I heard that the Sontarans are going to be in the next series of Doctor Who. - Page 7

Martha is going to the darkside for a while and joining Torchwood for a few episodes before going back to Dr Who in the later half of next series but there will be another companion for the entire run who is yet to be anounced.

This is a bad decision, imo.

Arse.

I thought Freema got much more into the role towards the end of the series, it's a real shame she's stepped down.

Goose · 04-07-2007, 10:33

She was improving, for sure. I still think Sally Sparrow should be there instead.

Tak · 04-07-2007, 10:37

Freema is meant to be doing 3 eps of TW and rejoining DW half way thru season 4.

Making her just the love-sick girl was a bit tedious but they had finally started to expand on her character and she buggers off :/

What with Spike having a guest spot in TW I'm slightly worried that its just going to focus on whichever new person is in for that ep and ignore the main characters.

Tate is a bad idea imo - the xmas special wasn't bad but I can't imagine her week in week out - most of the "characters" she has done annoy the hell out of me after a short period of time.

And what is with Kylie? It does seem very "lets throw some big names in just because we can" which, to me, shouldn't be what draws in DW viewers.

I can pretty much forgive anything for the Christmas Specials, they seem to be just a bit of fun really and I have no problem with them throwing names at it.

Goose · 04-07-2007, 10:41

Kylie is a good thing. She used to act and has a nice bottom.

I wonder if they are trying to get more people to watch TW. It needs to be far more adult tbh. Lets see some proper scary violence.

100% agree. I never felt Martha Jones had any real point. She seemed like someone who fell for the Doctor and her role was basically "Not-Rose". However, the choice of Tate is terrible when Sally Sparrow was so perfect.

I just popped onto an popular IT website to look at the comments on this story. Every single one is negative, no-one wants CT. Everyone is saying that 'Blink' was one of the better episodes and Carey Mulligan deserves the role.

Oh well...

Blink was my favourite this series. S2 it was the girl in the mirror. Both by the same writer. He really shows, to me, how Dr Who could really be done. Intelligently wrote, funny, and a bit scary too. "Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff"

I guess the problem with Sally Sparrow is that the episode was also about her relationship with video store guy. For the Dr to suddenly appear and whisk her away from that might ruin the ending of that episode.
