The fun begins anew!
Written by Russell T. Davies Directed by Euros Lyn
As Donna is about to marry her boyfriend Lance on Christmas Eve, she suddenly finds herself on board the TARDIS. As the Doctor tries to get Donna to the church on time, the alien Empress of the Racnoss watches closely from the throne in her spaceship above.
How is Donna the key to an ancient plot to destroy the Earth? With time running out, can the Doctor solve the puzzle, defeat the Empress and stop her army of robot santas?

I love that scene when the TARDIS is flying alongside the taxi and the kids are watching and cheering them on. Fun music, too. Kind of has an old-fashioned feel to it.

The Empress is so over the top, with the snarling, and the teeth and the German accent. "Eat you up all snicker snacker. Little traveling man." Yeah, you and me both.

Donna is very .... normal looking. Rose was too, of course.
Martha (next ep) is quite a looker and also much further up the education ladder.
I'm not familiar with earlier seasons so I don't know how they compare with earlier companions.

What IS it with automatons and Christmas on Earth? And also...women being collected by alien robots for nefarious purposes, in general? To be more specific, though...why doesn't Santa Robot want Donna to get married?

I sorta wondered why he didn't just materialize around the cab...but I guess the TARDIS wasn't working properly? Or he didn't want Scary Santa on board?

Doctor 9 saw the end of the Earth; Doctor 10 went back to see the beginning. Not sure I'm okay with the Earth being one huge spider nest, though.

Part I
Opening out onto the void. Why would you even be able to do that?
Donna.
You're human? Yeah, is that optional? It is with me.
Rose's clothes.
The TARDIS is digesting?
Donna sees the inside of the TARDIS first, then the outside.
Christmas Eve.
The Doctor stole money from the guy's account? And he's betting that the camera's aren't going to see him messing with the machine.
Evil Santa Claus's?
What the hell is going on?
And this music is a little much, isn't it?
Trust me. Is that what you said to her, your friend?

The TARDIS needs to rest after doing the flying thing.
Bio-damper.

The Doctor will talk about Rose, but he won't talk about Rose.
She pushed Lance into marrying her.
Partying without her. Ouch.
Lance is sweet on Blond chick.
Torchwood. dun Dun DUN!

Part IV
Last of your kind. Like the Doctor.
This monster is not half bad looking.
Lance is a bad guy. And he was poisoning her. So he was playing her when she was insisting on getting married.
This time, it's personnel *groan*

Part V
4.6 million years. To the creation of the Earth. Pretty.
The Human race- make sense out of chaos.
The process is beautiful, but only if it's being observed.
the Rachnos ship forms the Earth's core?
