Freema Agyeman is now officially a Doctor Who companion and
will appear in Season 3 in 2007.
 Freema Agyeman will play Martha
Jones in the next run of the drama which is due to start
filming in Cardiff in summer 2006.
She has already appeared in Doctor Who playing
the part of Adeola, a minor character who
suffered at the hands of the Cybermen.
The current series of Doctor Who finishes
on BBC One on Saturday 8th July and sees Billie
Piper leaving the show.
It was revealed last month that Billie Piper was
leaving the programme and this was confirmed at
the begining of "Army of Ghosts/Doomsday" where
this two part story opened with a voice-over from
the character saying: "This is the story of
how I died".
It is understood that although she has now officially
joined the cast, producers say Agyeman will not
be featured in this year's Christmas special.
"We've
got another surprise in store for that," said
Executive Producer Russell T. Davies.
