Even though this news was leaked ages long before the War Doctor news came out, it still feels good to have it officially confirmed. The Tenth Doctor was never better than when he was alongside Donna Noble and it's another reason to buy the audios if you don't already do so.
When The Runaway Bride first aired I didn't particularly like Donna. The character seemed loud and annoying. Like a character from Catherine Tate's comedy sketches rather than a proper character. Her only decent moment was when she slapped the Doctor. When it was later announced that she would be succeeding Martha Jones I wasn't very happy. Fortunately, when Series 4 came along, they'd toned the character down a little. She was a little older and wiser than the previous two companions and could bring the Doctor down to earth. Catherine Tate worked really well alongside David Tennant and by the end of the series I was sad to see her go. The Tenth Doctor and Donna had become one of my favourite Doctor/Companion teams of the show's history. In my personal canon, Donna's memory lock is broken and she finds a way to go off into the stars to have further, solo, adventures.
It's not quite as surprising that David Tennant is doing Big Finish plays. He's appeared in them long before he became the Doctor, so it felt like it was only a matter of time before he came to do more.
With the War Doctor and the Tenth Doctor it can only be a matter of time before Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith takes part in audio adventures. With news of Series 10 still sketchy this is further evidence that Big Finish will be leading Doctor Who in 2016.
