Heh, sounds more like the rumours of her not being too popular were true.
Nice bit of spin doctoring though!

I HATE Russel T Davies.
Those Episodes in general SUCKED!!!!!!
The whole fucking season was fucking great except for the few he wrote. I hope he slips and falls in a puddle of aids. I liked everything except the last episode. Doctor Jesus is just silly...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2007/07/02/46692.shtml Relax - she's coming back, and branching out too...
While the final episode of Series Three, screened last Saturday , saw The Doctor's companion Martha leave to care for her devastated family, and to break the cycle of unrequited love she feels for The Doctor, the production team has now confirmed that the character is set to make a triumphant return in the fourth series.
Freema Agyeman is also set to join the cast of Torchwood, where she will continue to play the character in three new episodes before returning to Doctor Who in the middle of the fourth series.
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 Torchwood".
"I can't wait to start filming on Torchwood and the new series of Doctor Who," said Freema. "It's a huge new challenge for me and I'm delighted Russell has decided to expand the character of Martha Jones.'"
The new announcement leaves a vacant space in the TARDIS. A new companion for The Doctor, who will join the new series for the entire 13 week run, will be announced shortly. I figured she wouldn't be gone to long. While I didn't care for everything in the final episode of series 3, it was nice seeing Martha be the hero. Her time as a companion has been an extra-ordinarally tough one in retrospect where she doesn't get to rely on the Doc like previous companions but the reverse. I could she her coming back & maybe find the Doctor pining away for her. Glad she'll be doing some Torchwood. The more companions on that show the better! I noticed on the second to last episode there was a clip from a Doctor Who cartoon. The animation didn't look bad from the snippet I saw. Anyone see it & is it any good?
Fair play!

I haven't seen the animated show yet. I heard it's properly voiced, though. That's good.
You know, I've always thought Torchwood would have worked much, much better with Jack, Yoshi, Gwen...and then some former companions of The Doctor. It just makes sense that a group like that would want all the firsthand experience it could get. Get Sarah-Jane (journalist/adventurer), Professor Liz Shaw (physicist), Dorothy "Ace" McShane (demolitions expert), and even Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart as Jack's boss. They should be defending Earth against old and new Who threats. Now THAT would make a kick-ass show!
Also, wouldn't you think Torchwood would be a good avenue to have past-Doctor appearances? Paul McGann's Doc seems to be the most obvious, given that his incarnation seems to lend itself to Torchwood's adult-ish tone.
Also, I'd fire RTD from it, and let real writers take over.

It's amazing how fast Season Three is starting over here. It just got through in the UK last Saturday! Even still, I prefer to see the episodes through other means than Sci-Fi. I hate some edited-for-time and commercials bullshit...

Finally! That was always weird about how that was released in the US about three or four years ago, but not in the UK. Must have been payback for not allowing us to get Paul McGann's movie, even though it was filmed over here. And, I'm looking forward to Tate, man. Not every character has to be tits-and-ass. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Martha's coming back in the middle of the season...

They wont be able to help themselves in constantly playing every show for laughs, and they just wont be funny, just like mist of Tates repetitive shitty material!

Damn,those two episodes were awesome! I love Miss. Jones!
I'll never, ever tire of seeing the TARDIS disappear into a new adventure..
Anxious to see how everyone else liked the shows tonight.

Runaway Bride : 9/10 (The Racnoss spider-chick was a bit over-the-top for me. Everything else was fun. Loved Donna.) Smith & Jones : 10/10 (Flawless intro to the new companion, love the new companion, enjoyed the Judoon, Tennant's has really figured out how to play his Doctor...he's found the 'medium-range' of being freaky. I'm digging him. Not sure about the blue suit. But, I like how it's just a kind of back-and-forth thing. Sometimes he wears it. Sometimes he doesn't.) Good stuff! Cunty, I'm not sure what the Tate season will be like. But, I sincerely doubt they'll play the entire thing for laughs. With her and Martha together, it's really shaping up to be a '5th Doctor' crew; Tegan (Donna), and Nyssa (Martha). All they need to do is bring back Adam (Adric) from Season One, and kill him off. Then the circle will be complete...

Tegan's role in Dr Who can be defined in one sentence:
: " Doctor, I've seen enough, let's get out of here, now!"

just flipped over from the Family Guy marathon. I'll give 'em a look since the consensus seems to be season 3 is a lot better than 2.

Pretty much...

Indeed. It gets darker as the season goes. Mind you, there's a two-parter coming up, though, that you can completely avoid (episodes 4 & 5 I think...I'll let you know). They're just plain silly. The rest is damn near gold...

is it just me, or is he trying to take McGann's place as the "romantic" Doctor? he's drawing some serious interest from the ladies. wonder if that's also a holdover from Casanova.

no, there's another episode on now.
he's showing a little more emotional range, too. he seems to have incorporated a bit of Eccleston's sadness.
