The Doctor and Shirley in “The Star Beast”

I've got this friend called Donna Noble. And she was my best friend in the whole wide universe. I absolutely love her. Oh! Mm, do I say things like that now?

Sounds like a good thing to say.

But Donna took the mind of a Time Lord into her head. I had to wipe her memory to save her life. If she ever remembers me, she will die. So what happens next? I get this face back and the TARDIS lands right next to her. I turn around and there's her husband, and then a spaceship crashes right in front of her, it's like she's drawing us in.

What, she's making it happen?

No, she's got no idea. She's so ordinary, she's brilliant! She's got this beautiful daughter, she's happy... Is she? But now the universe is turning around her again. I don't believe in destiny, but if destiny exists, then it is heading for Donna Noble right now.
