Antilles Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 http://www.gallifreyone.com/news.php#newsitemEElFVpFAyEypniUUKZ http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2007/07/04/46831.shtml Im not quite sure how to react to this news yet, i rather enjoyed Donna as The Runaway Bride but dont think I could handle her for whole series, mind you it might be a bit of a laugh between her and Martha for the episodes theyll clash in but, Oh I dunno I was just hoping for something and somebody new and unknown. For me shes just too "Bovvered, what evva, are you direspecting me!" Itll take something special to shake off the image I have of her as the comedienne! So with this news and Martha returning too I guess well be stuck on Earth (Cardiff) most of the time then! :( Any more thoughts on this 'officially' announced news?

Tenebrae Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Pretty much sums it up for me. I was hoping the woman would be struck down by some horrendous crippling illness that would both cause her interminable suffering AND stop her from being on TV, looks like the mute button will get to be used judiciously next season. All credit to RTD though, I thought he'd picked an irritating gobby companion with Rose... clearly he wants to make sure we look back at her as a paragon of virtue. Funny though, I keep checking my calender thinking it must be April 1st... but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Tate makes Freeman look like an Academy Award winning actress (acting wise not physical appearance). I mean Martha wasn't "bad" but she wasn't really "good" either, save for one or two episodes. Tate was alright, for the one-time-only Christmas special. It worked. On a weekly basis though?

TFMF Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yes. Oh dear me indeed. It was ok having her for a Christmas Special. But a whole season!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 She's famous? Oh well. I can't figure out why her fiance didn't just let the Spider Queen eat her. Hmmm, I'll still pay attention because, hey, it's the doctor, right? No, I am not a fanboy. Except for V: the series. >:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halmir Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 They should have been more radical - have the last Dalek as his companion !! Daleks are great at solving problems, one zap and the victim has no problems any more!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablet Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 :'( Ok i take back everything bad i thought of about Martha just not Tate please not Tate. How about this for a radical suggestion, a male companion :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalith Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 lol looks like i'm going to be the lone voice on this one lol, i actually like catherine tate the 'am i bovvered' sketch is her low point but she is much funnier than the matt lucus creation in little britain that ripped of her act but hey, she is a class comedy act and although i like martha (again a lone voice it would seem) catherine will add to the comedy level of this show which mixes comedy and drama in an entertaining way. What surprised me most about the christmas runaway bride special last year was how good that tate was considering her fame as a comedienne she embraced the drama side of the role well and yes she was an irritating woman for most of the show (who wouldn't be on their wedding day when 'everything' was going wrong) but by the end she calmed down a lot and you seen a less harsh side to her role. Hell even if she is bad at this new role there are doctor who companions that where much much much worse in the original series' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyperion Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 How about this for a radical suggestion, a male companion :thinking: Well we did have Captaian Jack for a while... How about a male companion who is not in any way, shape or form even slightly curious about kissing boys, let alone sleeping with them. Seriously, how about someone without some twist or quirk or jinx in their sexuality.You now that unfashionable one called 'hetero'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 and although i like martha (again a lone voice it would seem) nah, I like Martha, it just takes me time to get used to new companions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I think she will do well, mainly coz she will give the dr some attitude haha...I feel we should let her acting do the talking and see how well she can actually do :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicky1991 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I like the Catherine Tate show, but that makes it harder for me to imagine her doing anything other than comedy. And, if she doesn't say any of her catchphrases for the whole season, I'll eat every Doctor Who book I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalith Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 lol well billie piper was a singer and that didn't have people saying 'being a singer makes it harder for me to imagine her doing anything else' I agree with neomaster lets see how well she does before we say she isn't any good. Personally i liked the runaway bride so she already got a good start imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andipandi3 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I don't know her comedic works, but I'll give her a chance. Martha kind of grew on me (although her immediate crush seemed kind of annoyingly schoolgirl). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
