In the Trailer for the 'Doctor Who' 60th Anniversary Specials, Destiny Returns for Donna Noble
As a new era of Doctor Who dawns, the show's upcoming trio of 60th anniversary specials seems poised to revisit a key event from the series' past.
Look, most Whovians have never fully gotten over the fate of former Tenth Doctor companion Donna Noble (Catherine Tate), who had all her memories of the Doctor and their adventures together erased after the events of the Season 4 finale "Journey's End". She helped save the world but was forced to both forget everything she'd done and how crucial her very existence was to the universe at large, complete with dire threats of deathly consequences should she ever be reminded of her lost time. It was, quite frankly, a truly awful ending for one of Doctor Who's best characters.
Thankfully, it sounds as though neither destiny nor the Doctor is through with Donna Noble just yet. The 60th anniversary, which sees former Tenth Doctor David Tennant (Good Omens) return as a (allegedly) new incarnation of the Time Lord, and if the full trailer for the upcoming trio of specials if anything to go by, Donna's memories will be the key narrative driver of their story.
