From the Mirror:
TIME FOR A NEW BIT ON THE SIDE, DOCTOR
Nicola Methven and Polly Hudson 29/06/2007
DOCTOR Who is to get a brand new companion, we can reveal.
The Time Lord, played by dishy David Tennant, has been rather mean to poor old Martha of late. And by the start of the fourth series next year, she's had enough.
A show insider reveals: "Martha will still be in Doctor Who, but her relationship with the doctor will have changed.
"The truth is that she loves him but he doesn't feel the same way.
"She is going to have to share him because he'll be getting a different sidekick. And this is a major addition to the cast."
Bosses are remaining tightlipped over whether the new companion is male or female.
But the new arrival prompts Martha, played by Freema Agyeman, to take a bit of a back-seat. She is expected to flit in and out of the show, also popping up in spin-off series Torchwood.
Freema will definitely not be appearing in the Christmas special, which starts filming next week - Kylie Minogue will be helping out the Doctor instead.
The end of the next series will also see us bidding a fond farewell to writer Russell T Davies, who is hanging up his cyber pen to work on other projects. And David Tennant has admitted to having decided when he's off (er, it's then, too).
These departures don't mean Doctor Who will be exterminated - the Beeb's drama supremo Jane Tranter has big things planned for the hit sci-fi series.
She insists: "One thing is certain, Doctor Who will be around on BBC1 for years to come."
Hurrah!
