Martha Jones is reunited with Captain Jack Harkness as she teams up with Torchwood to help them solve a series of mysterious deaths in Cardiff - coming to BBC Two in January - we can’t wait, she looks fantastic! 
New face for Torchwood, New look for Martha
Pictured here as she steps into the Hub for the first time, a more grown up and worldly-wise Martha brings her medical knowledge and the expertise learnt during her travels with The Doctor to help Torchwood do battle against an alien threat.
Freema Agyeman says: “Martha has grown up a lot since Doctor Who. She’s now a fully qualified doctor and a bit hardened by life experiences. When she finds out that Captain Jack needs her help, she joins Torchwood for a while. She continues to develop her knowledge of alien intelligence, but this time keeping her feet on the ground.
“These will be invaluable skills to take back with her on future adventures with The Doctor. She outgrew The Doctor, in a sense, and so the next time they meet it will be in a more professional capacity. I’m so proud of her journey and who she has become.
“And for me as an actress, it’s a great new challenge to be able to broaden and expand Martha as she develops in other directions for this more adult series. The Torchwood team are fabulous to work with and have made me very welcome.”
Creator of Torchwood, Russell T Davies, says: “Freema is a wonderful actress and we want to give her the chance to add another dimension to Martha. She is going to cause some waves in the team – especially as she joins Torchwood at a point when everything is going to change for one of them.”
Freema is one of many special guest stars appearing in the new series of Torchwood.
Richard Briers is the latest to join the line-up, playing Parker, a reclusive millionaire who is the keeper of alien secrets, much later in the series.
Alan Dale (Ugly Betty, Lost) and James Marsters (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) have also been confirmed.
The second series of Torchwood begins on BBC Two in the New Year and Martha will be starring half way through the series, appearing in three episodes.
Torchwood is executive produced by Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner, Head of Drama, BBC Wales. The producer is Richard Stokes and the series is filmed in Cardiff.
DB, I agree The Avengers was ahead of its time. I remember enjoying that show very much. There were at least two Emmas weren’t there? Diana Rigg was probably the most famous. For some reason I’m trying to recall the title theme song but can’t…
Yes, I really hope Freema lands a great film role. She does look great in that photo above.
I can’t wait for Torchwood. I think I’m looking forward to that more than the Christmas Doctor Who special. I wonder why?
(editor’s note: post edited to remove link - referenced site took virtually all photos from here and just cropped out the logo - also they have nudity on that site so it’s not suitable for linking, sorry)
Just been watching human nature/family of blood again and she totally outshines DT & JH the moment that always gets me is when there in the hall and she says to the doctor “i think you should walk your lady friend home - when really she wants him to stay -
Editor: Sorry about that link you edited out. Right after I posted it, I was thinking that I shouldn’t have used that link or I should have pointed directly to the Freema page but that still would have pointed linkers to inappropriate pages anyway (Obviously, there wasn’t anything inappropriate about Freema’s pics).
Again sorry.
theres going to be a torchwood mag in january
Will be great to see Freema Agyeman back on tv
JUST SEEN RUNAWAY BRIDE EPISODE ON BBC3 GOD I HOPE SHE WON’T BE SPEAKING LIKE THAT IN S4

O.M.G Martha looks beatiful
ON THE MARTHA/OWEN THING, IF MARTHA IS IN A RELATIONSHIP BY THE TIME SHE HOOKS UP WITH THE DOCTOR THEN SURELY SHE’LL BE IN THAT SAME RELATIONSHIP WHEN JACK NEEDS HER HELP
