Part social commentary on slavery, part horror movie, it's also a very effective transitional episode for Donna who develops beyond the mouthy comic relief introduced two Christmas specials ago.
I remember being sceptical about Catherine Tate's return, and whilst the first two episodes of her series hadn't convinced me, this one completed her metamorphosis into a fully three dimensional character with compassion and intelligence that complemented rather than replaced the comedy aspect without jarring too hard against the Donna we'd encountered so far.
Tate and Tennant bounce off each other in a way which is fun and natural, and without out any of the "will they, won't they" suggestions of romance and snogginess that was close to becoming a trope at the time. Planet of the Ood follows on well from the previous episode, Fires of Pompeii, even though it may feel surprising to have two fairly deep episodes one after the other, with this one turning things darker too.
Donna Noble ended up working so surprisingly well as a character, even though she only stayed for a season, that Catherine Tate seems to have paved the way for an arguably ill-advised trend for bringing British comedians into the TARDIS that would kick off three Doctors later.
It's worth mentioning that Planet of the Ood also does a good job of developing the titular "monster", with the Ood having been introduced in the previous season's The Impossible Planet. It's not a given that the return of a race in Doctor Who leads to great stories (ref: the Weeping Angels).

It’s exactly 15 years since Karen Gillan and Peter Capaldi’s first Doctor Who appearance in ‘The Fires of Pompeii’. 🌋 👀

Interesting breakdown video. I don’t watch a lot of whotubers because there’s a lot of negativity out there. But this one was interesting. #doctorwho #60thanniversaryspecials #FourteenthDoctor #donnanoble #rosetemplenoble #beepthemeep #davidtennant #catherinetate #yasminfinney #neilpatrickharris

Well. I'm intrigued. And yet I'm also a little nervous as Russell T Davies seems to be heading straight at the single most troubling element of his run on Doctor Who - the non-consentual memory wipe of Donna Noble.
One hopes that he's going to, at least, explore the issue with some care.

I'm rewatching the #DoctorWho #DonnaNoble episodes. Wouldn't it be sweet if the Doctor took her to one of these places next year? 💙💙

8 followers · 11 posts · Server eldritch.cafeBit of a long theory type post about doctor who:
I am fully convinced there's some sort of connection between the new companion (Ruby) and Donna Noble - no clue what that connection is, but the Doctor Who marketing team are defo trying to hint at something.
With the accountment of the new companion, Doctor Who's official page posted 4 emojis, ❤️❤️➕♦️ (2 red hearts, a plus and a RED diamond), since the reveal they have also posted the clip of Donna on her roof talking to her gramps about the doctor, after the first time they met - this was captioned with ❤️❤️➕🔹(2 red hearts, a plus and a BLUE diamond), which is why I think there's some sort of connection between these 2 characters.
