Donna's World (a.k.a "Turn Right") was a rewritten version of the official timeline created when Donna Noble turned right instead of left while deciding which of two different job interviews to attend. As a result, the Doctor never met Donna and died underneath the Thames Barrier. He also never met Martha Jones. These events resulted in devastating effects for Earth and the universe.

While on the planet Shan Shen, Donna was unknowingly fitted with a time beetle, part of the Trickster's Brigade. A fortune teller selected a point in her life where making seemingly random choice had enormous ramifications.
In June 2007 Donna had to make a choice between two jobs. The moment she chose between the jobs was at a junction. Her agency had offered her a contract with H.C. Clements, which while temporary, was posh and in the centre of London, which Donna enjoyed. Her mother, Sylvia Noble, had managed to get her another job opportunity to become the personal secretary of Jival Chowdry, owner of a photocopying business. Although this would be a permanent job, Donna found it less interesting.
While driving and in discussing the dilemma, Sylvia pressured her into turning right to stop by Jival Chowdry for a chat. While in the regular timeline Donna ignored her mother and turned left, in this timeline she turned right, resulting in her taking the PA job. (DW: Turn Left)
The Doctor tracks down the Empress of the Racnoss to the Torchwood base underneath the Thames Barrier and blows it up, which floods the whole thing. Although the Empress of the Racnoss and her offspring drown, the Doctor is unable to escape and dies too quickly to regenerate. Donna stumbles across Rose Tyler, who has arrived on the scene too late to do anything. The Doctor's TARDIS is salvaged from under the Thames and sent to a UNIT base in Leeds. (DW: Turn Left)
The Judoon H2O Scoop the Royal Hope Hospital to the Moon to find a Plasmavore criminal and her Slab accomplices. Although they found and killed the alien criminals, the Plasmavore had already armed the MRI. Sarah Jane Smith, Luke Smith, Maria Jackson, and Clyde Langer, who had been in the hospital when it was transported, managed to disarm it; but they died, along with the rest of the hospital, when their oxygen ran out. The only survivor was Oliver Morgenstern who was passed the last oxygen tank by medical student Martha Jones, who gave up her life to save him. (DW: Turn Left)
Rose Tyler visits Donna and advises her to persuade her family to spend Christmas some place other than London. (DW: Turn Left)
A replica of the Titanic crash-lands onto Buckingham Palace and destroys the Greater London Area and floods the whole of Southern England with radiation. Donna's family, who did decide not to stay in London for the holidays, having won a luxury getaway in a raffle, watch the events on television and are able to see the mushroom cloud of the explosion from a distance. (DW: Turn Left)
England has come under martial law in order to deal with the crisis caused by the nuclear explosion. The United States promises fifty billion pounds in financial help for Great Britain but this plan has to be abandoned when sixty million Americans are fully converted into Adipose children. Miss Foster's plan is not only successful, but sixty times as successful as was planned in the real world.
The Sontarans activate the ATMOS devices in the cars to convert Earth into a breeding ground. The surviving members of the Torchwood 3 team work (presumably with UNIT) to stop the scheme. The team destroys the Sontaran flagship and successfully revert the atmosphere to its previous state, but Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones die in the attempt; Jack Harkness, being immortal, survives and is captured by the Sontarans and transported to Sontar as a prisoner. Britain is largely unaffected due to its poverty and hence its lack of vehicles with ATMOS devices. Rose Tyler once more appears to Donna to try to persuade her to help change back the timeline. (DW: Turn Left)
Roughly three weeks after the Sontaran Invasion, the British government makes a new law ("England for the English") forcing all non-British citizens in Britain to go to "labour camps". Donna's grandfather laments that "he never thought he would see this happen again", and and when Donna chides him, saying that they are just relocation camps, he replies that "that's what they said last time". Soon afterwards, the stars begin going out. (DW: Turn Left)
Rose Tyler, through methods and reasoning unknown, is working with UNIT on reverse-engineering the TARDIS, creating a time machine with which Rose hopes to restore the timeline.
UNIT and Rose Tyler sent Donna back to the point where the timelines diverged. According to Rose, in order to restore the timeline, Donna had to make her past self turn left instead of right at the point where she decided whether to follow her mother's advice or her own instincts. Donna arrives in 2007, but too far away from her past self to directly influence her; instead, she orchestrates an accident by stepping out in front of a lorry, which blocks traffic and forces the earlier Donna to turn left. Just before her death, Rose Tyler appears and whispers a message for her to give the Doctor when the timeline is fully restored. (DW: Turn Left)
