Freema Agyeman Doctor Who

Freema Agyeman auditioned the three roles in 2006 series for doctor who. On 24 June 2005, she auditioned for the part of Sally Jacobs in “The Christmas Invasion”, but the role went to Anita Briem, who better fitted the production team’s concept of the character as an “ice cool blonde”.She later auditioned for the roles of Esme and Adeola Oshodi, in the “Rise of the Cybermen”/”The Age of Steel” and “Army of Ghosts”, respectively. Esme was ultimately cut from the final script, but she was successful in her audition for Adeola. She filmed her role in the series in December 2005 she appeared on the screen of Adeola on 1 July 2006. She studied the dance and practiced horseback riding, martial arts and gymnastics, a fact that the producers exploited in order to provide her with more physically arduous action scenes.

Her production was impressed by versatility that is shown by her across her three auditions and called her back as a serious candidate for the new companion. She attended another audition (ostensibly for an episode of Torchwood) before a final screen-test with Tenth Doctor actor, David Tennant. Tennant left a reassuring note under the door of Agyeman’s hotel room, and this helped calm any nerves the actress had. Following extensive speculation on who would replace Billie Piper, Agyeman was confirmed to the press as new companion Martha Jones on 5 July 2006.

She began producing movies for the third series in August 2006 and finished in March 2007. She made her screen debut as Martha on 31 March 2007 in the episode “Smith and Jones”. A line of dialogue explains that Adeola was Martha’s cousin. Agyeman continued to portray the character Martha throughout every episode of the 2007 series. Agyeman returned as Martha in series 4 for five episodes. Following the final episode of the fourth series, Agyeman stated that she would be open to reprising the role. She later returned to the series along with several other former cast members to mark David Tennant’s final appearance in The End of Time.

Concurrent with her appearance on the show, Agyeman read abridged audiobook adaptations of five of the Doctor Who New Series Adventures novels featuring Martha, namely The Last Dodo, Wetworld, The Pirate Loop, Martha in the Mirror and The Story of Martha. In her three series and four series Doctor Who, Agyeman appeared in three episodes of series 2 of Doctor Who spin off Torchwood, namely “Reset”, “Dead Man Walking” and “A Day in the Death”.

She also had a starring role in the Torchwood radio play, Lost Souls, broadcast on BBC Radio Four on 10 September 2008 to promote the turning on of the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN research facility. It was later revealed by Torchwood: Children of Earth director Euros Lyn that the production team had intended for Agyeman to appear in that production, but she was already committed to Law & Order: UK. In her video interview she conducted at the Law and Order: UK press launch, Agyeman does not rule out a return to Torchwood, stating that “it’s always a possibility.”
