Partners in Crime is the season opener for Series 4 with David Tennant and Catherine Tate. The episode is very good for humour, and does a great job of reintroducing Donna as the new companion. The plot's a bit simple but solid. It doesn't have the oomph I like a season opener to have (better than New Earth though). It is quite slow and not a huuuge amount happens. Smith and Jones last season introduces the new companion but also reintroduces the Doctor brilliantly whereas here I don't think it really says much about the Doctor. It's a good set up for the series and great intro to Donna and her fam but as a standalone I do think it's a bit lacking
