It was to be the final episode overseen by producer Phil Collinson, and was also to be the last series finale for Russell T Davies and Julie Gardener who had both announced they would also be leaving the show after a series of specials. As a result Davies wanted the two part finale to tie up many elements of his time on the show.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The original plan was for the Doctor and his companion Penny, Catherine Tate hadn't been recast as Donna at this point, to be joined by Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Captain Jack Harkness, Sarah Jane Smith and Love & Monsters character Elton Pope. Davies was also thinking of cameos from Mickey Smith and Jackie Tyler and hoped that Catherine Tate may return to reprise her role as Donna Noble, although he doubted that Tate would be able to due to her work schedule.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Davies wanted the villains of the piece to be the Daleks and their evil creator Davros. Although the Daleks had appeared in several New Who stories, Davros had only been referenced and had not actually appeared on screen since 1988's Remembrance Of The Daleks.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To incorporate appearances from some of the series' best loved characters in to the episode Davies planned to include an intergalactic conference on a space station. This would provide an excellent platform for fans to see the return of many creatures including the Slitheen, The Krillitane and the Judoon.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />By the summer of 2007 Davies plans were changing. To his surprise and delight, Catherine Tate had agreed to come back to the show and reprise her role as Donna Noble full time. She was set to appear in the entire 2008 run and the finale would see her swan song.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Davies also changed his mind about the return of Elton Pope and instead started to toy with the idea of bringing back Midshipman Frame played by Russel Tovey, last seen in the 2007 Christmas Special, Voyage Of The Damned. The idea was that he would be reintroduced as a secret agent of the Shadow Proclamation, a top secret organisation which had been referenced as far back as the Series One opener, Rose.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />In August 2007, Billie Piper told bosses that she would be unable to film her scenes in January 2008 as she would be away on her honeymoon, following her New Year's Eve wedding to Lewis actor, Laurence Fox.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was a massive blow to the production team as it was conflicting with all of their plans for filming.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Davies quickly had to start ammending the plot and reducing Rose's appearances in the finale. The result was a short parallel earth beach scene with Rose and the 'Doctors' and Mickey and Jackie were eliminated from the episodes. Fortunately Julie Gardener managed to rearrange the series shooting schedules around Piper's holiday plans and filming for the finale could instead begin in February 2008. However a result of this was that the episodes original director, Euros Lyn, was moved to work on Silence Of The Library and Forest Of The Dead. Instead Graeme Harper would direct the finale, starting work on them immediately after concluding Turn Left.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />In December 2007 Davies began work on the scripts, at this point he decided to include characters from the Doctor Who spin offs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. Torchwood's Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones and The Sarah Jane Adventures' Luke, K-9 and Mr Smith were all to make cameo appearances, as would Francine Jones, Martha's mother.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />At this stage Davies was still working on the storyline revolving around Russel Tovey's character, Midshipman Frame. He was to meet up with the Doctor and Donna when they visited the Shadow Proclamation and would help them to communicate. He would then join the Doctor on board the TARDIS and travel on board the Crucible, were he would be exterminated by the Daleks. This was to allow a character to be killed by the Daleks without Davies having to gt rid of any of the series regulars.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However the plans had to be scrapped when Tovey revealed that he was unable to join the cast due to prior work commitments.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />So Davies set about thinking of another character who could return and be sacrificed before the Daleks. Gardener and Collinson both requested the return of Harriet Jones, the former UK Prime Minister, who had last been seen in The Christmas Invasion back in 2005. It was not certain that Penelope Wilton, who played Harriet, would be available and so Davies also drafted in Voyage Of The Damned's Mr Copper, played by Clive Swift. But fate was eventually smiling on Davies and Wilton happily confirmed that she could return and would be available for filming.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIXwKqdPQ9aVy731UdbQ3BQYVEx7iipUAQ09qbJ5Ryunr9Vnx_64KV_IWNxTMnGrftihCkQl6UNzPsz-By4BXaZqSxQPJ3F15Rsu3h0RkiO2cmZkrXrKVlPtOB8ANTt3LteRZOqT2troM/s1600/STOLENEARTHSET_(8).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIXwKqdPQ9aVy731UdbQ3BQYVEx7iipUAQ09qbJ5Ryunr9Vnx_64KV_IWNxTMnGrftihCkQl6UNzPsz-By4BXaZqSxQPJ3F15Rsu3h0RkiO2cmZkrXrKVlPtOB8ANTt3LteRZOqT2troM/s640/STOLENEARTHSET_(8).jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />There were lots of different plot threads that needed tying up in the series finale. Firstly there was the return of Rose Tyler. Viewers had been catching glimpses of the former companion throughout the 2008 series as she tried to get in touch with the Doctor and his current companion Donna Noble.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then there was the missing worlds. Several episodes had referenced this phenomenon; Adipose 3 (Partners In Crime), Pyrovillia (The Fires Of Pompeii), and the Lost Moon Of Poosh (Midnight).</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The eventual twenty-seven worlds captured by the Daleks was a big increase from Davies' original plan in which only six planets had been captured and then there was Earth's missing bumblebees referenced in The Unicorn And The Wasp, Partners In Crime, Planet Of The Ood and Turn Left.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />As the deadlines loomed at the end of 2007 Davies became aware that his director, Graeme Harper, would need to see both scripts. Working flat out to finish, he had to cancel attending Billie Piper's wedding to give himself more time to work on the scripts.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Davies finally finished his first draft in the small hours of New Year's Eve morning. The script included a scene, suggested by Wilfred Mott actor Bernard Cribbins, in which Wilf attempts to blind a Dalek with a paint gun.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Davies began writing the script for the second part of the series finale, Journey's End, on 11th January 2008. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As he began work Davies began to get worried that he wouldn't be able to wrap the story up in the allotted 50 minutes slot. He began to wonder if he should cut some scenes from the episodes, specifically those centred around the Torchwood crew and Sarah Jane. Davies discussed the dilemma with Gardener and on the 19th January Gardener managed to get Jane Tranter to extend the episode's running time by ten minutes, making it the longest regular episode of the series. Davies finally finished the draft for the episode on 22nd January 2008.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />A few changes had to be made to the original drafts of The Stolen Earth and Journey's End in the lead up to production beginning, these were mostly due to budget.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The scenes of the Shadow Proclamation were drastically cut, the scene had grown in the draft and was to include a plethora of characters now also including the Vespiform and an adult sized Adipose, but due to budget restraints only the Judoon ended up staying. However Davies kept the idea on board and decided to use it for the final episodes of Tennant's era instead.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The scenes being cut meant that audio, already recorded by Annette Badland, as Margaret the Slitheen, had to be dropped. Other scenes dropped included a lengthy flashback to Davros' younger years on Skaro, experiments on Kaled soldiers and scenes of the explosion which had disfigured him.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2m96vfjrAEegEXe7-8mlLLDrx1aIIw2o80yDwzsiCUu1b0ofMN5ge5a_T-ciSx0N3zycFK7dIhESZyBtQLe7pGD1ZmFaK90ve2I2_lRLk-IOOfiuDAur0mIr3J3VVzAscZPF20CNkBA/s1600/STOLENEARTHSET_(13).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2m96vfjrAEegEXe7-8mlLLDrx1aIIw2o80yDwzsiCUu1b0ofMN5ge5a_T-ciSx0N3zycFK7dIhESZyBtQLe7pGD1ZmFaK90ve2I2_lRLk-IOOfiuDAur0mIr3J3VVzAscZPF20CNkBA/s640/STOLENEARTHSET_(13).jpg" width="532" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On 31st January 2008 filming for the two parter, The Stolen Earth / Journey's End, began when scenes of newsreaders were shot at BBC Broadcasting House in Cardiff.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shooting with the main cast began on 18th February at the Upper Boat Studios. Scenes in the TARDIS were filmed on the first day and then the scenes within the Torchwood Hub were shot on the 19th to the 21st. On the 22nd scenes were recorded in both the TARDIS and the Hub. Further shots in the TARDIS were completed on the 25th February.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the 26th and 27th the cast and crew went out on location to the Noble's family home and shot scenes at Nant Fawr Road in Cardiff.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then it was back to Upper Boat on the 28th and 29th were yet more scenes in the TARDIS were shot.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From on the 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th March scenes on board the Dalek's Crucible were shot at Upper Boat.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 5th March saw David Tennant, Catherine Tate and Billie Piper working on location at 'Bad Wolf Bay' - Southerndown Beach, near Bridgend.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the 8th March the filming moved to Cardiff University's School of Optometry which was used as the location for the Shadow Proclamation headquarters. And on 10th and 11th March the final scenes on board the Dalek Crucible were completed at Upper Boat.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 11th also saw the scenes of the Doctor and Donna arriving in the TARDIS and Rose arriving back on Earth filmed in Tonteg.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On 12th March shots outside the Noble's home were recorded as well as scenes of Rose visiting the looted computer shop, Megabyte City, which was actually Computer Wales in Pontrypridd.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the night of 13th March  various scenes of the streets of 'London' were recorded in Penarth, this included the scene were the Doctor and Rose are reunited, only for him to be shot down by a Dalek as he rushes to embrace her. These scenes were completed in Cardiff on the 14th.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 14th also saw scenes of the German Castle visited by Martha Jones shot at  Castell Coch in Tongwynlais. The 16th saw the Traffic Management Centre in Cardiff pose as the New York base of UNIT whilst shots of the Reality Bomb Test were recorded at a disused warehouse, Alpha Steel, in Newport.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The 18th March saw scenes at Harriet Jones' cottage recorded at Lower House Barn in Dinas Powys, whilst more shots of the exterior of the German castle were recorded at Castell Coch.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 19th saw the scene of the Doctor returning Jack, Mickey, Sarah Jane and Martha to Earth shot at Morgan Jones Park in Caerphilly, whilst the scene of Martha being teleported away from UNIT HQ was recorded at the Wales Museum Collection Centre at Parc Nantgarw.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the 20th and 21st March it was back to the the Upper Boat Studios with further scenes in the TARDIS, including the Christmas Special cliffhanger shot as well as more scenes on the Dalek Crucible. </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">These scenes marked Catherine Tate's last day on the Doctor Who set, although Catherine has since said that despite rumours to the contrary she would have loved to have stayed on the show until David Tennant left and would have remained on the show if asked. </span>The day was also the last for Producer Phil Collinson who was leaving show to work on Coronation Street.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the 24th March it was back to work on the set of the Crucible at Upper Boat and on the 25th and 26th filming was on location at two homes in Penarth to record scenes at Francine Jones' house and Sarah Jane Smith's.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On 27th 29th March it was back to work at Upperboat for scenes in Sarah Jane's attic and at the Osterhagen HQ as well as various insert shots.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On 28th March Richard Dawkins celebrity cameo was recorded, the 31st saw Paul O'Grady record his cameo at the London Studios.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As the filming for the Christmas Special was to be brought forward Davies decided that he would not need the traditional cliffhanger at the end of Journey's End, as by the time it aired The Next Doctor would have already have been filmed as so a normal preview<span style="background-color: white;"> could be used instead.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He decided to cut the final cliffhanger scene in the TARDIS were a Cyberman would loom behind the Doctor as he leaves Donna's home and so a new final scene was written quickly and filmed at Upper Boat on 1st May.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite the extended running time one huge scene was still cut from the episode, originally, before leaving Rose and the meta crisis Doctor at Bad Wolf Bay, the real Doctor was to give them a cutting from the TARDIS with which they could grow their own version of the time machine.  This would have presumably have left the door open for further adventures with Rose and her Doctor. But it never made the final episode. </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKzVSZAUAb3WWIIxCvSoZloQSl_FwUOp7xhE-aJxb47kfXSQmV0hChVYPJ7QYtNhjhl1WHEZs2t2In6b6SNEhjZcp_ATs3eJ2SJHXZkf_3ymBLnUo5oi7gGI8P8xy_HKB_WnWzjO3YV8Y/s1600/jend8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKzVSZAUAb3WWIIxCvSoZloQSl_FwUOp7xhE-aJxb47kfXSQmV0hChVYPJ7QYtNhjhl1WHEZs2t2In6b6SNEhjZcp_ATs3eJ2SJHXZkf_3ymBLnUo5oi7gGI8P8xy_HKB_WnWzjO3YV8Y/s640/jend8.jpg" width="450" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Quotes:</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The Doctor:</b> You see?

She makes a return here after being ousted by the Doctor in 2005's The Christmas Invasion... and she was right - he wasn't there to help this time.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This isn't the first time milkmen have featured in the series - the Third Doctor disguised himself as one to break into Global Chemicals during 1973's The Green Death and a milkman was attacked by a Cheetah Person at the start of 1988's Survival.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite their many encounters, the Doctor's only been shot by a Dalek twice before: in 1973's Planet of the Daleks (when a Dalek deliberately disabled the Third Doctor by zapping his legs) and in 1975's Genesis of the Daleks, when, just prior to blowing up the Daleks' incubation room, the Fourth Doctor received a glancing blow to his hand from a Dalek ray.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Michael Brandon is probably best known for his portrayal of tough 80's New York cop Lt. James Dempsey in the 1980s TV show Dempsey and Makepeace.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kelly Hunter appeared in the BBC's 2005 adaptation of Bleak House alongside Carey Mulligan, who played Sally Sparrow in 2007's terrifying Blink.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The characters of Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper, Luke and the computer Mr Smith all make their Doctor Who debuts in this episode, although they've already starred in their own shows: Ianto and Gwen in Torchwood and Luke and Mr Smith in The Sarah Jane Adventures.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Among the stolen celestial bodies are The Lost Moon of Poosh (as mentioned in Midnight) and Calufrax Minor. The Fourth Doctor visited Calufrax in 1978's The Pirate Planet.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Shadow Proclamation was first mentioned in 2005's Rose; the Judoon debuted in 2007's Smith and Jones; and the Medusa Cascade was first referenced in 2007's Last of the Time Lords.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This isn't the first time Bernard Cribbins has faced the Daleks. He starred in the 1960s feature film Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 AD as policemen Tom Campbell. The film, starring Peter Cushing, was based on the television adventure The Dalek Invasion Of Earth (1964).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This proclamation by a Dalek, unaffected by Wilf's paintball gun, is a reference to another of the Daleks' famous catchphrases "My vision is impaired!" A Dalek was disabled by obstructing its vision in the very first Dalek story in 1963. We're rapidly running out of ways to defeat or get away from them!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite being the longest serving of all the companions featured in this episode, this is the first time that actress Elisabeth Sladen, who plays Sarah Jane Smith, has appeared in the show's opening titles.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Paul O'Grady is a huge fan of the show, and when Russell T Davies heard this, he jumped at the chance to give Paul a cameo!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Richard Dawkins, the celebrated ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular science writer, is married to the Second Romana, actress Lalla Ward.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Davros has been referenced twice since the series restarted in 2005, but never by name. He was referred to in 2005's Dalek as a "man who was king of his own little world"; and in Evolution of The Daleks as the creator "who removed emotion to make them stronger."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Daleks tried to move Earth before, in 1964's The Dalek Invasion of Earth. Their attempts to put pilot the planet were thwarted by the pull of the Earth's magnetic core.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Time Lords have also moved the Earth - as part of a shady cover-up in 1986's The Trial Of A Time Lord.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Supreme Dalek's red colour scheme is a nod to the Dalek Controller from the two 1960s Dalek films.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><b>Videos:</b></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLPm0ujupS6fIjSEJviifo2h8MZ7apJtwN" width="640"></iframe>

He had offered to make her a cup of coffee and it was love at first sight for Donna. However it later emerged that the coffee contained Huon Energy in liguid form and that Lance was drugging her on behalf of the Empress, who was using Donna's body to catalyse the Huon particles, enabling her to release the remaining Racnoss from the centre of the Earth.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">The Doctor later deduced that it was when these particles inside Donna had magnetised with those inside the TARDIS that she was drawn on board and was then able to reverse the process, summoning the TARDIS to materialise around them.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">The Doctor confirmed that the Huon Energy, which is deadly to humans, had been drained from Donna by the Empress before she returned home.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBLEtPkgi4LqjxLWjf1c_VOvahysNVI25f97gqXSNvSnkMuf8XnOuRnRsOSDbElnMNXnkr-ugCskf1F7AUAE8g2MegSxMyD9hLvrrU76sf3ARX9ViLtk4gKvx89QinWsYaYMBKgKJ2G0I/s1600/donna.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBLEtPkgi4LqjxLWjf1c_VOvahysNVI25f97gqXSNvSnkMuf8XnOuRnRsOSDbElnMNXnkr-ugCskf1F7AUAE8g2MegSxMyD9hLvrrU76sf3ARX9ViLtk4gKvx89QinWsYaYMBKgKJ2G0I/s640/donna.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">Prior to her time at HC Clements Donna, who is the daughter of Sylvia and Geoff Noble and the granddaughter to Wilfred Mott, lived alone with her dog in London. </span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">Donna liked Pringles, fashionable fads and celebrity gossip. She hated Christmas so much that she deliberately scheduled her wedding for Christmas Eve with a honeymoon in Morocco to follow.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">The Doctor observed that Donna had the tendency to miss huge events that were happening all around her. She was too hungover to notice the Sycorax invasion ('The Christmas Invasion') and was scuba diving in Spain when the Cybermen manifested across the globe ('Army Of Ghosts' / 'Doomsday') .</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">Athough the Doctor helped Donna to put her life in to perspective she turned down the opportunity to travel him following their encounter with the Racnoss, choosing to give up temping and go travelling alone instead.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">She did however hope that their paths would cross again one day.....</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirbYAPbKzEGQ16Y5T47oeW3hR3LVvcpyKpesUq_o1rUubcSqfSm0gucgeB576nmJWdg7Tng0hAfG1OyMFmiRWVmyavM2hnpNskZCTTYaAfFVxbypKbm_PUk98FZRTgonyBwRf5z9GxqGo/s1600/PARTNERSINCRIME_(8).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="438" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirbYAPbKzEGQ16Y5T47oeW3hR3LVvcpyKpesUq_o1rUubcSqfSm0gucgeB576nmJWdg7Tng0hAfG1OyMFmiRWVmyavM2hnpNskZCTTYaAfFVxbypKbm_PUk98FZRTgonyBwRf5z9GxqGo/s640/PARTNERSINCRIME_(8).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><br /><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite turning the Doctor down and opting to give up her temping job and go travelling alone instead when we catch up with Donna we find life hasn't turned out the way she planned, her father has died and she's living at home with her interfering mother Sylvia, her closest friend is her caring grandfather Wilf. Her travels around the world turned out to consist of a holiday to Egypt and her mother is nagging her to get a new job. </span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Donna never forgot the Doctor and all she could think of was how different her life would be if only she had said yes and agreed to travel with him. In a bid to meet him again Donna began investigating strange phenomenon, hoping beyond hope that the Doctor would also investigate and they would meet again. </span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The pair's paths eventually crossed when Donna was posing as a health and safety inspector at Adipose Industries and she and the Doctor join forces once more. After stopping the Adipose Donna admits to the Doctor that she kept her mum's car packed with clothes (a lot of clothes! and hats!) just in case she met him again so that she would be ready to leave with him at a moments notice. After firmly warning the Doctor that she was not interested in a romance with him the two headed off together bound for Pompeii (Fires Of Pompeii). After that they travelled to the Ood-Sphere, where the Ood christened the pair of them Doctor-Donna (Planet Of The Ood). </span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When they returned to Earth the Doctor and Donna joined forces with the Doctor's former companion Martha Jones to stop the Sontarans' stratagem involving the ATMOS devices (The Sontarana Stratagen / The Poison Sky).</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwyLCncwmlaA4DU0PKhNcg4Y5ubDOjt4UPobz2mmjZooi40YMkfmxi2nMdJR-py_8X7-pH2_jEM2M4eAO00qiNjmnBPS2iAqJ297a3xbDxbOworGD1UxfurmuMhhYNiWjeqG05UzukbY/s1600/SILENCE_(5).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwyLCncwmlaA4DU0PKhNcg4Y5ubDOjt4UPobz2mmjZooi40YMkfmxi2nMdJR-py_8X7-pH2_jEM2M4eAO00qiNjmnBPS2iAqJ297a3xbDxbOworGD1UxfurmuMhhYNiWjeqG05UzukbY/s640/SILENCE_(5).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With Martha they travelled to Messaline (The Doctor's Daughter), and then Donna and the Doctor Agatha Christie (The Unicorn And The Wasp) and visited The Library (Silence In The Library / Forest Of The Dead). Whilst in The Library they met River Song. River knew all about Donna and hinted that she would play a very important part in the Doctor's life, but she refused to reveal what she knew.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Donna was one of the people that the Doctor spoke about to Sky Silvestry on Midnight (Midnight). </span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shortly before leaving Earth with the Doctor, Donna had her first meeting with Rose Tyler, although she didn't know it was Rose - but Rose was tracking Donna because she knew she was integral to reaching the Doctor to warn him that the universes, all of them, were collapsing.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She was able to talk to Donna in the alternative reality where Donna had never met the Doctor, telling her the phrase 'Bad Wolf', knowing that this would lead the Doctor to start searching for her (Turn Left). </span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrbhteYtR2KPG4ApVOqQmsFSP-O1GKZDqdkI_5T-dHt2xOcSmo_0WkhK_Q0lci5dW-nxxEGdcQhNe5bQsCUEU8eN0_cioeBc4n2hgaaOYp-rPzM8_T4IXRhzLIK_ViDtq11gvocJZMOHk/s1600/DONNA2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrbhteYtR2KPG4ApVOqQmsFSP-O1GKZDqdkI_5T-dHt2xOcSmo_0WkhK_Q0lci5dW-nxxEGdcQhNe5bQsCUEU8eN0_cioeBc4n2hgaaOYp-rPzM8_T4IXRhzLIK_ViDtq11gvocJZMOHk/s640/DONNA2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Earth and 26 other planets were transported to the Medusa Cascade, the Doctor and Rose were finally reunited, but a Dalek shot and wounded the Doctor, almost starting a regeneration. The Doctor deflected the regeneration energy into his spare hand and later Donna touched it, causing a metacrisis. The result of this was the creation of another, part human Doctor, while Donna found that her brain was now filled with all of the Doctor's knowledge and awareness of time and space. She used this to stop Davros and the Daleks but the metacrisis was killing her, and the Doctor had to destroy all memories of him and everything they had ever seen and done together from her mind. Heartbroken, he took Donna home to Wilfred and Sylvia, telling them that if Donna ever remembered anything about him, she would die (The Stolen Earth / Journey's End).</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The following Christmas, when the Master tried to create the Master race, the metacrisis prevented the Donna from being turned into the Master, instead it protected her, sending out waves of mental energy as her memories started to come back, stopping the local Masters and putting Donna in a coma until, once again, the memories faded forever.</span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Months later, the Doctor watched her wedding day as she married Shaun Temple and gave her a wedding gift - via Wilfred and Sylvia - a winning lottery ticket he'd bought with a pound borrowed from her late father, which meant that she and Shaun would be set up for life (The End Of Time Part II).</span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>

It had already been decided that the 2008 series would include one episode that featured the Doctor without his regular companion and one episode which would focus on his companion and how she would cope without him and so Davies was trying to think of a reason why the Doctor would not be appearing in the companion based episode. He came up with the idea of what would happen if the Doctor had been killed thanks to a small change in his companion's timeline. The inspiration for the tale came from 1998 film 'Sliding Doors' in which the outcome of a woman's life is changed by whether she is able to catch a train on time. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At this stage in proceedings it wasn't known that Catherine Tate would be returning as Donna Noble and so Davies was planning the episode to feature his new companion Penny. In her first episode as the Doctor's companion Penny was to be introduced to us when she was travelling to London with her mother to visit her granddad when they became trapped inside a huge alien dome. To tie in with that, Davies decided to make the small but important decision Penny would face whether she would travel left or right across the city. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She turns left which leads to her meeting the Doctor and ultimately saving his life, but in Turn Left an alien creature would alter this and make Penny turn right meaning she ends up on the outside of the some, whilst the Doctor is inside and ultimately dies. The episode would revisit other stories throughout the 2008 series and show the implications of what would have happened if the Doctor hadn't been present. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turn Left was also to mark the first full length episode return of Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper. Rose was the Tenth Doctor's first companion and had been written out of the series at the end of his first series in the episode Doomsday. Even at the time of her character's departure Piper and Davies had discussed her return and Davies had been careful to include references of Rose throughout subsequent series of the show so her presence was always felt not just by the viewer but by the characters in the show too.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Davies asked Piper to return for the last three episodes of the 2008 series which was to be his last full series in charge of the show.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In March 2007 plans for the episode changed when Catherine Tate agreed to return to the series as Donna Noble and become a full time companion for the entire series. Davies was keen for Turn Left to explore how Donna was in her first episode, The Runaway Bride, when she had first met the Doctor. Donna had appeared a selfish, shallow and somewhat vacuous character at first, but her time with the Doctor had changed her and Davies wanted to see what would have become of Donna if she and the Time Lord had never met up.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The life changing moment would now all hinge on whether or not Donna Noble would attend a job interview at HC Clements the firm she was working for in The Runaway Bride when she worked alongside the Doctor to battle the Empress Of Rachnoss. In this version of events the Doctor would die by drowning after flooding the Empress' lair. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end of October 2007 Davies dropped the idea of Donna being married with children from the plot. The idea of her having children was to add even more emotional drama to her sacrificing herself  to unravel the alternative timeline, as her children would have ceased to exist as soon as she took her own life.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However by this point Davies was aware that Steven Moffat already had similar plans for Donna in his two parter, Silence Of The Library / Forest Of The Dead and Davies agreed that the idea was more integral to Moffat's plot than to his own.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first draft of Turn Left was completed on 2nd November 2007. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A number of episodes were to be revisited in the story this time however, without the Doctor to save the day, the outcomes to the tales were very different:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Smith And Jones - Martha Jones and Sarah Jane Smith had been killed at the Royal Hope Hospital alongside Sarah's young companions, Maria, Luke and Clyde.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Voyage Of The Damned - The Titanic had crashed in to Earth and wiped out most of Southern England including Buckingham Palace.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Partners In Crime - The Adipose had killed millions in the USA.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Sontaran Stratagem / The Poison Sky - Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones from Torchwood sacrificed themselves to try and stop the Sontarans, but to no avail and Captain Jack Harkness had been captured and taken to Sontar.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turn Left was doubled banked - filmed alongside - Midnight and The Doctor's Daughter. Once again Susie Liggat stepped in as producer, whilst Phil Collinson was credited as executive producer.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Directing Turn Left was Graeme Harper who had recently finished work on The Unicorn And The Wasp and Planet Of The Ood.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmMX15mu-yAUVHtIaaBEg_Oty6aJZnuiewAxr0h6n5FVpcqZfSLxjlWz54-PpxpoxFWbnKNij8Eq9JHZssfpVtZEfbzLG3mY9VppoyMtqdGwz1U7bliIlc_C9i3qq_UGInNlgs_x_GIj0/s1600/left4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmMX15mu-yAUVHtIaaBEg_Oty6aJZnuiewAxr0h6n5FVpcqZfSLxjlWz54-PpxpoxFWbnKNij8Eq9JHZssfpVtZEfbzLG3mY9VppoyMtqdGwz1U7bliIlc_C9i3qq_UGInNlgs_x_GIj0/s640/left4.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Filming on Turn Left began on 22nd November 2007 with news bulletins being recorded at the BBC in Cardiff. 26th November saw scenes in Jival Chowdry's business and at the housing office recorded at Bay Chambers in Cardiff. On the same day, the scene of UNIT taking away the Doctor's body was filmed on Hamadryad Road in the city. The 26th November marked Billie Piper's return to the <i>Doctor Who</i> set. She had left almost two years earlier after recording her final scenes on the two part episode The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantine,  the BBC had commissioned an hour and half special centered around her character called <i>Rose Tyler: Earth Defence. The show was to tell the story of Rose's life on the parallel Earth and her work at their Torchwood Institute.</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But in the end Davies asked the BBC to cancel the show. He decided that it was unnecessary and would ruin Rose's parting moments in Doomsday.  </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On 26th November 2007 the BBC announced that Piper would be returning to series for three episodes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On 27th November filming moved to Clearwater Parade, which was the area of Donna's time-jump. It was then on to Nant Fawr Road, for the shots outside Donna's home. On the 28th November it was further location work, Court Road was the scene of the fateful crossroad at the very centre of the story, whilst the Lady Mary Allotments in Roath Park were the location for Wilf's stargazing scenes. On the 29th November Donna's sacrifice was shot at St Isan Road, while Franklen Road was the location used for the scene of Rose warning to Donna to leave London for Christmas. The 30th November saw the cast and crew head back to base at Upper Boat, for scenes in the TARDIS and the fortune teller's tent. This day saw the first use of The Time Beetle, which had been designed to resemble the giant spider which was attached to Sarah Jane Smith's back in the 1974 episode Planet Of The Spiders.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="initial"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">David Tennant's only full day of filming for Turn Left was on 1st December 2007. The day saw the cast and crew filming  in a car park near the Cardiff Royal Infirmary where the Shan Shen marketplace had been set up and then later it was back to  Upper Boat for more sequences in the fortune teller's tent. Also recorded on 1st December was the news item regarding Royal Hope Hospital, which saw the return of Ben Righton as Oliver Morgenstern from Smith And Jones. On 3rd December, the Egerton Grey Country House in Porthkerry was the site for the Nobles' Christmas getaway, whilst shots on the coach were captured at Port Road in Rhoose. The Nobles' house in Leeds was actually a house on Machen Street in Penarth. On the 4th and 5th December scenes of the Nobles' house in Leeds were recorded at a house on Machen Street in Penarth.</span></div><div class="initial"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On 6th December filming began at the Conway in Pontcanna, which was the scene of the bar where Donna and her friends enjoyed Christmas drink. In the evening, Donna's chat with Rose on the bench was due to be recorded at Thompson Park in Pontcanna. But, Catherine Tate had become unwell with the flu, and so it was decided that the scene shouldbe recorded at Sophia Gardens, where the production unit had base. Principal photography on Turn Left finished on 7th and 8th December at  the Panteg Steelworks in Pontypool  where the scenes in the UNIT warehouse were shot. A number of insert shots were also completed on the 8th.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As 2008 dawned there was still work to complete on Turn Left . Julie Gardner, the executive producer, had decided that more shots of the phrase 'Bad Wolf' appearing on Shan Shen and the the TARDIS itself needed to be included and so these were filmed on 18th January  at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. Extra inserts in the TARDIS, the fortune teller's tent, and the Shan Shen marketplace were filmed at Upper Boat on 24th January. The final concluding scene of the TARDIS was filmed at Upper Boat on 20th March.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjljQOm5TPZXElEzABfvM1l_Qjy71YIkYt-GrGa_adahWaJc7gfLhT5kHWFQYmFBUZeG67eAlvzCHdPR3vq2xEolYsDEE9l2UQDKukbTlH4bOK9waMh2x9F_GpVSJfml1u1S_-ICnhpfxU/s1600/left5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjljQOm5TPZXElEzABfvM1l_Qjy71YIkYt-GrGa_adahWaJc7gfLhT5kHWFQYmFBUZeG67eAlvzCHdPR3vq2xEolYsDEE9l2UQDKukbTlH4bOK9waMh2x9F_GpVSJfml1u1S_-ICnhpfxU/s640/left5.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white;">The Time Beetle:</b></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Time Beetle was a creature from the Pantheon Of Discord, one of the Trickster's Brigade. It was on Shane Shen and was drawn to Donna Noble, sensing that she was connected to time and coincidence. When Donna visited the Beetle's familiar, a Fortune Teller, it jumped on her back feeding off the chaos created by the alternative history Donna was forced to relive. Donna, helped by Rose Tyler, was too string and managed to restore time to the correct path, destroying the Beetle in the process.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUtE43kF0-gU6YznQRjcgxQ_IjmGJYfyXE5wRf9WmGg2zOMLikXZUiIWMf5qBwjN9orCCMHKbf6Ed77cJtOh4sOPJDLUoKM2L3Wy39sQw2BETzThJ4q8W_oCNu8t2ZS6LZ9haVyVnyJqE/s1600/left6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUtE43kF0-gU6YznQRjcgxQ_IjmGJYfyXE5wRf9WmGg2zOMLikXZUiIWMf5qBwjN9orCCMHKbf6Ed77cJtOh4sOPJDLUoKM2L3Wy39sQw2BETzThJ4q8W_oCNu8t2ZS6LZ9haVyVnyJqE/s640/left6.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white;">The Dimension Cannon:</b></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Dimension Cannon was a device used by Rose Tyler to cross different time lines and realities, trying to find the Doctor, to warn him that the Universe was collapsing. It could track timelines and Rose quickly realised that all lines led to Donna Noble so, unable to contact the Doctor, Rose concentrated on finding Donna instead.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhKS21WmxeZtA8nyF3TnAlegNMTB5mS2ZuVHriFz49A0hOQnvU4GeaKyNJAoKIgmft-eGkYaCiTCUR7M8lVIndDMs7IvybkQXKdiwwm4A684ZSqysBU0jFdXMkBaLesmfPBcie4aCqgIw/s1600/left7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhKS21WmxeZtA8nyF3TnAlegNMTB5mS2ZuVHriFz49A0hOQnvU4GeaKyNJAoKIgmft-eGkYaCiTCUR7M8lVIndDMs7IvybkQXKdiwwm4A684ZSqysBU0jFdXMkBaLesmfPBcie4aCqgIw/s640/left7.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Facts:</b></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.265625px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.265625px;">So that's why Lucius thought Donna had "something on her back" in The Fires of Pompeii!</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.265625px;"><br /></span></div><div><h4 style="line-height: 17.265625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">As the constellation of Orion is 93.6 light years away from Earth, either it vanished 93.6 years ago (as it would have taken that long for light from its stars to stop reaching us) or mysterious forces are at work...</span></h4><h4 style="line-height: 17.265625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trick Or Treat</span></span></h4><div style="clear: both; line-height: 17.265625px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 6px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Doctor refers to "the Trickster", a powerful being who appeared in the Sarah Jane Adventures story Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?</span></span></div><h4 style="line-height: 17.265625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">The Doctor once disguised himself as a gypsy fortune teller in 1967's The Underwater Menace and former companion Tegan encountered one in a market on Mannussa in 1983's Snakedance.</span></h4><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="clear: both; line-height: 17.265625px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 6px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Doctor 'died' once before - in the 1996 TV Movie.
