mizgnomer: Behind the Scenes of Partners in Crime - Part 9 From a Radio Times interview with David Tennant and Catherine Tate (5-11 April 2008) Radio Times: Is Donna as mouthy as before?Catherine Tate: Everyone assumed she was a one-off - myself included - but now she has a whole season to have a story arc. So none of the feistiness has been lost, but you also get to tap into a different side of her - a much more vulnerable side. She experiences all the things she sees in a very human way. So there are episodes where she lands on a planet, sees an alien, and just goes, “Oh my God!”David Tennant: She keeps his feet on the ground a bit. She probably challenges him a bit more. The Doctor had a slight tendency to be a little…Catherine Tate: Pompous?David Tennant: Pompous! [Laughs] But she cuts though that.Radio Times: Does Donna bring out a different side of the Doctor?David Tennant: I think they’re good for each other. They’re good at limiting each other’s less appealing excesses. There is an equality. It’s not quite teacher-and-pupil, which in a sense the Doctor and Martha and the Doctor and Rose were. There’s an ease with each other. Link to [ part one ] of the Partners in Crime Behind-the-scenes posts, or click the #whoBtsPartners tag, or the full episode list [ here ] -- source link
