Mike Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 They're going to have to tone down Tate's character a lot if she's the new companion, or a lot of people will be sick of her after the first episode. Why do all his new companions have to be Londoners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well thats gone and pretty much ruined Doctor Who for me then, cant stand bloody Catherine Tate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Maybe she will be a bit calmer now, her previous experiences jading her a bit. Still, I would have preferred the male companion idea I heard knocking around. Would have been a different dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyfromspark Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I'm not happy about this really, Donna in every episode could become a bit grating. I'm hoping for some sort of surprise when Martha returns, maybe Donna isn't really Donna but someone shape shifted to look like her to get a key to the Tardis.

Retro_Link Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I absolutely hate the Catherine Tate Show, but thought she was fantastic in Doctor Who! After the brilliant Rose she was a refreshing change, offering a different type of companion and thought it would be good if she was in a few new episodes. Think she could be good!

Give us an alien, someone from the future, or the past, a robot, anything else. The whole 'girlfriend' bit is just boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I was a bit shocked when I first read the news, but I think she will be fine. I did not like her in the Christmas special much, but I did warm to her in the last 10mins or so if I remember correctly. People made a fuss when Piper joined the Doctor, saying she couldnt act etc, so it's just deja-vu again in a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I can't say I'm extatic about Tate's apointment. She's not too bad an actress, but I fear her character maybe rather too grating to live with over the course of a fulls season. For me though, the silver lining is perhaps we may finally get a companion that isn't just there to fawn over the Doctor while he dosses about in his scarf/trenchoat/Georgian frills. It's a 70s hangover and it's out of touch with the rest of the world. Give him someone to kick him in balls every now and again. Tate's character evidentally isn't designed as a simple piece of eye-candy. Perhaps she could be the one to fill that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoMan1031 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 wow, well that is a surprise. I couldn't see her joining Doctor Who properly! I'm going to need to watch the xmas special again, remind me off her character... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyellowbloke Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 As far as I remember her character seemed to mainly consist of screaming and shouting of "Wha's goin' on" and "Help me doctaaaaaaaaaa" to the point where you pray that either the tv explodes or your ears fall off. Really bodes well for the next series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 i think Catherine Tate worked for one episode and that she won't work for an entire series...unless she is severly toned right down, I mean right down otherwise it will just grate, I just can't see how she will fit in. It's another use of the "girlfriend" dynamic, there was quite a bit of mutual tension between them in the xmas special even though the doctor had just lost rose, no doubt when martha returns there will be arguements, I just see it being very tiring and boring, I was hoping for a male or an alien, but no such luck...

LegoMan1031 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yer it does seem like a bit of an odd choice. I would of thought they would of gone for something different for this next series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhed00 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Came across this today, those of you thinking Martha Jones going to Torchwood to expand her character might want to watch it to remind themselves just how one dimensional the characters in Torchwood really were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlboOGbM94c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeLee Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 you theif! as you stole the pic i showed you i'll add the little bit of info.... Pop princess Kylie has begun filming her guest appearance in popular television show Dr. Who in the city of Cardiff. The Aussie songbird makes a return to acting as a guest assistant to the Doctor, played by actor David Tennant, in Titantic-themed episode, 'Voyage of the Damned'. The dramatic episode follows on from the cliffhanger ending of series three where viewers witnessed The Titanic crash through the Tardis walls. Kylie is said to be "thrilled" at being asked to join the cast for a special appearance and Doctor Who executive producer and head writer Russell T Davies confirmed: "We are delighted that Kylie Minogue will be joining the Doctor. "Doctor Who Christmas specials are always a joy and we feel very confident that this will be the most ambitious and best Christmas episode yet."

rokhed00 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Looks like they've decided on Tennants replacement. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2001320029-2007350619,00.html Oh dear, RTDs replacement doesn't sound promising either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
