Doctor Who News - Casting Spoiler - Click at own risk!

News.

While I'm not sure what to think of this, I do like the idea of an older companion. I liked Donna in "The Runaway Bride", but I'm just a bit surprised that they didn't follow their sweet young thing trend. Series four should be very, very interesting.

Can we plz no has romance? Kthxbi.

This is less pleasing to me because I found her teeth-grindingly irritating in the Christmas special. If they tone down her screaming, I might be able to stand her. But if she's as screechy as in the special? Not so much.

Her teeth bothered me too, and so did the shrieking, but hopefully she won't be as harsh in that regard. I did like her character though since she really knew how to push his buttons and stand up to him.

Her standing up to him and not mooning over him would be most welcome. Her loud and irritating voice, not so much.

That would be lovely, wouldn't it? I've had enough mooning with series three to last me a while. Martha could have been so much better if they hadn't written her that way. Like I said in my review of LotTL, I'm glad she told him the real reason she couldn't go off with him anymore.

Totally agree. In fact, I think Martha could have been a fun companion if they'd taken this last year for them to just get to know one another, and allowed the relationship to grow. I'm not sure what RTD was thinking when he developed Martha's character.
