:The '''fact''' that Donna literally says that it happened in the year 2008 proves that you are wrong. I know that the whole 'taking a place a year later' makes more logical sense, but you can't really deny what Donna herself says on screen.

Story notes
In the story notes, there is a notation (and a picture) about the first time a person is seen defecating in a Doctor Who story. Isn't it more likely that Donna stretches her back and neck after hideing in the toilet cubicle all day? I am rufus 08:39, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
It was vandalism, Ive removed it Bigshowbower 10:14, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
Necklace
How come the "Adipose Pendant" didn't biotune itself to Donna? Could it be residual Arton Energy? Microscopic Huon Particles that can't be picked up by sonic? Or could it be because she hadn't taken a pill? It just seems irresponsible considering it's possible that someone could just twist a pendant without even touching the pill and it would induce birth in the nearest "surrogate".

- At the very end. Donna asks her to tell her mom where the keys to her car are. 208.71.235.4talk to me 01:50, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
Visual gaffe
Look closely. When Miss Foster is questioning the journalist she captured (the famous scene where the Doctor and Donna first see each other and silently mouth a conversation together), if you look closely in several shots the soldiers (played by extras) are replaced with mannequins holding guns. 208.71.235.4talk to me 01:50, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
This episode takes place in 2008
Why does this page say that this episode takes place in London in the year 2009? Donna says in The Fires of Pompeii that this episode is set in the year 2008. She comes from the present day so there is no chance she would have got that wrong. Scoobydooman90001 ☎ 16:13, May 10, 2017 (UTC)
- "Rose" is set in March 2005 (Rose's missing poster says she disappeared 6 March 2005). Rose disappears with the Doctor for a year before returning in "Aliens of London" (so March 2006). A Christmas after that, Christmas 2006 or later, is shown in "The Christmas Invasion", when the Sycorax attack. The next Christmas is shown in "The Runaway Bride", when the Racnoss attacks, and Donna meets the Doctor. So that's Christmas 2007 at earliest. Finally, "Voyage of the Damned" is yet another Christmas, so Christmas 2008. Wilf mentions in that episode that the last two Christmases were the events of "Invasion" and "Bride". Wilf recognizes the Doctor from their brief encounter in "Voyage" in this episode ("Partners").--Trebligoniqua ☎ 22:08, April 16, 2018 (UTC)
Removed paragraph from lead
- Similar to Rose and Martha, Donna was living her life when the Doctor ran into her. However, unlike them, she was actually trying to find the Doctor. Unlike the two of them, Donna instead built a strong friendship with the Doctor instead of falling in love with him.
Many problems and much confusion here. "Living her life" is incredibly vague to the point of meaningless. The second sentence is directly contradicted by the first, especially considering her investigation of Adipose Industries is specifically to find the Doctor. Not to mention that Donna first ran into the Doctor at the end of Doomsday when she was teleported inside the TARDIS, not in Partners in Crime. As well as this, what does the character of Donna as a whole (who neither debuts nor first features prominently in this episode) have to do with the production and narrative information about Partners in Crime? -- Tybort (talk page) 17:35, October 1, 2017 (UTC)
