doctor who

I was thinking about Donna Noble today, apropos of nothing, and it occurred to me – right at the end of Journey’s End, this exchange–


DOCTOR:And for one
moment, one shining moment, she was the most important woman in the
whole wide universe.
SYLVIA: She still is. She’s my daughter.
DOCTOR: Then maybe you should tell her that once in a while.

– that’s supposed to be the resolution to one of the biggest things about Donna, how much her unsupportive mother messed up her self-confidence, messed her up. And it’s so little. Sylvia doesn’t say that Donna’s important because she’s clever or brave or fundamentally kind or because she saved the world or because she’s Donna, she’s important because she’s Sylvia’s daughter. What Donna herself is and has done is irrelevant.

(And it’s not even Donna herself who gets to tell her mother to treat her better; it’s the Doctor. She never gets to significantly stand up for herself against the person whom she most needed to.)

Every time she walked into the BBC in the morning she was glared at by everyone because she had taken this tiny little program that wasn’t supposed to be a success and made she’d made it the biggest thing on television! And all these people who thought they knew how television was made, hated her and would glare at her every day. Richard Martin said, ‘Verity dear, how do you manage it?’ And she said, ‘Well I just buy a new hat every day and I assume they are looking at that!’

It has been announced today that Frances Barber will return to her role as the villainous Madame Kovarian in the third series of The Diary of River Song.

Barber played the role of Kovarian in the sixth series of Doctor Who in 2011 alongside Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor as she worked against the Time Lord in order to kidnap the child of his companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams, the child who would grow up to be River Song, played by Alex Kingston.

Series 3 will add yet another Doctor to River Song’s list as she meets up with the Fifth Doctor played by Peter Davison.
