Donna Noble: Kidnapped!
Over the last few years, several of the Tenth Doctor’s friends have been given audio spin-o. s exploring their lives without the Doctor, from Rose Tyler to Lady Christina – and now it’s Donna Noble’s turn. But because Donna’s time in the TARDIS ended with her memories being wiped, Kidnapped! takes place within, rather than beyond, the 2008 TV series.
“We’re after Forest of the Dead, when Donna has gone through being stuck in the computer-generated world of the Library, and the whole trauma of being given a family and then having it ripped away,” explains script editor Matt Fitton. “On TV, the next story after that is Midnight, when we see she’s chilling on holiday. I thought, ‘Between those two stories, we could have her wanting to go home and have some time out for a little while, just to collect herself together again.’
