Acting Coach Reacts to DOCTOR WHO: Partners in Crime | The Return of Donna Noble!

We are finally jumping into Doctor Who Series 4, and I am genuinely so hyped to have Donna Noble (the iconic Catherine Tate) back in the TARDIS! In today’s reaction, we’re looking at why the Doctor specifically needs a platonic foil like Donna to keep him from falling into the "darkness" after the trauma he’s been through. I’m also geeking out over the technical side of this episode—specifically that "bait-and-switch" framing that led up to the Rose Tyler cameo. We’re breaking down the "Scooby-Doo" comedic timing, the sheer joy of Wilf (I love that man!), and the ominous questions left by Rose’s sudden disappearance. Is a "Dark Doctor" actually being foreshadowed? Let's discuss. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Support the Channel: Patreon (Full-Length Reactions): www.patreon.com/thatsnotacting Discord Community:   / discord   E-Mail: thatsnotacting@pm.me All My Links: allmylinks.com/thatsnotacting Be kind to each other, and most importantly, be kind to yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE 00:00 Video Begins 03:12 Reaction Begins 03:19 Catherine's Reappearance 04:28 Reaction Resumes 05:11 Doctor and Donna's comedic timing; hopes for the episode; musing about Adipose 07:26 Reaction Resumes 07:57 Another bait-and-switch 08:22 Reaction Resumes 08:52 Nice to get a quiet Donna moment 09:24 Reaction Resumes 12:38 Just before THE BIG reveal; discussing Donna, and who he thinks the blonde is 14:25 The big moment.
