Freema Agyeman will be joining David Tennant in the TARDIS for the 2007 series, the BBC has announced. You may remember her from such TV series as Coronation Street and The Bill, and from such Doctor Who episodes as last Saturday’s, in which she was taken over by the Cybermen, killed by the Doctor and had her brains spill out.
It makes sense then that the new companion is a different character. Martha Jones will join the Doctor at the beginning of series 3, but won’t be in the 2006 Christmas special (“We’ve got another surprise in store for that,” says Russell The Davies). First, though, there is the matter of the current companion, Rose Tyler, who’s fate will be revealed this Saturday in an episode that has a stonking cliffhanger from last week to resolve…
Does anyone still watch it? I assumed with the departure of Eccleston that would be the end of things, all bar the shouting. New one looks like he’d be better employed as the narrator for Teletubbies or something similar.
Blasphemy!
I much prefer Tennant to Eccleston, in spite of Love & Monsters.

…and then became Jade Goody.
I actually gasped at the end of last week’s ep. Even though I realised what was in the sphere (’cause I’d heard the rumours a while ago). Not much makes me gasp these days.
