But then the series started and with everyone getting more familiar with Donna, a large number of us fell in love with her.\u00a0 I like Runaway more after series 4 ended. But uuugh, that ending.

By coincidence(?), for the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gbfIHPmSATM\">Doctor Who The Fan Show where they discussed this episode<\/a>, one of the guests was Rosianna Halse Rojas who was\/is John&#8217;s assistant.
