In what capped off a terribly awful episode of Doctor Who (Last of the Time Lords) was the surprise (to me anyway) departure of Martha Jones as the Doctor’s companion.
Martha has proven to be one of the most competent and intelligent companions the Doctor has ever had and as such it’s been a real joy to have her on the TARDIS, although her school girl crush on the Doctor was a bit overplayed. Now, the word is out, she will be back, but…
As Doctor Who’s Executive Producer and head writer, Russell T Davies notes: “Series three has gained outstanding reviews and Freema has been a huge part of that success, gaining rave notices for her portrayal of Martha. Now we are taking the character of Martha into brand new territory with a starring role in Torchwoodâ€.
What? Her character needed a little buggery before she could continue on in time and space? Seriously, Russell, Torchwood desperately needs help, but this isn’t the answer.
The Doctor will also have a new companion for the entire 13 week fourth series.
