Freema Fans Ask: Will Martha Meet Rose?

As Freema Agyeman returns to Doctor Who filming next week until Christmas, there has been a great deal of coverage elsewhere over the past two days that a certain previous companion will somehow reappear in series four. Whilst it’s obvious that Rose has no idea about Martha, it’s rather interesting that (to the best of our knowledge) Freema has never even met Billie Piper: at the end of series two they filmed on difference schedules and had no shared scenes - both actresses have also mentioned in interviews since, to have never met.

Torchwood Series 2 on BBC America January 26

The BBC has yet to announce the January UK transmit date for Torchwood series two on BBC2, but it is now apparent that it may be quite early in the year since it will be shown in the USA starting on Friday 26th January at 9pm on BBC America.

This means we’ll see Freema sooner than ever in February as it is believed her three episode appearance will start with episode five or six, entitled “Reset”.

Joined by Freema Agyeman (Doctor Who’s Martha Jones) for three episodes and with guest stars Richard Briers (Monarch Of The Glen), Alan Dale (Ugly Betty, Neighbours) and James Marsters (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Torchwood journey from contemporary Cardiff to the 51st century, and back to the First World War. On their travels, they battle fearsome new aliens; a rogue Time Agent; a tragic Time-Slip from the Great War; and a memory thief who uncovers long-forgotten secrets among the entire team.

Update: Freema *Will* Be On Omid Djalili Show

Omid DjaliliWe’ve had several fans enquire if that is Freema in the BBC1 advert for a future Omid Djalili Show. Apparently they will do a Doctor Who sketch next month with Omid as a “Dalek”.
Sorry, we’ve confirmed Freema is not on the show.

Update: Confusion reigns as fan soffmills points out Freema is listed in Radio Times. So we’re double-checking to find out what’s really going on.

The final word: Freema will indeed appear on The Omid Djalili Show on Saturday 1st December. This was filmed awhile back so apologies for the incorrect information from our contacts who were not updated! (more…)

A Year Ago Today: Freema On Children In Need


<br /><small>(sorry, your browser doesn&#8217;t seem to support the video directly)</small>

We’re sad that she won’t be part of this Appeal Night tonight but we fondly remember a year ago today, when we got our first live glimpse of Freema in costume as Martha Jones.

New Martha Jones Model From Airfix

Airfix (Britain’s oldest scale model kit company) is about to release a Doctor Who giftset just in time for Christmas which includes a fantastic new model of Martha Jones complete with The Doctor and TARDIS!

Depending on your kit painting skills, this has the potential to appear very realistic because it is built to scale, as demonstrated in these photos (taken by “Donlock”). In this version Martha Jones stands nearly 16cm (6.3″) tall!

The 24cm (9.4″) TARDIS has a chip to give it light and sound effects.

The kit can be preordered at Wonderland Models or Hannants for £24.99 (EU) or £21.27 (export).

(thanks to Barney for this news and
Steven for the shops/pricing)

Torchwood S2 Filming Finishes - Transmit Date?

There is news out of Cardiff that principal photography for Torchwood series two has been finished. There still remains some “pickup shots” between John Barrowman (Captain Jack) and James Marsters, and there is a great deal of CG work for The Mill to accomplish, but it’s exciting to realise we are now closer than ever to seeing Freema Agyeman on the telly again soon.

Now we are left to guess an airdate for the new series, and that’s become easier to do based on the fact that John Barrowman’s autobiography will be published 24th January. He will likely do a publicity tour for that and the BBC might have a transmit date around those appearances. Perhaps 27th January if Torchwood remains on Sunday (after moving from BBC3 to BBC2).

One subtle but important difference is the commentary on the final episode “Last of the Timelords”. Region 1 NTSC North American release Region 2 PAL UK release (more…)
