Bronzethumb (from Australia) says
Martha all the way! At the very least, Martha was a better Companion to Tennant’s Doctor than Rose was (she was far better suited to Eccleston). But I’d even go so far as to say she’s better than Rose full-stop.
Greg says
Freema Agyeman is great in my opinion – better than Billie Piper. I was sure I wouldn’t be a fan but was happy to be proved wrong.
What I’m not a fan of is the way the BBC seems intent on changing things on a whim lately (if rumors are to be believed).
Lambo says
I will always adore Rose. I don’t have a problem with Martha, I like Martha.
However…..
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
I don’t thinks it was the case of the BBC not liking Martha. IF you watch the last show, and the podcast you can download from the BBC, Martha is leaving, but not leaving. Apparently, July 2, there is going to be a news release about Martha.

The poll should have had another choice – “Anyone but Billie Piper.”
Tom Boucher says
Freema has really come into her own I believe. I’m not much for wanting people who bailed on the show to come back, and thta’s how it read about Billie. She wanted out, let her go and don’t let the door hit her on the way out 😛

This went up on the BBC site today:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2007/07/02/46692.shtml
Highlights are:-
1. New companion for all 13 episodes of series 4
2. Martha appearing in three epsiodes of Torchwood series 2
3. Martha returning for the second half of series 4 alongside the new companion
Michael in Nashville says
If you’ve seen the last episode of series three, you will know that…
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, really…..SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Martha decided to leave as a full-time companion…but she gave the Doctor her cell phone and said she’d call him if she needed him. I have a feeling Martha will be calling the Doctor sooner rather than later.
Personally, I think Tenant and Agyeman had a better give and take than did Tenant and Piper. But who knows who we’ll see next as the companion…but I think bringing Piper back would be a huge mistake.
Aryana in Australia says
BRING BACK ROSE! I adore her…she suited the doctor done to a tee. I like Martha, but no where as much as Rose. I really don’t understand some peoples intense dislike of Billie Piper since she left?? Some people said she was very clingy in series 3, I don’t think so, i think she was behaving like someone in love and she pulled her weight through the series as well and didn’t hang off the doctor all the time.
But thats just MHO.
Bin bag says
Are you crazy? Billie was the best companian ever!! I oder you to BRING BILLIE BACK!!
time duchess says
Ok so here is the thing.
Martha was too shiny. She did not love the doctor. SHe was from a middle class family and bright. She was used to gettign what she wanted and being a golden child. Her want for the dr was a spoiled kid who wanted what she couldnt have.
Rose had nothing but dreams and loyalty. Everyone can relate to Rose. SHe was ‘oh so human’. Her cruelty matched the doctors as well because they were both a lil self righteous.In an eccleston epside rose shouts you will be waiting for mne like u awlays. They were both a lone at the right time.
The next companion should be somone who doenst really like the doctor maybe stuck on the tardis against his will or summit.
ANYWAY I SAY WE GET ONTO THE SUN TO GET A BRING BACK BILL CAMPAIGN GOING.
KEEP DAVID BILLY AND RUSSEL T DAVIES. PAY THEM WHATEVER THEY WANT
SLATE THE TATE SLATE THE TATE
Pringles says
I think rose is great & yeah they are brining her back, & martha. So I think series 4 will be the best yet. I want to buy it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. i am a HUGE doctor who fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rosemartha says
I used to love martha but now i like rose!
Freya says
I love Martha. Because she is perfectly suited to Tenth Doctor better than Rose was. I don’t hate Rose or Billy Piper, but I just prefer Martha. Okies
