I'm liking Catherine Tate very much! There was one part at the end of Pompeii where I think she's asking the Doctor to go back for Caecilius et al and her face is all red and shiny that was particularly affecting (perhaps this is just my natural affinity for shiny-red-faced people).

Donna is fast becoming a very real contestant for favorite companion on my side being the combination of heart as you said and some really great banter with the Doctor. Also can't squee enough about the Rose part so shocked to see her in the first episode already also the doomsday music made me really sad. I am really looking forward to the companions meeting each other.
