keeping her in check.
22m50s Cooker to keep warm and fridge to keep cool… compact and bijou then!
22m20s Looks like everyone’s started to give up.
22m50s America’s being Adiposed! Must make a sizeable feast.
23m40s The bees disappearing. What does it mean? They keep mentioning it.
24m30s Wilf can’t resist a sea shanty. Check out that Bernard Cribbins album and you’ll know what I mean!
25m20s Atmos and now the soldier’s seen someone on Donna’s back. Why can only some people see it?
25m50s Rose again. She can’t keep away. Like some intergalactic teleporting yo-yo.
26m45s Now Torchwood are dead. No more Ianto Gwen or Jack.
26m50s Now Torchwood are dead. No more Ianto Gwen or Jack.
27m20s She’s trying to remind Donna about The Doctor.
27m45s Nice bit of red spider action. Donna did save The Doctor.
28m20s The Darkness is coming and no-one can stop it.
Wow. This is the best script yet. Amazing. Stunning performances!
29m32s No! Donna’s going to die!
30m53s Ugh. Labour camps. It’s happening again. Everything’s being pulled apart, the whole of Donna’s world.
32m This is so funereal. Everyone’s given up hope.
33m 17s What’s up with Wilf’s telescope? The stars! The stars are going out!!! The darkness is coming!
33m56 So Rose is with UNIT…
The TARDIS!
What’s Donna needed for?
34m55s Donna gets to be shocked by the TARDIS a second time. First time I think she’s been properly speechless!
35m35s Poor TARDIS, it looks lonely.
36m25s She’s going to see what’s on her back…
37m07 UGH! It’s a great big clacking beetle!
37m38s Ah, it’s the beetle that’s changed things…
38m40s So Donna’s got something about her too, it’s not just the beetle.
39m 45s Time for a bit of time travel. Looks like a highly dubious setup, I certainly wouldn’t trust it!
40m35s They don’t know it’s going to work! Brave face, Donna!
41s The TARDIS has woken up!
451m 20s Donna’s going to change things back. She’s not going to die!
41m37s Rose is being a bit reticent…
41m55s And she’s of with her beetle.
42m38s She’s landed in the wrong place! Typical TARDIS transport!
Four minutes to stop herself! She’s not going to make it!
43m12s You’d have though she’d be a bit fitter! Still, she’s not had all the running around with The Doctor.
44m20s No! Not the truck! In series one wasn’t it a yellow truck that opened the TARDIS and helped Rose save The Doctor? Now it’s a blue truck…
44m47s Donna’s dead!
What two words?!
45m20s And she’s turned left! Everything’s going back to normal!
45m30s Bye bye insect face! Talking of which, isn’t the fortune teller Chanto, Professor Yana’s (aka The Master) sidekick? Much better without the blue antennae!
What’s she going on about? What’s happened to Donna? What will she be?
45m45s The Doctor’s back! Big hugs all round.
I hope they do toy versions of the beetle. So you can go around and stick them on people’s backs! Or howsabout insect rucksacks?!
46m40s The Doctor’s noticing something about Donna. This must be what Rose was referring to…
47m24s The Doctor’s looking deadly serious.
47m48s Those two words! BAD WOLF!
48m04s It’s everywhere! Even on the TARDIS!
48m20s No! Not the cloister bell! The end of the universe!
48m59s Wow! What a climax! I can’t wait for next week!
Well, that was pretty bloody exciting. The trailer for next week looks unbelievable as well.
And I was right about Turn Left being like It’s A Wonderful Life… although it probably had more incommon with Sliding Doors and Smoking/No Smoking.
Wow. Better Dr Lite story than Love and Monsters. As good as Blink? Perhaps not. Amazing, tho I wish they’d done the 3-companions episode that was rumoured - I not seen a story not improved by Lovely Martha. (well except Doctors Daughter maybe).
Still, a whole lotta bleakness
Great epsiode but that beetle thingy was ridiculous. Looked like some god awful prop from the 1970s. Have these people not heard of CGI?
Dug out that Bernard Cribbins Sea Shanty on Last FM.
Enjoy!
Dude, great synopsis but you need to get out!!!
I have to admit that the mention of Bad Wolf did set my hair on end (every time I watch the eps. x3 now! and no…I don’t get out)
Can’t wait for Saturday now, been watching the trailers on http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/news/latest/080621_news_01
I just love the way the writers have knitted story lines from different eps over the last 4 series.
As for the bug on the back…I’d by that as a back pack.
