I have nothing critical to add because this brought me back to when I first started watching Doctor Who except now I am older but yes I will still ugly sob for The Doctor and Donna!!! I feel like The Doctor openly saying how much he loves Donna and Wilf is because of his time as Jodie, which I quite enjoy. Everything about Rose made my heart soar. More of this please. We need so much more of this.

Some clunky dialogue and lines throughout, which take me out of the moment. But generally, lots to love. Tennant and Tate always have a fantastic chemistry, and they feel like they've never been away, in a fun and exciting story. The Meep is interesting villain, and the work on the Meep, Wrarth Warriors and special effects are brilliant.

Some script revisions to amend the dialogue would have been beneficial, just to try and fix some distracting moments.

A new Doctor, a new showrunner, and a new era for the show;  A lot of the charm and humor returns as well but it's still a pretty ok, middle of the road episode. I don't like that David Tennent has returned as a new incarnation. I don't like how Donna's memory wipe was undone. There was never going to be a satisfying way to get Donna's memories back - ultimately it was something that should not have be undone, but surely could've done better than what we got. At the very least Beep the Meep was hilarious and David Tennant and Catherine Tate are still as awesome as ever.  Sylvia and Rose are also great additions. This is still a massive step up from what came before.

It was a good start to the specials and the villain was amazing. Loved the Doctor and Donna. They have a nice back and forth and the comedy is just right. Her family is great too. Rose is an interesting character and can’t wait to see more of her. Beep the Meep is cute and took me by surprise when he’s revealed as the villain. The scene when the Doctor has to make a choice between opening up the memories in Donna which will kill her or not was powerful. You could feel the emotion and when he did do it and Donna getting angry at him was great. The ending was good and I love the cliffhanger. The TARDIS was amazing. 

There's a few weird problems with this story that leave you scratching your head, but the Tennant/Donna reunion is just a ton of fun. The Meep's switch to villainy is excellent too, I enjoyed watching the swerve. The scene of Sylvia asking Donna if she's doing okay talking to Rose is excellent. A bit uneven, but it got RTD2 off in the right direction.
