Weren't these love letters from Ben Horne to Eileen Hayward ?

I for one always thought that Ben Horne was Donna's father. The last
episode was merely confirmation of this "hunch". Donna and Audrey even look
somewhat alike ... not very, but there ARE some similarities there.

The "Doctor" was actually Dr Will Hayward, Donna's "father" in the
series, ie father at least by name and who lives with Donna and her mother.
When Donna hugs him and says "You're my daddy", I think that she has just
realised that Ben actually is, but the whole situation is too horrible and
sudden for her to handle (on top of all the other stuff that's been 
happening in her life recently) and she is really saying "No ... this can't be
true ... YOU are really my Daddy aren't you ? Please say yes ..." etc.

I'm fairly certain it is Ben, at least that's what we're led to believe.

For the answers to the last 3 questions, see any of the recent movie
previews posted on this group (warning: they contain spoilers !!!  :-))
