I think in general I'm prepared to give Catherine Tate the benefit of the doubt. She's a very good character actress and a f---ing awful comedienne, if her own show is anything to go by.
Donna was loud and screechy in a loud and screechy Christmas special. But Christmas specials of [b]everything[/b] (apart from Morecambe and Wise) are never as good as the real thing, and Donna's last few scenes were very well-acted.
I think she'll be coming back as a wiser, more settled character, someone who's consciously decided that she wants to get out there and see a bit of the universe that was offered to her. She won't get it all right, she won't deal well with all of it, but I think Donna will throw herself into the experience.
(thinks, for any Moorcock fans - Tate would make a bloody marvellous Mrs Cornelius wouldn't she? The late Joan Sims would've been ideal for the older Mrs C...)
