“It is absolute rubbish that Freema Agyeman has been axed or sacked from Doctor Who. However we do not comment on future storylines.”
On a day where Freema should be celebrated in the press for her lovely first appearance on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, it instead has been horribly ruined by the cruelty of a tabloid desperate for attention by any means. While we are not an official voice for Freema, we would like to at least express our outrage against The Sun’s nonsense.
Having failed to cash in on their attempts to damage her established co-star, David Tennant, by trying to ignite and ride on rumours of his impending departure from Doctor Who, “The Sun” has turned their eye to a far easier target, an actress who has just barely gotten her momentum going in mainstream media and therefore can less easily defend herself.
Freema had been their darling until recently and they could not print enough nice things to say about her. But she seems to have outlived her usefulness to them since every other paper was also praising her and their voice was being drowned out. So “The Sun” has changed their tactics, now forming their words into a knife and trying to plunge it into her career for no apparent reason but for their own depraved gossip and readership numbers.
Rest assured, there is an ever growing list of logical reasons why what they say is hopelessly incorrect and full of falsehoods, including a recent statement* by Russell T. Davies that he hasn’t even written the Christmas Special yet, let alone any of series four. But The Sun made one glaring mistake in their attempt to trash Freema: there is no-one in the BBC that high in authority who would ever talk to them on that kind of topic. It just wouldn’t happen. Such a person would lose their lucrative job in a heartbeat, it wouldn’t be worth risking discovery.
To attempt to poison Freema’s fanbase by eroding the will to commit to her character emotionally is nothing short of a crime in our book. It’s bad behaviour expected from a bully, not from any entity claiming to be “press”.
So in conclusion, all we can do is ask you to boycott The Sun. There is simply no reason to read it anyway and if this is going to be their new trend why do you need such negativity in your day? Entire towns have successfully boycotted The Sun, we dare say a fandom can do so as well. We are compiling a list of their associated products and companies to boycott, as well as previous claims by them that were complete fabrications so that you may more readily defend yourself against their rubbish and will publish it as soon as reasonably possible. Ask your friends and family to join this action.
We thank you for your loyalty to Freema.
Update: The BBC have now given us a short statement Saturday morning strongly denying The Sun’s claim, which has been placed at the top of this page. In addition at the end of the day we received further confirmation from other solid sources (which unfortunately we cannot name) who assure us that The Sun’s article is untrue.
* Russell T. Davies told Ariel in an interview at the end of April:
“Don’t be stupid, I haven’t even written the script yet ”
The Daily Star reports on 2 June: Freema’s agent confirms she is in series 4
when i read it i nearlly cried! now the bbc hav declared that it is not true! im gonna cry with joy!!!
The Sun is a horrible rag of a newspaper. If you don’t buy it, don’t start now… no matter what kind of freebies they entice you with. If you never bought it, continue on not buying it.
Freema seems to be taking a leaf out of David’s book and not entertaining the notion of Tabloid/Heat/Chat/Bella notoriety by having her personal life splashed all over the media. They tracked down her boyfried, despite her requests for privacy and now they seem to be trying to wangle an exclusive out of a hateful article. This is the way the Scum works. Avoid it like the plague.
I hope Freema knows there’s a huge amount of support for her performance as Martha. I honestly have enjoyed her stint on Who, so far, and I’m looking forward to at least another series with her in situ as Companion.
They should BURN!!
Thank Goodness she is staying
I wouldnt even wipe my bottom with the trashy paper the Sun is printed on
I’ve always hated the sun, but this is just a step too far. Really, if I did buy it I’d stop now, trust me.
Not, lol!!!
I mean it’s the Sun, for goodness sake - it’s on the same level as the US trash tabloids that report on a regular basis that a truck driver from Arkansas is having Elvis’s alien love child!! 
I applaud the admins on here for taking this stand, well done you!
Excellent editorial, Kasterborous are right behind you on this - looking forward to the boycott list
Only one good thing came from this for me~ my sisters were still unsure if they liked Martha as much as Rose. After this, they realised how much they did like Martha! So there you have it “Sun”~ your attempt at trying to get Martha less appreciated by fans has only made more fans! Ha!
I’m not from the uk but I want to boycott the sun, too!!!
But YAY! Martha’s staying! I wouldn’t mind the doctor searching for her as long as he’d find her in the end!
