Synopsis

Attending a carnival on the "Chino-planet of Shan Shen" exposes the Doctor and Donna to flags, pagodas and local colour. But when cajoled to have her fortune read for free, Donna's past is carefully examined - for a specific single event. Meanwhile, something creeps towards Donna's back.[2]

With Donna's world collapsing around her, this time the Doctor cannot help -- only a woman thought lost in a parallel world can. The Darkness is coming as Rose Tyler and Donna team up before it is too late.

Production
