Midnight and Turn Left were absolutely fantastic and redeemed that season for me. I couldn't quite work out who the blonde lady was in Midnight, until I looked it up online. Mrs Doyle! And she was incredible.

Donna was however, much better than I remember. She's loud, brash, and really doesn't give a strawberry float. I'm glad they moved away from the love interest type of character.
