It's already been announced that Freema Agyeman will be taking her place as the Doctor's new companion, but that's not until the new series in April. For now - as anyone who saw the closing seconds of the last episode will know - the Doctor has yet another lady in tow, none other than comedienne Catherine Tate. She plays Donna, a bride-to-be who's running late for her wedding, and has somehow materialised on board the Tardis.
