As much as I'd like to see Martha in these, I honestly think the best place for her should be in Torchwood. There's that massive jump from UNIT Doctor to freelancing with Mickey to cover and that'd bring something new to her character plus it could be cool to have her a part of series 5. Not that I'd say no to more stories with her and 10 though. I think a set of three stories with River would be fantastic, even exploring how he feels after seeing her die, and getting to know her cause that wasn't really done on TV until much later on. He does seem really familiar with her in The Time of Angels. Or we could have Jack. Or both, which would make for an interesting dynamic. Either way I can't wait for whatever comes after volume 2.

Although I am not keen on the individual story pitches the idea of a vortex manipulator collection of stories is brilliant! Plus it would help settle the argument whether the end of that series was a two parter or a three parter! Also on one of those trips could they actually meet a younger Jacobi Master before he used the chameleon arc? That would be fun. I wonder if the child Master in the Titan Comics could be the same Master? I can answer that question with a spoilerful panel from the comics in question:  So no. The child regenerates into Old Jacobi. |

I wonder if BF will make more of The Wolf sensing something about something about the wolf around Rose. It always struck me as something of an odd reference and at the time I expected more to come out of it then it merely being a call back to The Parting of the Ways.

Surely it's clear from the context that it's only ever intended as a call back reference to there being something wolfy about her too? |

I don't know about the vortex manipulator malfunctioning, would it add diversity to the stories? Surely it'd be "oh the prehistoric era, not 2007, let's try again" *end of adventure* and it makes the line in The Sound of Drums about it not working properly because Jack didn't have the Doctor rather redundant doesn't it? Maybe one story to try and work around this concept but I'd rather not have a whole set

I just don't know if the Doctor would be so willing to partake in a whole adventure and fight a threat when his mortal enemy has just stolen his beloved time machine and gone to Earth, his favourite planet. I don't know maybe it could work I just can't see it being very convincing, more bleeding this TARDIS team dry. |

Maybe one story at a push, but I think three's stretching it a bit. Plus it's been years since I last watched The Sound of Drums so for all I know a gap might actually be impossible. I think it'd be better to just set some Doctor and Martha adventures earlier in the series, Big Finish can improve their relationship immediately just by having the Doctor not mention bloody Rose for one story. Seriously he referenced her in almost every other story in Series 3. This is of course assuming Freema Ageyman's actually free to do audio too. |

I love the Titan Doctor Who comics, but even so, I thought it was a load of sh*#! What were they thinking!!!  |

I mean I read them like I read the old annuals when I was a kid, I enjoy the stories and I really don't worry about where it fits but seriously, such bo****ks. |

Add me in for a set of Martha stories (she's one of my favourite companions) or, if not, either a set of stories where 10 is travelling alone or with Gabby from the Titan Comics range.

As per the latest podcast Freema is currently declining to return to playing Martha, but it wasn't an Eccleston "no".

A sad thing about Martha Jones is that "42" is its only traditional story Doctor Who where she is a genuinely companion who travel in the TARDIS, before that it was "just a trip" and constant mentions of Rose and then she had to suffer being a servant or a TV cameo and other mentions of Rose. That's why I would like to have more standalone stories for Martha in a future Box Set.

When BF got the license to do NuWho at first I had kind the impression that Freema would be the first one to join for audios and that Catherine and Billie would had more probably moved on or been busy. Donna is my fav NW companion but I would love a series with Martha Also the Tenth Doctor with Benny would be interesting. I suppose the difference is that Billie Piper and Catherine Tate have both had successes after Doctor Who, whereas Freema Ageyman is still looking for something to distinguish her away from the show. |

Other than Law & Order... The Carrie Diaries... Old Jack's Boat... Sense8...
The woman has literally never been out of work since leaving DW. She had to pull out of doing more Torchwood!

She's been far more successful than either of the other two indeed. |

Eh, she's really only just made it in the States in a popular US Netflix series. The Carrie Diaries wasn't excactly a hit and was cancelled and I can see why she wouldn't want to return at the momment, despite her affection for Who. And - I'm happy to be wrong here - Sense8 doesn't exactly have the same clout to it as a MCU connection.
