Martha Jones is the former companion of the Doctor that once travelled with him in 2007. Since then, she has received a boyfriend and possibly a marriage, but the actress, Freema Agyeman, has her own say of what she thinks about the new companion, Karen Gillian, who will travel the stars with Matt Smith in 2010.
She told Digital spy the following.
"I think she looks great! And you know what? She's like an amalgamation of all of us: she's rocking the Rose look, she's got the Catherine hair, she's Scottish like David, and we share a story - she had a small part in the series before she becomes companion, and I had a small part in the series before I became the companion too."
Martha Jones may return in the Doctor Who universe and even Torchwood, what do you think of Karen Gillian and Freemas opinon? Please comment
They tried to keep all the secrets hidden from the upcoming 2009 specials but they failed, and someone has discovered this photo and sent it online to show all of us. The picture includes David Tennant who is currently the Doctor, John Simm who was the previous Master, and finally a new comer, Timothy Dalton who seems to be wearing a Time Lord like clothing which means...The Time Lords are back. Oh my giddy aunt. Please comment on what you think about this, all appreciated.
