Freema Agyeman

Freema: (On appearing in Torchwood) The temporary move to Torchwood was 'natural' for Martha. She still has her interest in alien life, but wants to keep her feet firmly on planet Earth.

Freema (on the future of her character): It's a perfect progression for her character because she develops such a strong character by the end of series three. So if Jack needs help, who else is he going to call? Jack trusted her to save the world. So did the Doctor. So who are you going to call? Martha Jones."

Freema: (asked if she was a fan of "Doctor Who" as a kid) I was, but I wasn't an avid fan. My Doctor was Sylvester McCoy, which was at the very end, before it came off air. So I didn't have years of experience of Doctor Who - I just watched that era and then it went away. But I definitely watched it growing up - my whole family did.

Freema: (On her character Martha Jones in Doctor Who) She's older than Rose, more secure, but she doesn't have a boyfriend. She has her own little flat and her family around her. Rose had only her mum, but Martha has a big family. She isn't looking to the Doctor for guidance or education, she wants adventure. She hasn't kissed her old life good-bye though, and I think she intends to go back to qualify as a doctor. There are funny moments when the Doctor says, 'I'm the Doctor' and Martha says, 'So am I!' She speaks her mind.

(When asked about what it's like to work with David Tennant) Freema: He's an absolute joy to work with, huge talent. Of course everybody knows that! But, I started to think of him as a close friend than as an amazing actor, and my eyes were re-opened.
