UATW - a really fun story, with the Doctor and Donna dynamic of 2 mates just having a really good time at its best. It also has a great cast and looks lovely.

SITL/FOTD - the first example of Moffat’s sudden shifts in tone and story in the middle of his 2 parters, but it actually works here (before it just gets annoying in his own era). Nice introduction for River Song which is more bittersweet in hindsight.
TL - benefits from being Donna-heavy and like the best Doctor-lire episodes it works because there is a Doctor shaped joke in it. As bleak as RTD gets but it still has a lot of heart. Tate, Cribbins and King are on top form.
TSE/JE - it’s total fan wank - but when fan wank is this much fun, who cares?! Donna’s fate is still heartbreaking even though it has since been deconstructed. Did I mention it was fun? It’s just a shame Doctor Who has never been this much fun since.
