S04E11: 'Turn Left'
It's The Doctor's turn to take a break this week, as Donna takes centre stage in the distinctly hit and miss 'Turn Left'. Billie Piper is back, but very conspicuously struggles to nail Rose Tyler's chavette dialect and sounds like a female Chris Eubank. The plot meanders for a fair while, exploring a sci-fi spin on the butterfly effect.
Fortunately, the story soon veers off in a deliciously dark direction towards the end and whips up the excitement for the impending finale. Anyway, please check out our full review of the episode as soon as it's aired next Saturday. For now, here are the teaserish spoilers, with two bogus ones lurking in their midst...
The true mastermind of the ill fate that happens to Donna in this episode will be familiar to fans of one of the Doctor Who spinoff shows.
Oliver Morgenstern from 'Smith And Jones' is back and in fine form.
Donna suggests that footage of a Titanic replica spaceship flying towards Buckingham Palace is actually from a sequel to the famous Leonardo DiCaprio/Kate Winslet film.
There's a Wayne's World moment where Donna and Wilf sing Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
Rose Tyler tells Donna that The Darkness is coming. Donna tells her that she saw them live in 2004 and they only had one good song.
Donna insults someone by calling them Vera Duckworth.
Mr Chaudhary's wandering hands cause Donna some consternation.
Rose tells Donna two vital words to pass onto The Doctor. The first one is a name of an old enemy last seen in an escape pod. The second is "lives".
Donna has a beetle on her back and soon Wilf finds antlers on his head too.
And now a preview clip for Turn Left

Spoliers
If you thought that Doctor Who couldn't get much darker of scarier this series, think again. Midnight is one of the most intense and disturbing stories we've seen so far.
It all starts off happily enough with the Doctor and Donna on the holiday planet of Midnight.
What's going on here? |
This is one of those stories where the less you know before watching it, the more you'll enjoy it.
Without giving too much away, writer Russell T Davies takes a beautifully simple concept and turns it into something filled with menace and terror.
It's a story that looks at different parts of the Doctor's personality, especially his never ending curiosity, while at the same time showing the risks and danger that that brings.
Claustrophobic feeling
And it also highlights, with Donna not around for most of the story, how important his companion is to him. But the most terrifying part is how it explores how human beings respond when they're under intense pressure.
Midnight looks to be exciting! |
And thanks to a brilliantly intense performance from David Tennant, this is an episode that's well up there with the programme's very best.
And now some Digital Spy spoilers:
- A sinister shadow poses a threat to the Crusader 50 vessel, according to a crew member.
- Betty Boop is seen doing the do in front of The Doctor.
- A Professor is carrying a hidden bomb strapped under his jumper along with a unique ultimatum.
- The Doctor toasts the Lost Moon of Poosh.
- It's Election Day on the planet Midnight, prompting The Doctor to discuss Arcadia.
- Rose Tyler trades places with a pop singer.
- Fans of a certain French phrase will be happy.
- The Doctor tries to force a pi into the mouth of an alien.
- One of the characters tells the Time Lord: "Oh Doctor, you're so handsome." He agrees.
- A famous poem by Christina Rossetti is analysed by The Doctor and one other character, in reference to ongoing events.

Turn Left synopsis
Donna's entire world collapses, but there's no sign of the Doctor, as Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues.

But, as Donna and Rose Tyler combine forces, are they too late to save the whole of creation from the approaching darkness?
David Tennant plays the Doctor and Catherine Tate plays his companion, Donna Noble. Billie Piper guest stars as Rose Tyler.
