Other realities
Sylvia Noble knew of Jival Chowdry through her friend, Suzette. In June 2007, she successfully persuaded her daughter to accept an introduction for a job as a secretary in his photocopy business, instead of going to H.C. Clements.
He ran a photocopy business in Merchant Street, London, and hired Donna as his secretary.
Mr Chowdry promoted Donna six months later, giving her a new role as his personal assistant. However, the draining of the River Thames by the Tenth Doctor caused a downturn in his business. He sacked her in 2008, and when Donna was sacked she threatened to tell people about Chowdry's "wandering hands".
