Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Catherine Tate

Donna was first introduced in the 2006 Christmas Episode "The Runaway Bride".

This episode explores the decisions Donna made which led her to meet the Doctor and the very serious consequences of that never happening.

2. The Doctor and Donna are exploring a marketplace on an alien planet called Shan Shen. Whilst Donna is on her own she is persuaded to enter a fortune tellers tent. The fortune teller asks Donna about how she met the Doctor and attaches something to her back which changes and distorts the past. What does she attach?

Answer: A beetle

The fortune teller finds out that Donna's decision to work at a city company called H.C Clements led to her meeting the Doctor.
Because of the influence of the beetle she decides to work for a friend of the family instead and her life, as well as the world, is changed.

3. So Donna turns right instead of left and changes the past. What is the first *noticeable* result of this?

Answer: The Doctor dies

In the episode "The Runaway Bride," Donna persuaded the Doctor to escape the pit under the Thames River. Because she decides to take a different job she isn't there to save him and he drowns.

4. Donna overhears a soldier who says that the Doctor has died but this doesn't mean anything to her as she doesn't know who he is. A former companion of the Doctor makes a surprise appearance and asks Donna what happened. Which companion made a re-appearance in this episode?

Answer: Rose Tyler

Rose starts to run past Donna but stops and asks her what has happened. Donna explains that someone called The Doctor has died. Rose seems to be looking at something behind Donna who gets angry and asks what she is looking at. When she turns away for a moment, Rose disappears.

Answer: Royal Hope Hospital has disappeared

This event relates to the first episode of the third series, "Smith and Jones". The hospital was actually moved to the moon to be searched by the Judoon.
Because the Doctor was not there to help almost everyone in the hospital was dead by the time the hospital was returned to Earth including Martha Jones and Sarah Jane Smith.

6. Donna is visited again by a former companion of the Doctor. She is persuaded to leave the city for a weekend with her family at Christmas. There is a good reason for this; what is it?

Answer: The Titanic crashes into Buckingham Palace

The Titanic crashing, which was averted by the Doctor in the 2007 Christmas episode "Voyage of the Damned", causes widespread damage and fatalities. Millions of people are left homeless and conditions become difficult for everyone.
The excellent Bernard Cribbins who plays the character of Donna's grandfather, Wilfred Mott, appeared in the original "Voyage of the Damned" episode selling papers in the street.

7. As a result of the Titanic crashing into London there has been a radiation leak and millions of people become refugees trying to find a home and jobs somewhere else in the country. Donna wants to go to Glasgow as she has heard there are jobs available. Where is she actually placed?

Answer: Leeds

Donna and her family are moved to small house in a terraced street in Leeds which they have to share with other families. The room they can now call home is the kitchen.

Answer: Three weeks

Rose tells her to watch the sky with her grandfather and she'll be persuaded to go with her. She warns her however that it will mean her death.

9. A short time later Donna and Wilfred are looking through his telescope and realise that the stars have begun to disappear from the sky. Donna realises that she has to do whatever necessary to help. The mysterious former companion of the Doctor appears and takes her to a military location where the TARDIS is currently based. She is transported back in time to the day she made the decision not to accept a job at H.C Clements. She has to find a way to make herself turn which direction?

Answer: Left

Donna has to stop her past self from turning right at the junction. She is transported much further out than she needs to be and knows that she will not be able to run fast enough to reach the car in time.
She walks in front of a lorry to ensure that the road is blocked which will then stop her past self from being able to travel in that direction.

10. After being hit by a truck Donna is lying in the street. She is aware of the mysterious woman coming to her and whispering in her ear. When Donna is back in the marketplace, she struggles to remember what happened as it is fading like a dream. She remembers a message whispered to her in the road and she tells the Doctor. What is the message?

Answer: "Bad wolf"

The Doctor is shocked and runs outside of the tent. All around the marketplace the words "Bad Wolf" are displayed.
Back in the TARDIS Donna asks what Bad Wolf means and the Doctor tells her that it is the end of the universe.
