The scene where 10th says he is leaving and donna says casually, "yeah" and goes on with her life is such an heartbreaking moment that gets me every time....

One of the saddest things ever to happen to Donna is in Turn Left. Donna is left hopeless, the only person she talks to is her own mother, and when Donna spoke her mother never replied except once. "I guess I've always been a disappointment, haven't I?" And her mum replies: "Yeah." That is the only thing she replies with and it tears my heart in two, I will always love Donna.

I loved Donna for a few reasons: 1. She wasn't in love with the Doctor. Their relationship was strictly platonic. 2. She called him out on things and saw his need for a companion right from the start. 3. I could relate to her. I mean, who wouldn't feel small in comparison to time and space? 4. She was as funny as she was emotional.

Russell's writing for her character was near perfection. Astonishing, her story was so beautiful yet so tragic. She will never be forgotten.

She said: I think you need someone to stop you. Of all the companions, she stood up to him. Only a best friend is brave enough to do that.

I still look back on that final scene from Series 4 with her, when her mother replied with "She still is. She's my daughter." and the Doctor got vicious for a moment with his reply, "Then maybe you should tell her that sometime." I never realized just how accurate that retort was, until now; Donna always insisted she was nothing special. But in the end, she saved the universe.

"I'll look out for you, sir." "You can't ever tell her!" "No no. But at night, Doctor, when it gets dark and the stars come out... I'll look up. On her behalf. I'll look at the sky, and think of you." " Thank you."

I really wish Donna met the 12th doctor. It would have been beautiful to see that face and have her know that he will never forget the life he saved and that nom setter what happens, he just has to save someone.

I know people who hated her cause she was "annoying" and "rude" but... She felt so much more real and human than any other character in the whole show (save for Wilf). Her mother was emotionally abusive, she lost her father, she had a shit job as a temp in a company that didn't give a damn about her.. She felt like so many people can't help but feel: small and unimportant and useless... until the doctor came and you really see what a difference he makes in her life. Suddenly she's the most important woman in the universe, whizzing about time and space saving planets and going on adventures having the time of her life. And then she's forced to forget all of it and go back to her miserable, worthless existence. It still breaks my heart to think about it...

Donna Noble forever gonna be my favorite companion. She's fantastic! I love this wonderful tribute for her ♥

Donna Noble, an inspiration to every single person who ever doubted themselves.

When Catherine Tate was first made a companion, there was outrage... She turned out to be the best.... she really was the most remarkable woman in creation.

“And then sometimes I see this look on her face, like she’s so sad, but she can’t remember why” That quote hurts every time

(For me) Donna was unquestionably the best companion of the 2005 series. She was incredible, she was passionate about doing whats right, she was hilarious at the best of times and she was the most important girl in the universe. The best parts of it all was that she pulled off such a brilliant storyline all without the element of romance between them (like majority of companions). Her ending was painful for me too see but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. So glad you did a Donna video, i absolutely love your stuff! Also, she was ginger, how could the doctor possibly resist.

Could you imagine her with Capaldi?? Would have been hilarious. She, aside from River who I don't really think of as a "companion", is my favorite. Haven't had one to top her yet.

I fell in love with Donna and was so invested in her. Even though she only had one season it felt like 5 because of the sheer amount of development she went through. Donna will always be my favourite companion, achieving in 1 season what others didn't in 3 (Amy Pond).

It's so heart renching when she says goodbye to the man who changed her life but doesn't realise it. It's a goodbye you toss around. A goodbye you don't think about. And it tears into the heart of the Doctor but he can't do anything about it.

"yea see ya" every god damn time

I really want her to come back. and not in a full episode where she remembers again, because that would overuse it and it probably wouldn't work again. but I just want her to come back randomly in an episode where the doctor is walking in the street with her current companions to go fight some alien invasion or something and then donna bumps into her and apologises, just carries on her day. and the doctor says sorry back before turning around and realising. and staring after her. and she stops in the street and stares after donna, who's probably chatting away on the phone, and then her current companions are like 'doctor? are you ok, who was that?' and the doctor replies, 'donna' and the companions, yaz or someone, says 'who's donna' and the doctor's like 'oh..someone brilliant,' still staring after her. before turning around and getting on with saving with the world.

All of Donna Noble because she wasn't the companion the Doctor wanted she was a companion he needed.

Donna and Martha have always been my top two. They're both badasses but I've always preferred Donna because she feels so worthless, yet she impacted the doctor's life so much. "You're the most important woman in the whole of creation" She's part human. The doctor Donna bit was just... Perfection

"and know this Doctor Donna, you will never be forgotten" HECC

the way she casually says bye at the end is heartbreaking

Donna was the most... human, relatable, perfectly imperfect companion, and provided great balance to the Doctor's character. My heart breaks for her fate in the show...

That's the most heartbreaking "Yeah, see ya" ever...

Donna was without a doubt my favourite companion. She gave the loneliest doctor, Ten, true companionship - something he hadn’t had in years, perhaps only in the Master. He believed in her and slowly but surely she started to believe in herself. She would stand up to him when she thought what he was doing was wrong, she treated him like anyone else and I think that was so important for him and his growth as an individual. I would argue that while Doomsday with Rose broke his heart, losing Donna was even worse. Not only did he have to strip her of her memories of him and their time together, but he also had to make her the same as she was before they met - the Donna that thinks she’s nothing, the Donna that thinks she’s stupid. When in reality she was one of the Doctor’s most cherished friends, if not THE most, and the most important woman in the entire universe. Her story was so tragic. She will never be forgotten.

As much as I love Moffat as a writer, Davies era of companions always felt the most real. They were just like us, usually a normal job, everyday problems (moaning parents, not much money, lonely), wasting life away thinking nothing is ever going to happen until they bump into the doctor, and slowly he makes them see just how special they really are. I loved Donna and the friendship she had with the doctor and was heartbroken to see her forget it all. At least Rose and Martha could remember and knew how important they were, whereas Donna believed for a moment, just a moment, that she was special and then had it ripped away.

She will forever be my favorite companion. May the universe never forget the name of Donna Noble.

Donna Noble, my favorite Doctor Who companion. I like how she was tough, compassionate, and not afraid to speak her mind. She reminded me a bit of Cordelia Chase. How Donna left the show will only fill me with a deep sadness. She deserved better than that. At least Clara got the opportunity to have adventures of her own before she has to embrace her tragic fate. Thanks for making this video.

Donna has been my favorite companion for a long time (though it's really hard to chose). I'm glad you showed a side of her I think some people forget.

Honestly, when I first got into Doctor Who, it was with Donna, and honestly as a young kid, Donna was the best. She was brash, outgoing, compassionate, funny, kind, and knew when to kick the doctor into doing something. I took so much of her into my own personality and I didn't even notice. I love Donna so much, her character is amazing. She was a flawed human being and I love it. Not to mention, she was strickly platonic with the Doctor, which made it even better.

She is my favourite companion and my heart breaks every time I think about her not remembering how brilliant she was. Thank you for doing this tribute to her. She was special.

Donna was important because she was there to stop the doctor and keep him in check when he was hurting for losing rose. Her importance, she was the rock he needed. Sometimes....even a hero needs a hero.

Do you hear that sound? It is the sound of my heart being broken again.

One thing I really loved about Donna and the Doctor is that their relationship was strictly platonic, but they still loved each other SO much. TV shows like to make romantic love the most powerful kind of love, but it's not. It's really not.

SO BEAUTIFUL! Donna's story is so tragic, it honestly kind of hurt seeing it played out in this.

Donna forgets everything in the end, it could be a good ending for doctor’s companions cuz he brings so much amazing things to them and they could not live without those exciting times. Back to routines, without memories of doctor may be the best choice. But still Donna and captain Jack remain doctor’s best friends. They are so brilliant!

Donna will forever be my favourite companion, her chemistry, albeit platonic, was the best I've ever seen in the show. She was such a relatable and fiery character, and her ending at the end of Series 4 still brings tears to my eyes.

I was rewatching her episodes recently and only now just released the audacity with which Sylvia tells The Doctor to leave when he brings Donna home after losing her memory, and just why. It wasn’t her normal audacity at him, like “wtf are you doing here, whenever you’re around there’s trouble get lost” but more of the fact that the whole time Donna was with him she’d been lying to her about where she’d been and the day Sylvia finds out the truth, is not only not from Donna but she can never even mention it to her own daughter. And is also the same day that’s the saddest day of her daughter’s life. So it’s way more emotional audacity than just “get out of here you”

3:44 Jesus. I never realised, whether intentional or not, how amazingly foreshadowing that line is.

As someone who has struggled with self-worth her entire life, Donna was always the most relatable to me and will always be my favourite companion

That hurts. Donna was my favourite companion...

This made me cry. I love how Donna and the Tenth Doctor never had any kind of romantic chemistry (aside from their "married couple" running joke). It was an entirely platonic relationship built on trust and respect. I adore Donna Noble, and I honestly couldn't pick my least favourite episode of that season.

Doctor Donna best companion ever i still miss you It's a shame you can't remember, but I will never forget you

Catherine is untouchable in doctor who.

Donna Noble is absolutely one of the best companions, because she was REAL. She was just like the rest of us, and showed it so many times. And in the end, she showed just how amazing she truly was. She may not have been my favorite companion, but if anyone dares to claim that she is not a good companion, they clearly don’t know anything about this show.

Two things. One: I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the "And Then, You Forgot" connection, thank you for including that Two: I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't include the bit where the Doctor talk about Donna "shouting at the world because [she] thinks no one can hear [her]"

Once again, so much pain. I miss Donna so much, and your video is PERFECT. Shows all her best moments, shows why she was wonderful, what she did for the Doctor, what she did for the universe--just brilliant. You're great at this. Gotta watch it again, brb!

honestly of all the companion's donnas story was the saddest, she went on all these amazing adventures with the doctor, they changed each others lives and then she forgot him and she forgot all the amazing things she did and saw.

Donna was incredible. She was such a good friend to doctor. At first we see only simple annoying woman but then her character opens so good. I honestly think her ending is the worst of all companions. Others at least had memories, and Donna... Nothing. It's heartbreaking. But I'm still happy that she existed.

This came into my feed after seeing the trailer for the new special with her and 10....and I damn near cried. Donna was truly one of THE best companians because of her impact on not only the doctor, but as he said, countless star systems. All the while not thinking she was worth any of it. She is truly the most relatable and heart felt to me. A woman who just wanted to see more of the universe and in turn be something more.

I actually started sobbing while watching this, I'm not even crazy into Doctor Who, but god damn this was beautiful

Donna is one of the best because she brought the best out of the doctor just by being a friend. No forced romance. Just a strong character who may be a big dim in the beginning but could bring out such good things in the doctor and get as much in return.

10 seconds in and it's already one of my favorites. Donna Noble is my favorite heartbreaking companion

Donna was the most important for one simple reason - compassion. She was there to ground the Doctor when he was almost lost to despair. Just being that person to make the loneliest person in all of creation not feel so lost, it can save someone's world. We take such things for granted, that shoulder to cry on, that voice of caring, that presence that just reminds you to hold onto something.

Oh, I can't hold my tears.. there won't be another like her.. i hate the fact that she can never come back.. my favorite companion.. miss u a lotttt...

Donna was and still is massively underrated, she didn’t deserve the ending that she got :( her and the doctor NEEDED eachother . They didn’t get enough time together in my opinion

Update: 11 years on and I'm still not okay after Journey's End

The silence be chopping onions...

Poor Donna, how wrong you are. You are very special. You hold the Doctor to account, you love him as a friend, you were there when the Doctor needed you after Rose, you love him whether he got it wrong or right, you support & protect him & you love him despite his flaws & you are proud of him no matter what. You are his rock when the Doctor needs one & you are his shelter when he needs it. You are a candle in the dark for him. Thank you Donna

Donna was the true companion.

this is soooo amazing. i wish donna could come back and remember the doctor without... well dieing. you are so amazing at editing and this video made me realise how much i loved donna.

I think the thing that made Donna unique was unlike the other companions in NewWho-Rose, Martha, the Ponds, Clara, Bill- she wasn't really clever in the standard sense. She didn't keep up with the Doctor in that unrealistic way the other companions did, or we as Whovians did, she just acted like a normal person which made her more relatable. Underneath the loudmouthed sassy passionate persona was someone that didn't realize that being normal doesn't mean you're not special. Being special comes with experience. Take the Doctor, he was the TimeLord equivalent of a college dropout, and with experience became the stuff of legend. In the end that's why this show is so relatable: it shows normal people becoming something more and better

Rip my heart out and stomp on it why don't you, nothing will ever beat season 4

It could’ve been so easy for RTD to make Donna a one off funny guest star who cracked a few jokes and never appeared again. But instead he shaped one of the most memorable and important characters in Doctor Who canon. Other then Rose, Donna is my favourite companion.

One of my favourite companions in new who as well as this being a great tribute there couldn't have been a more better song choice

She made a story of her life and she will never forget how brave and important she was. In the final parte when she says "Yeah, see ya" we can see that Donna will never remember the Doctor, and the Doctor will never forget Donna.

Ohhhh that's a cruel way to end the video. Donna is absolutely the most important person in the universe. I love her relationship with the Doctor, her sass, and her conviction to save people.

Ah shred my heart to pieces why don't you... I love Donna so much. She was brilliant - and her ending is somehow still the saddest of them all. They will never forget her, but she can never remember... Ugh my heart. Dx

Love her story so much even though it’s so sad. Also I love how even in the latest series she sneaks herself in as a metaphor for Clara’s ending and the 12th doctors realisations that he CAN save people and he sometimes needs to be stopped. I wonder if we will see more of her influence later on

Turn Left is my 2nd favorite episode behind The Girl In the Fireplace. This was wonderfully put together, thank you for this!

I'm sorry but I cant stop watching this. The melody works so well with the voices - so amazing. I literally cannot stop watching this.

OMG, this made me miss Donna again!!! My poor heart! She was the best companion in my opinion,so THANK you for this! :D

You did It again... Where are the f****** tissues!?!!

I relate to her sooo much even today Being surrounded by so many successful people and you are no one When she said oh don't I felt that I wanna hug her and talk to her about every thing she had gone through

"yeah, see you" I'm not crying... I'm not crying... I'm not...

The most beautiful video for Donna Noble! I have ever seen. The Doctor Donna!

When it was announced the Catherine Tate would be the new companion I was horrified. I thought her overbearing, bombastic attitude would dominate the show, and was expecting a decline in my enjoyment. By season's end, I was devastated she was leaving. Without a single shred of doubt, the best companion of the revived Who. Her character development was done so brilliantly. And as the main character in Turn Left, left no doubt her acting was as good as it gets. Turn left will remain my favourite episode, just for her sublime acting. And honourable mention to the scene in Fires of Pompeii, "That's the choice Donna, it's Pompeii or the world." Her change of demeanour at that point, and understanding of exactly what being the Doctor actually means, brilliant! At the end, to see her being the bombastic, overbearing Donna again was to reinforce why I still hold her up as how a companion should be. Well done Catherine, and we will never forget the most important woman in the universe, Donna Noble.

100% the saddest companion ending.

Is it possible to love content and hate it at the same time? I love the content, brings back some of my favorite memories. Then I hate it because it makes me feel all mushy inside. Great job!

Thanks for making me cry. Donna is my favorite companion and it is tragic and wonderful, exciting and heartbreaking.

DONNA NOBLE IS THE MOST UNDERRATED CHARACTER IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

I loved Donna her ending still makes me sad. At least with the Tennant specials we know she marries and is happy. But still I wish she could remember the doctor and all the amazing things she got to see and do.

This is heartbreaking. The way you edited this, paired with the music and the timing, just wells up so many emotions. Beautiful. Donna Noble, you are so important and so very special. You are loved and unforgettable. And I hope that you re-learn that and never forget it ever again.

When I watched The Runaway Bride I already knew Donna was going to be a companion later, and I dreaded that moment. She became my favourite companion in the RTD era.

I got seconds in and I needed to pause to prepare myself. Yup, constant blobby tears. I love Donna. There's just no way she's not out there right now, the Doctor Donna, with her big beautiful heart, mind, and kind soul. Every part of her is too clever to not have fought through and found a solution herself, especially when we think about how freaking often that firewall would go off. *shivers* There's a dark but hope filled headcanon I have surrounding that. Anyways, this was so perfect and moving. Thank you!

She will always be my favorite and I will forever cry for her. I relate to her the most, she’s so much more than what she presents to be at first. So layered and getting to know the different sides of her and how big her heart really is. Yes the doctor made a huge impact in her life but the same could be said the other way around. She saved him in more ways than she knew, she saw what he needed and she wasn’t shy to give it to him straight and unfiltered. She wasn’t a companion, she was his equal, she provided what he lacked. Yes he is so much more intelligent than her but she was more perceptive, understanding and compassionate. She was clever and very insightful. I loved their relationship they were the best of friends and they complemented each other well. I always admired that despite her believing she was nothing, she commanded her presence. She was not easily ignored and she was headstrong

Donna Noble, the most special person in the whole universe, and always miss eveything. Crying for how she ended. Could share this video on bilibili (a Chinese video website)? Really love this fantastic work!

This was great, didnt expect to cry but it really is a shame Donna ended up in a pretty broken state and it also weighed heavily on Wilf. I hope we get to see her healed and whole again.

It’s so heartbreaking that she’ll never return or even remember what she did

*screaming and crying* She's unquestionably the most important and powerful companion to me, because she and the doctor change each other SO drastically and help each other to grow.

I've cried for Donna Noble time and time again, and I've just cried again. Seriously the best companion, she will always have a special place in my heart and this was fantastic!

I saw this in my recommendations and immediately I teared up. Her story was the saddest one. She just wanted to travel the universe and be with the doctor, as real companions. At the end, she eventually believed that she was special, she knew she was important. But then she had to forget everything she had done for the universe. After all, she still thinks she's nothing special, even though she saved the universe. Donna deserved better.

One of the things that hurt the most was when I was reminded of Donna Noble when the 12th was going to wipe the memories from Bill and she stopped him for a moment and said, "But Imagine, Just Imagine how it would feel if someone did this to you!" That was both a foreshadowing of the time that the Dr brought Clara back to life and the time in his past when he had to erase Donna Noble's memories.

Donna's self doubt really, really hit me hard. Catherine Tate is a fabulous actress, and I loved her character. Broke my heart when she forgets, and Wilfred gets upset because she was better in herself when she was with the Doctor.

God, Donna's protests before loosing her memory just makes me cry, she's just begging, and the doctor has to 😭😭😭😭 I can't wait to see her again ❤

Great work. I loved Donna. She was so special and this expresses that with beauty and honor. Who says we haven’t had iconic women in sci-fi? Donna is one of a long list of amazing characters.

Another incredible upload. You keep killing me over here 😭💖

Oh...wow, the bit when Dr. Moon tells Donna "and then you forgot", that's insanely early foreshadowing of her arc.
