Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary Ending Pleasantly Surprised Catherine Tate

Catherine Tate reveals that Doctor Who's heartwarming 60th-anniversary ending was the opposite of what she expected from Donna Noble's return.

Catherine Tate was surprised by the ending of Doctor Who's 60th-anniversary special but ultimately agrees that ending in a calm, normal life was the right choice for her character, Donna.
Donna's potential fate had been speculated, but she ultimately survives, recovers, and settles down with the Doctor and their family in France for a peaceful life.
While the Fourteenth Doctor is content to live a grounded life, it is possible that other members of the Noble family, such as Rose Noble, may encounter future Doctor incarnations in upcoming adventures.
