The news that Catherine Tate is to reprise her role as outspoken chav bride Donna as the new companion for the Doctor has no doubt been greeted with skepticism and derision amongst online fandom, but I for one think it's an excellent idea.

I've never been a fan of the entire "companion in love with the Doctor" character themes that have come to represent the current era of Doctor Who. It makes perfect sense but damnit Doctor Who is an adventure story, not a love story. Then when it came to creating Martha Jones, the only thing the production team could do with that concept would be to have an unrequited love story following the requited love story. Aside from that element, Martha and Rose could be identical.

(small spoilers for the season finale ahead) )
