A "Donna Lite" ep. She's dropped off pre-titles, not part of main story. Bottle ep as 99% takes place in a single spot in a tram car. One of the best written eps due to the limited scenery. pic.twitter.com/2Zbpd9SrPk

Tennant & Lesley Sharp are masterpieces. Cast also includes David Troughton, son of 2nd Doctor Patrick. This has a more persistent & intense "scary" across its runtime than Blink did. pic.twitter.com/Ormn2NlOMe
