> I also found the deletion, for no better term, of Donna somewhat interesting. it's almost like Davies had written this episode & then remembered "Oh, yeah! I forgot Donna." then added her in just so people knew where she was during all this.

The reason for the lack of Donna is twofold: one, this story wouldn't work with a companion. But, more importantly, two: this was filmed the same time as next week's, Turn Left, which has barely any Doctor in it. Instead of doing an episode like Love & Monsters or Blink that features little of the Doctor and his companion, they split them up this year, so we've got a Doctor-lite and a Companion-lite.
