ysobelleSome extra bits from Wikipedia that touch on what we were discussing before:
Russell T. Davies originally planned to show Davros prior to his crippling accident and to reveal how this happened.[5] Davies wrote in the original script that Doctor-Donna would use a standard QWERTY keyboard when she takes control of the Daleks but Production Designer Edward Thomas pointed out that Daleks have suckers and so would be unable to use a QWERTY keyboard. Instead Thomas designed the controls seen in the episode.[17]
Also according to the original script, the Doctor was to give Rose's Doctor a small piece of "coral" from the TARDIS so that he could grow his own TARDIS.[5]
In the BBC commentary for this episode, Phil Collinson and Julie Gardner describe a brief additional scene with Donna which was cut from the final episode:
"There was an additional Donna bit after this goodbye from the Doctor, which is when he goes outside into the TARDIS, we cut back into the kitchen, and there's a moment where Donna hears the TARDIS... there's a moment of realisation, and then she turns back round and carries on talking into the phone."
Gardner considered this scene "untruthful" and too confusing, since Donna remembering would lead to her death, and since she didn't recognise the Doctor it wouldn't make sense to assume she would recognise the noise of the TARDIS.[18]
