The character was based partly on Catherine Tate 's Donna Noble, from "The Runaway Bride," and as it turned out, Catherine was interested in making a return to the show.
In this story, Penny Carter is the name of the journalist investigating Adipose Industries, a character whose primary role is to make Donna look good, and reinforce the idea that the Doctor chooses his companions most carefully.

He also looked at the idea of an invasion of thousands of terrifying canine aliens called Vorlax , who would come to Earth via a portal in an abandoned house in London. A previous plan of capturing an area of London under a huge dome similar to the plot of The Simpsons movie was later transferred to "The Sontaran Stratagem," albeit on a more global scale. The appearance of the Adipose named after adipose tissue, the proper name for body fat was based on a stuffed toy belonging to Davies, but he also wanted them to look like cute blocks of lard, along the lines of the Pillsbury Doughboy but less human shaped.

She also cameoed in Partners in Crime where she appears to just be keeping an eye on the Doctor: Donna then calls her mum to say she's put the car keys in a certain bin for her to collect before asking a blonde girl to tell her mother, "that bin there"; the girl is Rose Tyler.
