Doctor who partners in crime rapidshare

The Adipose Industries retrieval team scoops up the new Adipose and zooms off in their van, just missed by both the Doctor and Donna — who both give up and head off in different directions, unaware they are only a few feet away from each other.

Miss Foster goes through her CCTV records with her henchmen to find out just who "borrowed" a pendant and spots her. Donna cancels Stacy's cab , and goes home, only to find her mother nagging at her about her unemployment.

Donna sits at the table, ignoring her, as she tries to get over what she saw. She then goes to see her grandfather Wilfred Mott , who is up at the allotments stargazing. He says she looks like he's drifting, but she replies she's waiting for the right man — the Doctor.

When Wilf urges her to look for him, Donna explains she has — but that he is nowhere. She asks him to keep an eye out for a certain blue box in the sky, and give her a shout if he finds it. He stands there in silence. Miss Foster shows off the pill. The next day, despite protests from her mother, Donna takes the car to Adipose Industries, parking in an alleyway nearby.

The Doctor and Donna hide in the building until after hours: the Doctor in a caretaker's cupboard and Donna in the women's bathroom. Donna even goes so far to conceal herself as to pretend she is in church when her mother calls. Miss Foster suddenly stalks into the toilets searching for the thief — and, much to Donna's surprise and relief instead pulls out Penny Carter. Penny accuses Miss Foster of faking her results. As Penny is dragged to Miss Foster's office by her guards, Donna follows, peeking through the office door.

The Doctor zips to the roof, fiddles with a window-cleaning crane and drops down to the office window. He watches the same event from the other side of the room.

Unable to quite see what's going on, both pop their heads up — only to spot each other. They mouth frantic questions to each other while Donna does her best to mime her answers, all the while unaware that they are being watched by Miss Foster and everybody in her office. Donna runs, while the Doctor locks the door with his sonic screwdriver and raises his window-cleaning cradle to the roof, before racing to the stairs.

The pair finally meet, but have to keep running and head back to the window-cleaning cradle to lower themselves down for a quick getaway as Donna explains how she had searched for the Doctor by "[looking] for trouble". However, even though the Doctor locks the pulley with his sonic screwdriver, Miss Foster has a sonic device of her own. She uses her sonic pen to cut one side of the supporting ropes, making Donna fall out and leaving her hanging to the broke rope.

Before Miss Foster can cut the other one, the Doctor uses his sonic to knock the pen out of her hand and into his; he uses it to open a window below Donna and swings her inside before following after her. Intrigued that someone with advanced technology has appeared, Miss Foster heads back in with her guards to confront the Doctor. Inside, the Doctor and Donna have arrived back in Miss Foster's office via the window. Out of breath from her screaming, Donna asks if she's right in thinking it's always like this with him around.

The Doctor confirms with a smile and tells her it's time to run again. Donna rushes out as Penny, yells for answers; the Doctor tells her that as a reporter, she should just invent a story, which is what people in her profession are good at. He unties her via the sonic and runs out. However, Penny wastes the chance to flee by searching the office for evidence and is once more caught by Miss Foster and her guards.

They tie her up again. Miss Foster and her guards finally catch up with the Doctor and Donna in the main office; she notes that the Doctor must be an off-worlder due to his possession of sonic technology. The Doctor takes out the sonic pen he confiscated, noting that the design is sleeker than his sonic screwdriver. He asks for her real name, learning she is Matron Cofelia of the Five-Straighten Classabindi Nursery Fleet , Intergalactic Class, who has been hired by the Adiposian First Family to breed the next generation of the species from humans following the loss of their breeding planet.

Donna wonders how losing a planet is even possible, but Cofelia dismisses it as politics she's not interested in. Cofelia ignores both Donna's protests about Stacy Campbell's death which she passes off as necessary to keep her presence secret; she does feel bad that using an entire person's matter makes the Adipose born from them a little ill and the Doctor's that seeding a Level 5 planet is against galactic law.

The Doctor decides to make a last request: does she know what happens if you use two sonic devices against each other? Cofelia hasn't a clue; "Neither do I.

Let's find out, shall we? The result is a painful sonic feedback, which stuns Cofelia and her guards. The Doctor grabs Donna's arm and pulls her away. Seeing that she cannot trap the Doctor, Cofelia fears that he might have alerted the Shadow Proclamation of her illegal actions; she decides to call the Adipose to collect the children that have been born already. Seeing that keeping her cover will not last, Cofelia activate the inducer - they're going into premature labour.

Down in the basement , the Doctor and Donna head into the cupboard where he hid all day, which has a secondary inducer hidden in the back. He quickly uses the fact that Miss Foster had wired the building to stun her guards. Donna then admits she was a fool to turn down the Doctor's original offer to travel with him and asks if she can still come. Back in her office, Miss Foster activates the main inducer, which sends a signal to the free pendants that will trigger the Adipose birthing process in the company's one million customers, converting fat, bones and internal organs The March of the Adipose!

In a London wine bar , Sylvia Noble is having a girls' night out; one of them, Suzette Chambers , is an Adipose customer and " host ". Adipose start popping out of her, as well as out of Roger Davey back at his home.

The Doctor manages to temporarily disable the process by unscrewing his Adipose pendant and attaching it to his inducer, but Miss Foster doubles the power. The Doctor begins to panic as he finds himself unable to stop the imminent deaths of a million people, but Donna offers him just what he needs: a second pendant, to block the increased signal.

The second capsule overloads the system, and the Adipose clients return to normal; but ten thousand Adipose have now been born, and are now making their way to Adipose Industries , causing traffic chaos throughout London. The ten thousand will have to do; the nursery is coming.

A gigantic nursery ship arrives over London to collect the babies; while Sylvia gawps at it, Wilfred — the one who's always believed in extraterrestrial life — has his back turned towards his telescope in the other direction and his headphones on, and misses the whole thing.

As it arrives, so does a signal from the Adiposian First Family , which the Doctor listens to via the secondary inducer; he suddenly realises that it's no longer the humans, but Miss Foster who is now in serious trouble. The Doctor and Donna run onto the rooftop to watch several levitation beams carry the Adipose babies up to the ship.

Having already seen first-hand what the Doctor can do to even children who he feels are a threat, the Racnoss children, she asks if he plans to blow the Adipose up too, but the Doctor refuses to harm them, as they're just children; they can't help where they came from.

Donna openly notes that that is a marked difference from the last time they were in that situation; Martha's time with him seems to have changed him for the better.

A child sees them as it ascends, waving at them. They wave back as the Doctor admits that as a weight loss plan, the Adipose birthing has its merits. They see Cofelia in another beam on her way up to the nursery ship. The Doctor pleads with her to get over to the roof; the Adiposian First Family is aware that their actions are illegal, which means they need to get rid of their accomplice.

Cofelia dismisses the threat because she's the nanny - but the Doctor remains worried, exclaiming, "Exactly! Mum and Dad have got the kids now - they don't need the nanny anymore! Immediately afterwards, the nursery ship leaves Earth.

Back on the street the Doctor bins the sonic pen as Penny — still tied to a chair — flees the building, unable to cope with what's been happening; comically running off still tied up, she yells that the two of them are mad and she will report them for "madness". Donna promptly starts hauling a ridiculous amount of luggage out of the car boot and shoving it into the Doctor's arms, saying she's been ready to go for ages.

The Doctor warns that it is a hard life but accepts her, saying that he just wants a mate. She misunderstands this to mean that he wants " to mate ", saying he's just a "long streak of nothing" and exclaiming, "Well, you're not mating with me , sunshine! For her first trip, Donna tells the Doctor she wants to go "two and a half miles , that way". Back at the allotments, Wilf is still puttering about when he spots a certain blue box flying overhead.

After first yelling for Donna, he takes a closer look through his telescope, and realises she's in the blue box, waving to him from the doorway — and so is the Doctor! He starts whooping and dancing around in delight as the TARDIS spins away into space , happy she found what she was after. Tardis Explore. Main episode list Classmates.

Storyline Edit. Independently of one another, the Doctor and Donna Noble are investigating Adipose Industries who claim to have created a revolutionary diet pill. The head of Adipose, Miss Foster, runs a pretty tight ship and they have been quite successful. Donna visits several people who have taken the pills and as advertised, the pills seem to be working.

Except of course for the person that virtually vanishes, excerpt for a strange little creature in the bathroom sink. The Doctor and Donna join up eventually and come to the realization that there is definitely something alien behind what is going on.

Did you know Edit. Trivia Howard Attfield did film some scenes as Donna's father, Geoff Noble, but became too unwell to continue and died during filming.

This episode was dedicated to him. Goofs The security guards shoot away the lock on the door, which they then kick down with no real effort. But the door would still be held in place by the hinges - they don't kick it with enough force to rip the hinges out, and even if they had, we can see that there's no damage on the hinge side of the door anyway to demonstrate their forcible removal. Quotes [mouthing words silently and exaggeratedly] The Doctor : Donna? The Doctor : How? User reviews 28 Review.

Top review. The Doctor finds a young woman. Donna looks at the pendant - a gold plated Adpiose pill. The Doctor does the same. No, we don't give away pens, sorry. No, I can't make an exception, no. And I just need a list of your customers. Could you print it off? Donna looks of the cubicle wall.

She sits down, and up pops the Doctor. Down he goes and up comes Donna. Last place I worked, the printer needed a code. They swap over. Miss Foster walks in with two guards.

The workers stand. It's not enough. I want one hundred sales per person per day. And if not, you'll be replaced. Because if anyone's good in trimming the fat, it's me. Back to it. Miss Foster leaves and the workers sit down again. Thanks, then. See you. Donna heads for the printer. The Doctor stands then sits again as Clare gives him a piece of paper. Oh, what's that? You be health, I'll be safety. But that contravenes er, paragraph five, subsection C.

Donna collects the printouts and leaves. The Doctor walks behind her to the printer and looks for his copies, then returns to Clare. I represent Adipose Industries, and you're on the list of our valued customers. I'm calling on behalf of Adipose Industries. Just need to ask you a few questions.

I've started the pills on Thursday. Five days later, I've lost eleven pounds. It's a new lease of life. Now, what do you think about these earrings. Do they work? I've lost fourteen kilos. You wake up, and it's disappeared overnight.

Well, technically speaking, it's gone by ten past one in the morning. Might as well weigh myself at the same time. I'm dumping him. I can do better than him now. Right, I won't be long. If the taxi beeps, give me a shout. Ten minutes past one, every night, bang on the dot without fail, the burglar alarm goes off. I've had experts in, I've had it replaced, I've even phoned Watchdog.

But no, ten past one in the morning, off it goes. I've given up looking. Have you got a cat flap? That's a yes. I've never bothered with it, really. I'm not a cat person. You're nothing like them. Cats getting inside the house? Stacy is in the bathroom. Donna takes the Adipose pendant out and examines it, then she twists it absentmindedly and Stacy's stomach growls. As Donna twiddles with the gold capsule, Stacey's abdomen moves around. An alarm goes off, and her computer screen shows the location.

Miss Foster uses her wrist-watch communicator. Tell you what, maybe you could lay off the pills for a week or so. The Doctor's three lobed gizmo beeps. Got to go. Bring them home. A black van with sirens and lights speeds out of the Adipose Industries car park. A jelly-baby shaped creature breaks off from Stacy's abdomen and jumps into the bathroom sink.

The little creature looks up at her. Activating full parthenogenesis. Miss Foster twiddles her own pendant. Another creature pops out of Stacy's body, then gurgles and waves at her.

What are you? Donna is at the foot of the stairs. Are you all right? I wouldn't mind a little visit myself. Everything all right in there? She knocks on the bathroom door. Do you mind if I pop to the loo? Lots of lumps are moving around below Stacy's clothes.

Oh my God, help me! Stacy has bolted the door on the inside. Stacy screams then her clothes fall to the floor, and lots of little creatures run out. When Donna burst in, she sees the last one on the window sill. It waves at her and jumps. The Doctor is following the signal on his gizmo.

He has to hit it a few times. The van arrives outside Stacy's home as Donna leaves by the back door and goes down the alleyway. The trail of knocked over dustbins tells her which way the creatures have gone.

The men from the van have used butterfly nets to collect the creatures, put them into containers and then the back of the van. They drive away past Donna, and nearly knock down the Doctor. He starts chasing it. A taxi pulls up by Donna. Thanks for nothing. He puts his For Hire sign back on and drives off. In the alleyway, mere yards from Donna, the Doctor loses the signal on his gizmo. Miss Foster is examining security footage on her computer screen. One touch and the capsule bio-tunes itself to it's owner, but someone must have introduced a second raw capsule.

Therefore, one of these people is a thief. There, oh yes, there she is. Now, what shall we do with her? Donna goes inside, and her mother calls out. A little later, Donna is sitting at the kitchen table with a mug of drink. Look at you. I mean, you're never gonna find a flat, not while you're on the dole. And its no good sitting there, dressed up, looking like you're job hunting. You've got to do something. It's not like the s. No one's unemployed these days except you. How long did that job with Health and Safety last?

Two days, and then you walk out. I have other plans. Well, I've not seen them. And it's no good sitting there dreaming. No one's going to come along with a magic wand and make your life all better. Up the hill. He's always up the hill.

Granddad is the newspaper seller from Voyage of the Damned, and he has got a nice set-up in his allotment shed. There is also a small telescope and a camp stool nearby. Donna walks up with a thermos. WILF: Aye, aye. Here comes trouble. WILF: Permission granted. Was she nagging you? Brought you a thermos. WILF: Oh, ta. At least, that's what it says in my little book.

Donna puts a tarpaulin on the ground next to him. WILF: Here, come and see. Come on. Here you go. Donna looks at the bright evening star. How far away is that? WILF: Oh, its about twenty six million miles. But we'll get there, one day. In a hundred years time we'll be striding out amongst the stars.

Jiggling about with all them aliens. Just you wait. WILF: It's all over the place these days. If I wait here long enough. WILF: Is that slang for something? If you ever see a little blue box flying up there in the sky, you shout for me, Gramps. Oh, you just shout. WILF: No, fair dos. You've had a funny old time of it lately. There was poor old what's his name, Lance, bless him, and that barmy old Christmas.

I wish you'd tell us what really happened. It's just, the things I've seen, sometimes I think I'm going mad. I mean, even tonight I was in a. Doesn't matter. You just, you seem to be drifting, sweetheart. I'm waiting.

WILF: What for? WILF: Same old story. A man! But, he's real. I've seen him. I've met him, just once, and then I let him fly away. WILF: Well, there you are. Go and find him. He's nowhere. WILF: Oi, not like you to give up. Do you know, I remember when you were about six years old, your mother said no holiday this year. So off you toddled, all on your own and you got on a bus to Strathclyde. We had the police after you and everything.

Ha, where's she gone, then. Where's that girl, hey? Because he's still out there, somewhere. And I'll find him, Gramps. Even if I have to wait a hundred years, I'll find him. The Doctor is examining his version of the pendant through a magnifying glass. Seems to be a bio-flip digital stitch, specifically for Then he realises he only talking to himself. Sylvia comes out of the house wearing a dressing gown and hair curlers. What you need it for? Donna parks in an alleyway near Adipose Industries, and leaves.

Then the Tardis materialises nearby. They both enter the building as they did before. The Doctor goes into a storage room and sonics the door locked.
