Warning: Spoilers
Anyone who thought Donna would just be a comedy companion will be eating their words after this episode, because Catherine Tate who plays her carries a lot of the drama here.

It's a good episode, asking lots of questions about the decisions The Doctor makes, and how right/wrong they are.

Some nice examples of gentle comedy along the way too.

Fans also get appearances from Peter Capaldi (a future Doctor) who exhibits more of a sense of fun here than he would do in the lead role, and Karen Gillian (a future companion) too.

A good episode.
