DOCTOR WHO: A Rose Between Two Thorns?

Tuesday 27 November 2007

She was last seen sobbing on a beach in a parallel universe, but it looks like Rose Tyler is heading back to the TARDIS for the fourth season of Doctor Who.

Well, Billie Piper could do with the media exposure again, after choosing to just expose herself on ITV2's Secret Diary Of A Call Girl and make prostitution look glamorous. All she succeeded in doing this year was provide kinky footage for horny internet downloaders...

All this means David Tennant will be sharing his TARDIS with three companions at some stage next year: Rose, Martha (Torchwood-transferred Freema Agyeman) and new recruit Donna (Runaway Bride's Catherine Tate).

It's going to get cramped in the TARDIS! Well, it won't, actually – but you know what I mean. So, is this a good idea, or will the return of Rose only highlight the problems they've had replacing her?

I personally think Martha Jones is the best companion of the three, and that the treatment of Freema Agyeman has been pretty bad (intentionally, or not.) She was seemingly kicked onto Torchwood on a whim, just so Russell T. Davies can scratch his Catherine Tate itch again, and will now be flung back into the midst of her predecessor and replacement!

Sparks will fly! So it'll be good TV, regardless.

I hope Freema out-acts them all and reclaims her position as the main companion for season 5. We don't want her getting a phone call from ITV2 about a little project they have in mind, do we? Don't answer that if you're one of those horny downloaders...
