David Tennant returns to his role as the tenth Time Lord and meets his
brand new companion, as filming commences on the highly anticipated
third series of Doctor Who for BBC ONE.
The new series which commences filming this week will also mark the
debut of newcomer Freema Agyeman who steps into Billie Piper's shoes as
the Doctor's new companion, medical student Martha Jones.
Freema Agyeman, who will star as Martha Jones alongside Tennant in all
13 episodes in series three, says: "I am still pinching myself and can't
wait to get started!
"It's been nerve wracking but David has been brilliant in helping me to
adjust on my first days on set. I am really looking forward to
travelling through time and space with him over the next eight months."
Russell T Davies, writer and Executive Producer, adds: "We were
delighted and honoured by the second series' success, and we can promise
new thrills, new laughs and some terrifying new aliens.
"The Doctor and Martha are destined to meet William Shakespeare, blood
sucking alien Plasmavores, The Judoon - a clan of galactic stormtroopers
and a sinister intelligence at work in 1930's New York."
