[Read by Catherine Tate.]

"You alright?" the Doctor asked.

"Yeah." Donna smiled, putting on a brave face. "No. But I will be. You?"

"Yeah," the Doctor repeated, then paused. "No. But I will be."

DoctorDonna and "I will be."

Hi! I'm newly obsessed into Doctor and Donna, would you happen to have a list of her appearances outside the TV eps? I found a list on the Fandom wiki page and was surprised to read your post about the Camelot book because it wasn't on the list! So I don't trust it anymore now lol and turning to you. Thank you ❤️

*cracks knuckles* OKAY SO i can't claim to be an expert so I'm just listing everything i can think of but im sure there's the obscure extended universe thing here or there but here's as comprehensive of a list I can provide!

Big Finish Audio Dramas

Tenth Doctor Adventures Vol 1

Tenth Doctor Adventures Vol 3

Donna Noble Kidnapped!

Specifically Audio Books (narrated rather than full cast performance)

Death's Deal (which I didn't even know about until i scanned through big finish!)

The Nemonite Invasion

The Forever Trap

Pest Control

Novelizations of specific Donna episodes

Planet of the Ood

Fires of Pompeii

The Star Beast

Wild Blue Yonder

The Giggle

Novels that are independent adventures

Ghosts of India

Beautiful Chaos (an absolute must read imo!!!)

Legends of Camelot

The Doctor Trap

Shining Darkness

In The Blood

Comics

Idk about the comics for the most part but there is this one shot that makes me feel So Many Things

That's all I got! If anybody knows of any more Donna Noble content please add on to this!!

Do you have a favourite from those? And is 'In the blood' any good? :)

Hello kind Anon!

Oooh, now that’s a tricky question. At one time I would have definitely said “Beautiful Chaos” was my favourite book - obviously I am a DD masochist who enjoys sobbing their heart out at the end of a story - but “In The Blood” is a lovely lighthearted tale that sort of pays homage to the Doctor & Donna combination. 

As for the audio books, I liked the weirdness of “The Forever Trap”, the fact it managed to be scary in places, and the old lady’s advice to Donna. [Okay, I might have fallen asleep and missed most of “The Nemonite Invasion” thanks to a migraine; but it was thrilling to think I’d actually been to those Dover war rooms and seen what it was like. And as @some-thrilling-heroics said about “Pest Control”, it’s got centaurs!] 

The audio adventures are in a league of their own, and it is really hard to choose. As an ardent Ten/Donna shipper, I’m going to plump for “No Place” but I could easily change my mind about it soon. 

My answer to your second question is ‘yes’ [see comment above] because it allows Donna to shine in ways she wasn’t able to elsewhere. And the Doctor says some really nice things about her. 

But if you have any particular reason for liking any of the stories on the list, do let me know (tag me, or something) as I’d love to read your thoughts. 

For anyone confused what this is all about, it is this list
