It was revealed during the commentary for Last of the Timelords that there is to be an announcement about the future of Martha Jones on Monday.

I'm hoping that she's joining the Torchwood team, replacing that tw*t Owen as team medic :thumbsup:

I've heard rumours that she'll be in DW for a few episodes and will turn up in Torchwood as well but won't be joining the cast for the full season.

What about replacing Gwen at the same time? <_<

Tony said the very same thing :lol:

OK, she'll replace Gwen, then Owen can die in a very violent and bloody way :yahoo:

I have no problem with that. Leave the three characters I actually liked :lol:. Though I have to admit that I found Owen less annoying towards the end of the season when he seemed to develop some human emotions.

Seemed and to are the operative words there Laura <_< :lol:

I'd be happy to wipe them all out apart from Jack but I suspose you could keep Gwen as the token Welsh member of the team. :)

I'd really like Martha to join Torchwood as thats actually the first thought I had after DW finished, she could even bring her no doubt soon to be Dr boyfriend and she and Jack could fight over him. ;)

Well, it's Monday, so here's the announcement.....

From the beeb.

Hmmm, Torchwood and Doctor Who, won't that confuse the kiddies? :ponder:

I thought she wouldn't be going permanently due to the thread left open at the end of the episode (the mobile phone).

I'm more intruiged by the new companion, probably another male character like Captain Jack? Or will the Doctor have two honeys vying for his affection?

I'm reading between the lines, but it almost feels like he views Torchwood as the more important series :ermm:

I look forward to the day when the new Doctor Who can keep the same cast two seasons running :)

I don't think Torchwood is the "Most important" series, I think it's more a case of it being the one that needs the most help.

It had good viewing figures, but not the great ones that they had hoped for, I'm thinking this might be the angle they're taking here.

Yeah, quite probably. It's also his "baby". :ponder:

I just hope it's not to the detriment of The Doctor :ermm:

:o :unsure: martha is moving to cardiff, i thought she was gonna stay with her family (in london) a little while to help them get over the memory of the year that never was

of course torchwood may need more than one lovable character (jack) to attract an audience but nowhere in the goodby scene, jack offered martha (and the doctor but i doubt he would have accepted) to visit torchwood

It could lead to a Doctor appearance in Torchwood as well though. All it would take would be one phone call from Martha...... :ponder: Wouldn't that be fun, having the Doctor tell everyone to mind their language every five minutes :lol:

Maybe Martha is thrust into Torchwood, in a way beyond her and Jacks control. Jack may not have invited her - but unnexpected things do happen and maybe Torchwood might need Martha for something.

Anyway not sure what to make of this it seems to be stupid as I believe Davies said he wanted to keep the two series apart and the only linking point would be Jack, so to bring Martha onto Torchwood is against that and will probably get more kiddies to want to watch Torchwood which isn't who Torchwood is aimed at.

Bad idea. All Torchwood needs is some better scripts and an attempt to try to jump out of its teenage like storytelling and plots.

As for Owen, I didn't mind him so much, although I did think the character was badly written for and hopefully peoples comments will be taken on board and he'll have a character change next series, which kind of happened in the last ten minutes of the last season.

I still think he needs to be a bit of an ass, as he kind of offsets some of Jacks personality and the conflict between the two characters is good, just tone it down.

Overall less episodes like Cyberwoman and more like They keep killing suzy (if that was the right name of the episode I'm thinking about).

:lol:

we also know that jack will be able to teleport twice (so a big explosion in torchwood could be a good reason even if jack can't die) :rolleyes:

of course bringing martha in torchwood might be due to her cousin having worked in canary wharf (but as did ianto)

Maybe she goes in undercover, as her cousin?

I tape Entertainment Today on GMTV on Friday`s, in case there`s something worth watching on it , and last Friday they interviewed John Barrowman - he said that Torchwood is the second highest rated series in Australia. :)

Oh, and that Torchwood will probably be back in January in the UK. :thumbsup:

Like everyone says, I can`t see how a Martha crossover would work ; I know 9 year olds who love Dr Who, they can hardly see Torchwood with all its naughty language - unless the Beeb will show an edited early evening episode, like they did with Buffy ? :unsure:

:lmao:

I suppose he has to find a bright side somewhere :lol:

:o

I`ll have you know that means, ooh, at least 300 people are watching it. :snooty:

My vote's for Sally Sparrow :thumbsup:

Oooh, good choice. :thumbsup:

I assume they`ll do the guest star bit again for the Xmas special, then get a newbie ? :ponder:

<< Settles down for 6 months of speculation >>

:thumbsup: but without the boyfriend <_<

was she undercover? i thought she was working there until she was brainwashed by the cybermen

and how can she work undercover if jack know her :lmao:

Better him than Rose or Martha's family ;)

it did seem the jones's family is now family reunited (just wonder how mr jones gonna explain to his "girlfriend" why he is going back to his ex-wife :lol: :fear: )

Yes I would go with that too, definately got the looks of an ideal companion :drool: .

Although is the TARDIS big enough for two women and a Doctor seeing as how all the female companions have fallen in love with him recently :naughty: ? (apart from Donna of course).

If it's big enough to fit the bow of the Titanic in then I'd say probably :lol:

What's the betting the Christmas story is about how the TARDIS sank the ship :lol:

Well The Doctor did start the Great Fire Of London, and was involved in the extinction of the dinosaurs. So can't see why not?

Not to mention causing the electrical explosion that sparked the start of life on the primeordeal Earth

Is that the same as the Dealornodeal Earth? :ponder:

Oh god no, not a world full of Noel clones <shudder> :fear:

:o which doctor was that? :lol:

The human race trampled down by a horde of Mister Blobbies... :fear:

It was the fifth Doctor, played by Peter Davison in the stories;
The Visitation (Great Fire of London)
and
Earthshock (Adric gets his sums wrong and dies, taking the dinosaurs with him :lmao: :thumbsup: )

Anyway watch out for season 4s cliffhanger when just after Martha dies, the Doctor regenerates into Noel Edmonds and mysteriously finds Mr. Blobby in the TARDIS. :lmao:

Another vote for Sally Sparrow from me and if they don't use the character then I hope they could still use the same actress but in a new role. :)

Yep, it's just been announced that the guest star with a "major role" in the Christmas special is going to be none other than....... Kylie Minogue :blink: :ponder: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:





Bets are now being taken as to whether "Step Back in Time" will be part of the soundtrack for the episode, or the soundtrack for confidential. :lol:

:o :unsure: :thumbsup:

why do i have a feeling kylie is gonna play a singer in that episode? :lol: :ermm:

She's not that good an actress :lol:

I still have Biodome on video with her in, and I think I recall seeing her in something called deliquents?

I was just going to ask about this.......but it seems its old news :rolleyes:

Hasnt the Doctor had a diminutive Antipodean companion before.....?
