Donna first appeared in the 2006 episode Doomsday, and went on to become a fan favourite, before having one of the most tragic fates of any of the Doctor\u2019s companions.<\/p>\n
She is now set to return in The Star Beast<\/a>, Wild Blue Yonder<\/a> and The Giggle<\/a>, three specials to celebrate the show\u2019s 60th anniversary, which also see David Tennant returning, this time as the Fourteenth Doctor<\/a>.<\/p>\n But just what did happen during Donna\u2019s previous tenure on the show? How did she come into the Doctor\u2019s life and how was she so cruelly snatched away from it?<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about what has happened to Donna Noble in Doctor Who thus far.<\/p>\n Catherine Tate\u2019s Donna Noble first appeared at the end of Doctor Who\u2019s season 2 finale, Doomsday, when she suddenly appeared in the TARDIS wearing a wedding dress.<\/p>\n In The Runaway Bride, we found out that the temp from Chiswick had been getting married on Christmas Day, to man called Lance, who she\u2019d met six months ago at work.<\/p>\n Together, the Doctor and Donna discovered that she had been drawn to the TARDIS because of a chemical reaction in her body, caused by Huon particles she had unwittingly ingested in liquid form.<\/p>\n She was being poisoned by her Lance, who was working with the Empress of the Racnoss. A ship full of her Racnoss children was buried at the centre of the Earth, after the planet formed around them Millenia ago.<\/p>\n The particles were intended to set them free, but the Doctor flooded the pit, stopping the Empress\u2019s plans. Donna saved him when it seemed he wouldn\u2019t leave, and would be trapped inside and drowned. Lance, meanwhile, was killed by the Empress.<\/p>\n The Doctor offered Donna the opportunity to travel with him, but she said that she couldn\u2019t live his life of danger and adventure. She planned to travel the world, and the two thought they would never see each other again. How wrong they were\u2026<\/p>\n Over a year later, in the episode Partners in Crime, we learned that Donna had never properly travelled the world, and had instead spent a lot of her time searching for the Doctor, looking to take him up on his offer.<\/p>\n Through a series of coincidences (and a mystery to solve) the pair were reunited to stop Miss Foster\u2019s plans to use the Earth as an Adipose breeding ground.<\/p>\n Donna told the Doctor she had changed her mind and off they went, travelling through time and space.<\/p>\n Throughout their following adventures, the Doctor would notice a host of coincidences which seemed to be drawing the pair together. He overlooked them, but they would soon pay off in a big way.<\/p>\nHow did Donna first meet the Doctor?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
