Dr '''Martha Smith-Jones''' (née '''Jones''') was a [[British]] [[physician]] and a [[companion]] of the [[Tenth Doctor]].


'''Doctor Martha Jones''' was a companion to [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] and later a member of [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] who was also attached briefly to [[Torchwood 3]].
She met the Doctor when she was a medical student at [[Royal Hope Hospital]] in [[London]] when the [[hospital]] was transported to [[the Moon]] by [[Judoon]] troops, after which she began travelling with the [[Time Lord]].
 
She fell in love with him and expressed her feelings to [[John Smith (Tenth Doctor)|John Smith]], hoping the Doctor would not remember her honesty, and again in the [[TARDIS]] before ceasing her travels with him. She stopped travelling due to this unrequited love and the toll [[The Year That Never Was]] had on her and her family, but did not cut him off, giving him [[Martha Jones' mobile phone|a phone]] to contact her and promising that he would see her again. She continued to have a number of adventures, both with and without him, thanks to her work with [[UNIT]] and [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]].
 
Martha also went on to marry [[Mickey Smith]], and the two broke out on their own to become freelance alien fighters. She encountered the Doctor again before he [[regenerated]], saving her life one more time from a [[Sontaran]].


==Biography==
==Biography==
===Early Life===
===Early life===
Doctor Martha Milligan (née Jones) was born in [[1984]] to [[Francine Jones|Francine]] and [[Clive Jones]]. Martha had an older sister named [[Tish Jones|Tish]], a younger brother, [[Leo Jones|Leo]], and later a niece, [[Keisha Jones]]. Martha's parents divorced when Martha was quite young, and she, along with her brother and sister, grew up with their mother in her upper-class victorian/tudor house. Clive lived elsewhere with his girlfriend Analease. We are led to believe that he rarely saw his children, due to Martha exlaiming "Dad!? What are you doing there?" when she learns he is round at her mothers ([[DW]]: [[The Sound of Drums]]). A few of Martha's memories and pictures of Martha as a young child were briefly noted by the Doctor. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Lazarus Experiment]]'')  
Martha Jones was born on [[14 September]] [[1984]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Torchwood Archives]]'') to [[Francine Jones|Francine]] and [[Clive Jones]]. According to another account, she was born in [[1986]]. She had an older [[sister]] named [[Tish Jones|Tish]], a younger [[brother]], [[Leo Jones|Leo]], and a [[niece]], [[Keisha Jones]], who was Leo's daughter. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Frozen Wastes (short story)|The Frozen Wastes]]'') Francine chose the name [[Martha (name)|Martha]] simply because she liked the sound of it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wooden Heart (novel)|Wooden Heart]]'') Martha grew up on the outskirts of [[London]]'s sprawl. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Peacemaker (novel)|Peacemaker]]'') She decided to become a [[doctor]] when she grew up after an incident involving her brother when she was a child; once, Leo pushed her on a [[swing]] so hard that she flew off the seat and broke her [[arm]]. Going to the hospital and looking at [[X-ray]]s fascinated her and inspired her to go into the medical field. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Frozen Wastes (short story)|The Frozen Wastes]]'') Martha grew up with her mother when her parents [[divorce]]d and was often forced to play peacekeeper in continual family arguments. Tish and Leo also lived with them, with Martha sleeping in their home's smallest room. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wooden Heart (novel)|Wooden Heart]]'') Martha devoured [[Annette Billingsley]]'s ''[[The Troubleseekers]]'', a [[32 (number)|thirty-two]] [[book]] series, around the age of eight; they were the first books that she ever read. She later read ''[[Harry Potter]]'' and ''[[His Dark Instruments]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage (short story)|The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage]]'') Martha had three [[trumpet]] lessons in Year 6 of [[primary school]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[House Pests (comic story)|House Pests]]'')
 
When Francine invited guests to [[dinner]], Martha and her sister were expected to "perform" for the guests by handing out nibbles while Francine bragged that Martha was going to be a leading surgeon. Martha hated the attention and it caused friction between her and Tish, who embraced the attention.


In [[2007]], Martha lost her cousin [[Adeola Oshodi]] during the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]]. Martha studied medicine and worked as a student doctor at the Royal Hope Hospital under [[B. Stoker|Mr Stoker]] in [[London]], [[England]]. Martha is constantly forced to play peace-keeper amidst constant family arguments. ([[DW]]: ''[[Smith and Jones]]'')
Prior to meeting the Doctor, Martha attended a [[Mika]] concert in [[Denmark]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Pirate Loop (novel)|The Pirate Loop]]'')


===With [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]]===
At university, Martha was friends with [[Holly (The Last Diner)|Holly]]. After Holly's mother died, they lost touch. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Last Diner (audio story)|The Last Diner]]'')
 
In [[2007]], she lost her [[cousin]] [[Adeola Oshodi]], who worked for [[Torchwood One]], in the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'') She would note that they had shared a resemblance. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Made of Steel (novel)|Made of Steel]]'')
 
=== With the Tenth Doctor===
====First meeting====
====First meeting====
In [[2008]], Martha was working at the Royal Hope Hospital on the day it was transported to [[the Moon]] by the [[Judoon]]. Remaining calm while those around her panicked, Martha worked alongside [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] (who was posing as a patient named [[Aliases of the Doctor#John Smith|John Smith]]) to track down the [[Plasmavore]], "[[Florence Finnegan]]", that the Judoon were searching for.  
Martha first met the [[Tenth Doctor]] in the [[2000s]]{{note|According to the episode ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'', [[Martha Jones]]' present day during [[Series 3 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 3]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' takes place over a six-day period, with {{Simm}} being elected three days after ''Smith and Jones'', and the [[Toclafane]] [[Toclafane invasion|invading Earth]] five days after ''Smith and Jones''. However, [[Aliens of London dating controversy|sources differ on which dates these stories are set]]. According to [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Paradox Moon (short story)|The Paradox Moon]]'', the Toclafane invasion happens on [[23 June]] [[2007]], placing the events of ''Smith and Jones'' on [[18 June]]. According to [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Hysteria (audio story)|Hysteria]]'', ''Smith and Jones'' takes place in [[2008]], with a [[UNIT]] mission log in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Recruits (audio story)|Recruits]]'' referring to the recovery of moon rocks from [[Royal Hope Hospital]] in [[March]] 2008. A newspaper clipping in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Secret Lives of Monsters (short story)|The Secret Lives of Monsters]]'' places ''Smith and Jones'' on a [[Sunday]] [[4 June]], thus placing the Toclafane invasion on [[Friday]] [[9 June]]. In the real world, these dates do not fall on a Sunday and Friday in either 2007 or 2008.}} on her way to her job as a student doctor at the [[Royal Hope Hospital]] in [[London]], where she was studying under [[B. Stoker|Mr Stoker]]. Without introducing himself, the Doctor merely took off his tie and said, "Like so, see?", before walking off. Unbeknownst to Martha at the time, he was demonstrating the nature of [[time travel]]. She met him again at the [[hospital]], where he was posing as a patient named [[Aliases of the Doctor|John Smith]], not realising that the man she saw earlier was a future version of him; she also listened to his heartbeat, discovering that he had [[Binary vascular system|two hearts]], but stayed quiet about it.


As the oxygen in the hospital ran out, Martha gave her last breaths to resuscitate the unconscious Doctor, who prevented Florence's plan while the Judoon returned the hospital to Earth. Later that evening, a recovered Martha was approached by the Doctor, who revealed that he was a [[Time Lord]] and invited her to join him for a single trip through time and space in the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]]. She accepted, although the Doctor insisted that he had not brought her aboard as a replacement for his previous companion, [[Rose Tyler]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Smith and Jones]]'')
Later that same day the hospital was transported to [[the Moon]] by the [[Judoon]]. Calm while those around her panicked, Martha worked with the Doctor to track down the [[Plasmavore]], "[[Florence Finnegan]]", for whom the Judoon were searching. During this encounter, the Doctor was quickly impressed with Martha's reasoning and intelligence, such as when she deduced that opening the windows wouldn't result in the air being sucked out; it would've happened already anyway if it were going to happen at all as the windows weren't airtight. Despite listening to his heartbeat, however, Martha was sceptical about him being an alien, until the Judoon's scanners confirmed that he wasn't [[human]].


====Travels====
As the oxygen in the hospital ran out, Martha gave her last breaths to resuscitate the clinically-dead Doctor, who had thwarted Florence's plan. The Judoon returned the hospital to Earth. That evening, after another family argument at her brother [[Leo Jones|Leo's]] party, a recovered Martha was approached by the Doctor, who revealed that he was a [[Time Lord]] and invited her to join him on what he initially described as a "single trip" through time and space in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'')
On her first adventure, the Doctor took Martha back to meet [[William Shakespeare]]. Shakespeare became somewhat enamored with Martha, referring to her as his [[Wikipedia:Shakespeare's sonnets#The Dark Lady|"Dark Lady"]]. Together, Martha, Shakespeare and the Doctor used a "spell" to defeat a race of witch-like aliens known as the [[Carrionites]] who were trying to change reality. ([[DW]]: [[The Shakespeare Code]])  


Martha's next adventure took her to the futuristic [[New Earth]] where they landed in an area known as the Undercity. Upon learning that the Doctor had also visited New Earth with Rose, Martha became concerned that she was little more than a "rebound" companion. She was then separated from the Doctor after being kidnapped into [[the Motorway]] where she was attacked by the [[Macra]]. Upon being saved by the Doctor, Martha witnessed the death of the enigmatic [[Face of Boe]] and his final words "You Are Not Alone". As they departed New Earth, Martha learned about the [[Gallifrey|Doctor's home planet]] and the [[Last Great Time War]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Gridlock]]'')  
===Travels with the Doctor===
The Doctor took Martha to [[1599]] where they met [[William Shakespeare]], who flirted with her and called her his {{w|Shakespeare's sonnets#The Dark Lady|"Dark Lady"}}. The three of them used a "spell" to defeat a trio of witch-like [[Carrionite]]s who were using Shakespeare's play ''[[Love's Labour's Won]]'' as a spell to bring other Carrionites to Earth; Martha's use of the word "[[Harry Potter|Expelliarmus]]" when Shakespeare was unable to think of the right word to end on proved vital in defeating them. The Carrionites, along with the play, were sealed away. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Shakespeare Code (TV story)|The Shakespeare Code]]'')


The Doctor extended Martha's trip in the TARDIS once more taking them to 1930s [[New York]], where they learned that the population of [[Hooverville]] were being transformed into [[Pig Slave]]s as part of the [[Cult of Skaro]]'s plans to build a race of human [[Dalek]]s. Martha was forced to kill the Pig Slaves in self-defence, but expressed remorse that they had once been human like herself. ([[DW]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan]]'' / ''[[Evolution of the Daleks]]'')
Martha's next trip was to [[New New York]], where they landed in the [[New New York Undercity|Undercity]]. Learning the Doctor had also visited [[New Earth (New Earth)|New Earth]] with Rose, Martha worried she was a "rebound" companion. Martha was kidnapped by a couple driving through the Motorway who wanted a third passenger to use an express lane; the three of them were later almost killed by the [[Macra]], but escaped when the Doctor opened up the Motorway. After the two were reunited, Martha witnessed the death of the [[Face of Boe]] and heard his final words, "You are not alone". Before they departed New Earth, The Doctor told Martha about his [[Gallifrey|home planet]] and the [[Last Great Time War]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]'')


Upon the Cult of Skaro's defeat, the Doctor returned Martha home merely twelve hours after she left. He prepared to say goodbye, but overheard a TV news story about a man "changing what it meant to be human" and so decided to accompany her to the opening night of [[Richard Lazarus|Prof. Richard Lazarus]] device that could rejuvenate a human to youth. Upon discovering the disastrous effects of Lazarus' work, Martha, the Doctor, and Martha's sister Tish helped to trap and kill the monster Lazarus had become. Afterward, the Doctor offered Martha one more trip, but she refused on the basis that she no longer wanted to be just a passenger. The Doctor then invited her on-board the TARDIS as a full-time companion. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Lazarus Experiment]]'')
The Doctor extended Martha's trip in the TARDIS yet again, going to [[1930]] [[New York City]], where the two of them became entangled in a mystery and found the population of [[Hooverville]] being transformed into [[pig slave]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan (TV story)|Daleks in Manhattan]]'') as part of the [[Cult of Skaro]]'s plans to build a race of [[human-Dalek]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[Evolution of the Daleks (TV story)|Evolution of the Daleks]]'') Martha and a group of Hooverville residents were abducted and nearly converted into human-Daleks, ([[TV]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan (TV story)|Daleks in Manhattan]]'') but the Doctor created a loud noise and allowed the humans to escape. After the Doctor was escorted back to the Daleks to help them, the Doctor handed Martha his [[psychic paper]] and Martha went with [[Tallulah]] and [[Frank (Daleks in Manhattan)|Frank]] to the top floor of the Empire State Building, pretending to be engineers and an architect, and realised the Daleks had taken over the Empire State Building while working with Mr [[Diagoras]] and placed [[Dalekanium]] on the mast to power their experiment. While the Doctor got in the way of the lightning strike hitting the mast, Martha and Frank connected metal rods from the outside of the building to the [[lift]] shaft as the lightning struck the building, killing the pig slaves inside the lift which were chasing after the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Evolution of the Daleks (TV story)|Evolution of the Daleks]]'')


The Doctor and Martha answered a distress signal in the [[42nd century]] [[Torajii]] system; they found a crew and their ship falling towards the sun. The sun was actually a sentient being that was possessing the crew members and killing them off one-by-one. Believing she was going to die, Martha called her mother on an [[Superphone|upgraded mobile phone]] given to her by the Doctor. Eventually, Martha and the Doctor were able to render assistance and depart safely. ([[DW]]: ''[[42]]'')  
After the Cult of Skaro's defeat, the Doctor returned Martha home to twelve hours after she had left. He overheard a TV news story about a man promising to "change what it means to be [[human]]", and escorted her to the presentation of [[Richard Lazarus|Prof. Richard Lazarus]]' rejuvenation device. Uncovering the disastrous effects of Lazarus' work, the Doctor, Martha, and her sister Tish helped to kill the monster Lazarus had become. Afterwards, the Doctor offered Martha one more trip, but she refused. She no longer wanted to be just a passenger, and so the Doctor invited her aboard the TARDIS, as a full-time companion. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lazarus Experiment (TV story)|The Lazarus Experiment]]'')


In order to escape the [[Family of Blood]], who were hunting the Time Lord, the Doctor used the [[Chameleon Arch]] to turn himself into a human being with no memories of his time as the Doctor. He became [[John Smith]], a teacher at an [[England|English]] boys school in [[1913]], where Martha took a job as a maid. Martha watched helplessly as Smith fell in love with a nurse named [[Joan Redfern (TV character)|Joan Redfern]], expressing pain that he "had to go and fall in love with a human... and it wasn't me".
Following a [[Calamity Lamp]], the TARDIS landed on the planet [[Loam]] inside the head of a [[High Goliax]], which was being controlled by a child called [[Kipe]]. Martha was separated from the Doctor when Kipe ejected her from the head. She was caught in a winged flying chariot piloted by [[Sugarpea]], the planet's former prime minister who was responsible for having her world demolished after being unable to pay a loan to the [[Krib]] [[bank]], who hoped to save the world. Martha, Sugarpea and [[Sweetleaf]] went to the [[Museum of Politics]], but Sugarpea locked the others inside to sacrifice her life to end her debt to the Krib. She used a loophole in her contract with the Krib to become dictator of Loam, and nullify the planet's debt after being punished by the death penalty. Martha followed her to the Krib and reunited with the Doctor, but was unable to save Sugarpea. The Doctor and Martha ran through a space portal to a High Goliax head while followed by "giant leggy things that used to be the insides of a computer", which the Doctor went on to explain were the minds of the High Goliax finding their way home after being ripped from their skulls centuries before. After the children inside the High Goliax heads were evacuated, Martha told the planet's [[Prime Minister (The Woman Who Sold the World)|Prime Minister]] that it would be "a good time to welcome your new immigrant population". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Woman Who Sold the World (comic story)|The Woman Who Sold the World]]'')


When the Family of Blood finally tracked them down, wreaking havoc on the town and school, Martha convinced John Smith to sacrifice his human life and love by reverting back to being the Doctor. The Doctor returned, defeating the Family of Blood, and leaving a heartbroken Joan, to rejoin Martha in the TARDIS. ([[DW]]: ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'' / ''[[The Family of Blood]]'')
They answered a distress signal in the [[42nd century]] [[Torajii]] system: [[SS Pentallian|a ship]] falling towards the sun. The sun was a [[sentient star|sentient being]] possessing the crew members and killing them off, and Martha herself was nearly jettisoned entirely from the ship when she took refuge in an escape pod. She  later played an instrumental role in saving the ship when the Doctor found himself possessed as well. During this adventure, Martha had a brief romance with one of the ship's crew, [[Riley Vashtee]]. He wanted her to stay but she chose to remain with the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[42 (TV story)|42]]'')


Martha and the Doctor travelled to an old house in [[Wester Drumlins]] where they encountered the [[Weeping Angel|Weeping Angels]]. They were sent back to 1960s London by the Angels, where Martha assisted the Doctor in helping [[Sally Sparrow]] recover the TARDIS in the future. During this time, Martha was forced to take a job in a shop to support herself and the Doctor while they waited for the TARDIS to return and save them. ([[DW]]: [[Blink]])  
The Doctor and Martha visited the [[Great Solar Shield]], which was used to partially block sunlight from 21st century Earth to ease the effect of global warming. A race called the [[Silhouette (species)|Silhouettes]] began leeching energy from the Shield and its crew. The colour in Martha's shirt scared off the Silhouettes, who instead began heading for Earth. The Doctor realigned the Shield's prismatic mirrors to refract a rainbow towards the Silhouettes, scaring them off. This caused the Silhouettes to flee and the Great Solar Shield's crew were returned to Earth in the TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sunscreen (comic story)|Sunscreen]]'')


Following a short pit-stop in [[Cardiff]], the TARDIS took Martha and the Doctor to the end of the universe and the planet [[Malcassairo]], where they met [[Jack Harkness|Captain Jack Harkness]]. They also encountered the last of humanity in the universe, being assisted by [[Yana|Professor Yana]]. Whilst assisting Yana, Martha noticed that he possessed a watch of similar design to the Doctor's Chameleon Arch, which prompted him to open it. The human Yana was transformed back into the Doctor's Time Lord nemesis, [[the Master]], and escaped in the TARDIS. ([[DW]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'')
To escape the [[Family of Blood]], who were hunting him, the Doctor used the [[Chameleon Arch]] to turn himself into a human with no memory or knowledge of the Doctor, containing his true self inside a fob watch. Before doing so, the Doctor recorded a video of instructions for Martha to follow so she might reference them in the future. He then became [[John Smith (Tenth Doctor)|John Smith]], a teacher at an [[England|English]] public school in [[1913]], where Martha took a job as a maid at the school to keep an eye on him, hiding the TARDIS in a shed. Martha watched helplessly as Smith fell in love with the school nurse, [[Joan Redfern (TV character)|Joan Redfern]], as he had not mentioned falling in love in his instructions. exclaiming he "had to go and fall in love with a human and it wasn't [her]". When the Family of Blood tracked them down after student [[Tim Latimer]] opened the fob watch, wreaking havoc on the town and school, Martha convinced John Smith to sacrifice his human life and love by reverting to the Doctor. He defeated the Family of Blood, left a heartbroken Joan and rejoined Martha in the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]''/''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]'')


Martha, Jack, and the Doctor used Jack's [[Vortex manipulator]] to travel back to 21st century Earth on the day after [[Aliases of the Master#Mr Saxon|Harold Saxon]] was voted Prime Minister. They figured out that Mr. Saxon was in fact an alias of the Master, who had been living on Earth for months since his departure from Malcassairo. The Master, who had been manipulating Martha's family since she became a full-time companion, had Francine, Clive, and Tish arrested while Leo managed to escape. As her family, Jack, and the Doctor were all taken prisoner aboard the [[Valiant]], Martha teleported back to Earth with a mission to defeat the Master. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums]]''))
When the Doctor used a time machine to follow [[time assassin]]s from [[27th century]] [[Mars]] to 21st century London, Martha received a phone call from the Doctor in the past telling her that he had saved the [[Mayor of London]]'s lineage from being destroyed, but the assassins had found him. Assisted by DI [[Moloch (Bus Stop!)|Moloch]], Martha attacked a time assassin controlled laboratory to reverse the controls of the time machine that brought the Doctor back in time. After returning to the 27th century, the Doctor destroyed the unsafe time machine to prevent anyone else from fiddling with it. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Bus Stop! (comic story)|Bus Stop!]]'')


===[[The Year That Never Was]]===
The Doctor took Martha to [[Antarctica]] in [[1915]] to see the [[aurora australis]]. They met [[Ernest Shackleton]]'s [[Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition]] near where the ''[[Endurance (ship)|Endurance]]'' was trapped in the ice. When the biologist [[Robert Clark]] had begun turning into a [[Skith]] after being in contact with a [[whale]] whose DNA was altered by the Skith, a group including the Doctor, Martha, and some of Shackleton's crew followed Clark to the Skith ship ''[[Oppressor One]]''. The Skith imprisoned the group and prepared to study and dissect them, but after Shackleton got through to Clark, Clark released them. Martha brought most of the group apart from the Doctor and Shackleton back to the ''Endurance'' in the TARDIS, and watched as the Doctor and Shackleton sent the ''Oppressor One'' into the sun. Martha reversed the controls of the TARDIS to head back to the ''Oppressor One'' and rescue the Doctor and Shackleton. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The First (comic story)|The First]]'')
When Martha had been given the task by the Doctor she was aware of what she had to: spread the word of the Doctor. She travelled from England to rebel camps in Europe where she met the Brigadier's son Calvin. She went to Japan and was put into a concentration camp. She survived the Japan Massacre when it was burned. After a year travelling around the world she met up with [[Tom Milligan]]. ([[NSA]]: [[The Story of Martha]]) She spent a year on Earth telling everyone to think of the Doctor at a specific time so that the Master could be defeated. This plan worked, the Doctor returned to his unaged form and the Master was shot by his wife [[Lucy Saxon]]. As a result of the destruction of the Master's [[Paradox Machine]], only Martha, her family, and everyone else who was on board the [[Valiant]] retained their memories of that year spent with the Master.


Although the Doctor wanted her to stay with him, she decided that her family needed her more. She also expressed the need to 'get out' of what she viewed to be an unhealthy relationship of her hoping the Doctor would finally notice her, and so stayed on Earth to complete her training as a doctor. In order to keep in touch however, she gave the Doctor her [[superphone]] saying that she would call him in the future when she needed him. ([[DW]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'')
====Stranded in 1969====
At some point, while dealing with "four things and a lizard" in London minutes before the [[Red Hatching]] in in the [[2000s]],{{note|While ''[[Blink (TV story)|Blink]]'' itself uncontroversially sets its main setting in [[2007]] and "twenty minutes to [[Red Hatching]]" a year later in [[2008]]—as [[Kathy Nightingale]]'s letter describes taking "one breath in 2007 and the next in [[1920]]", and the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s side of his conversation with [[Sally Sparrow]] in [[1969]] happens 38 years before Sally says hers—these are contradicted by heavily conflicting dates in the ''[[Redacted (audio series)|Redacted]]'' audio series later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In ''[[Angels (audio story)|Angels]]'', [[Abby McPhail]] identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests [[2009]] as the year of the Red Hatching. In ''[[Salvation (audio story)|Salvation]]'', the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of [[Andy Proctor]], who was last seen by his daughter [[Cleo Proctor|Cleo]] "nearly 20 years" before [[2022]] according to ''[[Recruits (audio story)|Recruits]]''.}} the Doctor and Martha met [[Sally Sparrow]], who seemed to know them; however, Martha and the Doctor did not know her yet. Sally gave the Doctor and Martha a folder full of photographs and other documents; claiming that they would need it in the future. ([[TV]]: ''[[Blink (TV story)|Blink]]'')


===[[UNIT]] career===
Some time later, after a brief adventure on a planet filled with fictional characters, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage (short story)|The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage]]'') Martha and the Doctor travelled to [[Wester Drumlins]] in the 2000s, where [[Weeping Angel]]s sent them back to London in [[1969]], with the TARDIS stuck in the 2000s. ([[TV]]: ''[[Blink (TV story)|Blink]]'')


====Work with [[Torchwood 3|Torchwood]]====
[[File:Thirteenth and Martha.jpeg|thumb|Martha talks with the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Little Help from My Friends (comic story)|A Little Help from My Friends]]'')]]
[[Tenth Doctor|The Doctor]] put in a good word for Martha at [[UNIT]]. At the request of Captain Jack, as a UNIT officer, she visited[[File:4.jpg|thumb|300px|Martha as she appears in [[Torchwood]]]][[Torchwood 3]] in [[Cardiff]], where she became embroiled in their investigation of a private medical organization called [[Pharm|The Pharm]]. Torchwood sent her into the Pharm as an undercover agent, but during the course of her investigation she was discovered and captured and the [[Mayfly|Mayflies]] were put into her body. [[Owen Harper]] saved her life using an alien surgical device (although she was clinically dead for a few seconds afterwards) but [[Aaron Copley]] killed him. Just as Copley was about to shoot Martha he was shot in the head by [[Jack Harkness]]. ([[TW]]: ''[[Reset (Torchwood story)|Reset]]'')
With her and the Doctor stranded, Martha took a job as a [[shop girl]] at a London clothes shop called [[Face Fashion]]. During one of her shifts, she was visited by the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], who was hoping to figure out why she had been bought back to this time and place. After the Doctor took her for tea and ultimately revealed her identity to her, Martha and the Doctor investigated the sudden appearance of the [[Auton]]s in London. The Tenth and Thirteenth Doctors were eventually forced to meet and, with the help of Martha and [[Team TARDIS|the Thirteenth Doctor's friends]], they discovered the [[Nestene Consciousness]] below the [[River Thames]]. Luckily, a Weeping Angel had followed them, and it sent the Consciousness back in time, ending a new invasion after it had barely began. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Little Help from My Friends (comic story)|A Little Help from my Friends]]'')


Martha witnessed Owen's return from the dead as an un-dead being means of the [[resurrection gauntlet]] and gave him a posthumous physical. "[[Durac|Death]]", a force possessing Harper aged Martha into an old woman. After Owen defeated the Death being, she reverted to normal ([[TW]]: ''[[Dead Man Walking]]''). She mended Harper's injured hand when, in a fit of self-destruction after Jack decided to relieve him of duty at Torchwood, he deliberately wounded it.
When [[Billy Shipton]] was sent back to 1969, he was welcomed by Martha and the Doctor. From there, the Doctor, with Billy's aid, helped [[Sally Sparrow]] recover the TARDIS in the future, finally enabling them to leave 1969. She briefly appeared in the video message the Doctor had made for Sally, complaining that the Doctor promised her all of space and time but she had to work in a shop to support him, before apologising for bursting in. ([[TV]]: ''[[Blink (TV story)|Blink]]'')


Once Owen Harper was promoted back to Doctor, she left for [[UNIT]], a few days after she had joined on. ([[TW]]: ''[[A Day in the Death]]'')
===Further travels with the Doctor===
The Doctor and Martha landed at [[Research Base Truro]], where they found the dead bodies of aliens after something "terrible" had happened. Unknown to them, the aliens had killed each other after assuming the Doctor was among them following the death of [[Kraarn]] in an electrical accident. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Death to the Doctor! (comic story)|Death to the Doctor!]]'')


She did not attend [[Gwen Cooper]]'s wedding because of work, ([[WEB]]: ''[[Torchwood website]]'') though she did attend both Owen and Tosh's funerals.
At some point, the Doctor and Martha took a quick jaunt to Atlantis. They initially wanted merely to visit, but when the Doctor detected the presence of [[vortex manipulator]] signals, they rushed to their source only to be confronted with [[River Song]], time-travelling archaeologist and the Doctor's future wife. The Doctor was surprised to hear River call him "sweetie" and call herself his wife, and River realised this was an earlier version of the Tenth Doctor than she was meant to encounter. As a result, before making her escape, she "slapped a [[Memory Worm]] on [him] while [he was]n't looking", causing him — but not Martha — to forget the encounter. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Lost in Time (video game)|Lost in Time]]'')


Back at UNIT, she got engaged to her boyfriend, [[Thomas Milligan]], though he left Britain for a while to go to [[Africa]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem]]'' / ''[[The Poison Sky]]'')
An energy stream from a distress beacon forced the TARDIS down to a planet, where a girl called [[Cora (Universal Monsters)|Cora]] had been attacked in the woods by a beast. After returning Cora to the village, Martha had discovered the villagers had similar bite marks on them and were anaemic. The [[biomechanoid|bio-mechanical]] beast, [[Viktor (Universal Monsters)|Viktor]], tried taking both the Doctor and Martha to the [[Thane]]'s castle, but [[Gideon (Universal Monsters)|Gideon]] freed the Doctor. Martha realised that the Thane had unwittingly given the villagers septicaemia from his biopsy device. When the Doctor and Gideon arrived, Martha tried and failed to stop the Doctor from destroying the [[neuropathic generator]] that was pacifying the [[Khamirae]] villagers, but also prevented them from transforming into beasts. After the Doctor destroyed the generator, Gideon and the rest of the villagers began transforming into bestial forms. When the Doctor knocked out Gideon, he realised that the Thane and Viktor were using DNA samples from the villagers to extend the Thane's lifespan so they could continue watching over them after repeated cloning of the Thane degraded his pattern. Martha held off the attacking Khamirae as the Doctor repaired the generator at the cost of Viktor's life. The Doctor suggested to the Thane to lower the output of the generator every so often so the Khamirae could control their transformations. The Thane refused to clone himself any further and decided to spend the remainder of his life letting the Khamirae come to terms with who they truly were. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Universal Monsters (comic story)|Universal Monsters]]'')


====Reunion with the Doctor====
While the Doctor tried tracing an [[etheric beam]] in a town centre, Martha relaxed at a coffee shop. She watched people walk past, and noticed the same identical old woman appearing to walk past in different directions and in and out of different shops. Martha followed the old woman into an antiques shop, where she discovered twenty identical women, who were members of an [[Species (Needle Point)|alien species]] using [[etheric antenna]]e to report to the fleet commander. Martha threatened the disguised aliens with one of their guns, and they stumbled into one another, causing one of them to drop its antennae. The aliens lost their etheric energy and were unable to contact their fleet. They were enveloped in a green light and vanished. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Needle Point (short story)|Needle Point]]'')
 
The Doctor and Martha travelled back in time to the creation of [[Stonehenge]] to figure out why it was there. They waited inside the TARDIS as it materialised for a few moments at the same time each year and had a series of snapshots taken with the [[TARDIS scanner]] for the Doctor and Martha to look at as the stone structures were set up over time. The Doctor found it fun but not very instructive. Though the Doctor and Martha refused to go outside the TARDIS, parking the TARDIS at the same spot each year during dawn at the summer solstice had unwittingly influenced the construction of Stonehenge. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Secret of the Stones (short story)|The Secret of the Stones]]'')
 
Martha was relaxing on the beach of a [[Planet (The Planet That Wept)|planet]] when she heard a voice call her name in the jungle. She saw faces in the water, on the ground and on the tree bark and leaves, all staring at her. Martha ran back to the beach, and the Doctor pulled her by the hand. The Doctor explained that the environment collapsed, causing one hundred years of acid rain, dissolving the planet's people and their civilisation, somehow making them into a collective mind that was part of the planet for millions of years. Because they had run out of stories, the world intended to make the Doctor and Martha join them as they had new stories to tell. The Doctor rushed Martha back to the TARDIS before the falling acid rain could hit them. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Planet That Wept (short story)|The Planet That Wept]]'')
 
The Doctor and Martha visited a fanatically religious planet about to be struck by an asteroid, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Last Diner (audio story)|The Last Diner]]'') and helped a group of miners in [[Nevada]] who had been forced to mine silver to repair an alien spaceship. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Silver Medal (audio story)|Silver Medal]]'')
 
Following a short pit-stop in [[Cardiff]], and unknowingly picking up [[Captain]] [[Jack Harkness]], the TARDIS took Martha and the Doctor to the end of the universe, and the planet [[Malcassairo]]. Martha was taken back by Jack's immortality before the two discussed the circumstances of [[Bad Wolf Incident|Jack's last encounter with the Doctor]], becoming increasingly jealous of [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] and concerned that she was going to be abandoned just as Jack was one day. After fleeing from the [[Futurekind]], they stayed at [[Silo 16]], where they encountered the last humans in the universe, who were assisted in reaching Utopia by [[Yana|Professor Yana]], and Martha briefly befriended his assistant [[Chantho]]. An observant Martha noticed that the Professor had a watch similar to the Doctor's [[biodata module]], prompting him to open it. The human Yana was transformed back into the Doctor's Time Lord nemesis, {{Jacobi|n=the Master}}, and escaped in the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'')
 
Martha, Jack, and the Doctor used [[Jack Harkness' vortex manipulator|Jack's vortex manipulator]] to travel back to 21st century Earth, arriving the day after [[Harold Saxon]] was voted Prime Minister. Mr Saxon was in fact an alias of {{Simm|n=the Master}}, who had been living on Earth for months since his departure from Malcassairo; the Doctor explained that, before the Master fled Utopia, he sabotaged the TARDIS by fusing the coordinates with [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] so that it could only travel between 21st century Earth and the end of the universe, adding that he could've only landed up to 18 months prior to the day they picked Jack up from Cardiff. The Doctor also constructed three [[perception filter]]s using [[TARDIS key]]s in order to avoid detection, the three of them declared Earth's most wanted. The Master, who had been manipulating Martha's family since she became a full-time companion, had Francine, Clive, and Tish arrested, although Leo escaped, Martha calling and warning him before the Master could find him. As her family, Jack, and the Doctor were all taken prisoner aboard the ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]'', Martha teleported back to Earth with a mission to defeat the Master. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'')
 
===The Year That Never Was===
Martha knew what she had to do: spread the word of the Doctor. She first travelled from England to rebel camps in Europe, where she met the Brigadier's son [[Erik Calvin]], and was later interned in a concentration camp in [[Japan]]. Throughout her travels she also visited the ruins of [[New York City]], and fusion camps in [[China]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Story of Martha (short story)|The Story of Martha]]'')
 
In America she visited the last diner and was reunited with [[Holly (The Last Diner)|Holly]]. To her surprise she was also reunited with her mother, claiming to have escaped the ''Valiant'', however found her scepticism of the Doctor undermined her stories. She was encouraged when a large group gathered to hear her at the diner, however to her horror a rocket hit the diner before she entered, with Holly the only survivor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Last Diner (audio story)|The Last Diner]]'')
 
Martha, Holly and Francine travelled to Nevada to meet [[the Hope (Silver Medal)|the Hope]], the largest resistance group in America who were in contact with aliens. Martha disliked their system of competition to earn food, to their leader [[Jessie (Silver Medal)|Jessie]]'s annoyance, and told a story about her and the Doctor visiting a mine in the area a century earlier. After the camp's satellite camouflage was compromised, she helped perusade them to leave to a new camp and then set off to [[Las Vegas]] with Francine and Holly. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Silver Medal (audio story)|Silver Medal]]'')
 
Martha grew suspicious of Holly's behaviour on their way to Las Vegas and confided in Francine whilst they rested at a hotel. She became concerned about Francine's health, though she insisted she was fine, and they were attacked by Toclafane, exposing Holly as an agent of the Master in disguise. She and Francine were cornered by the Toclafane and their leader Miss [[Beecham]], whose certainty Martha was there enabled her to see through the perception filter. To Martha's horror, Beecham revealed Francine was a clone, with the original still a prisoner, and killed her. Beecham subsequently interrogated Martha, wanting to know if she was building a way to kill the Master which Martha realised meant she was trying to replace him. Refusing to give in, Martha hid when the Master's forces arrived to capture Beecham for her treachery and was rescued from hanging over a ledge by the real Holly. She and Holly resolved to continue travelling together in America. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Deceived (audio story)|Deceived]]'')
 
After a year travelling around the world, she met fellow resistance member [[Thomas Milligan (The Year That Never Was)|Tom Milligan]]. She had spent a year on Earth telling everyone to think of the Doctor at a specific time so the Master could be defeated. This plan worked; the Doctor, who had been previously aged several hundred years by the Master using his [[laser screwdriver]] combined with the research of Lazarus, returned to his original form and the Master was shot by his wife, [[Lucy Saxon]]. As a result of the destruction of the Master's [[paradox machine]], only Martha, her family, and the people aboard the ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]'' retained their memories of that year under the Master. Although the Doctor wanted her to stay with him, Martha felt her family needed her more. She also needed to get out of what she saw was an unhealthy relationship of her hoping the Doctor would finally notice her, and she stayed on Earth to complete her training as a doctor. To keep in touch, Martha gave the Doctor [[Martha Jones' mobile phone|her phone]], saying that she would call him when she needed him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'')
 
=== UNIT career===
==== Work with Torchwood====
[[File:Martha Jones TW Reset.jpg|thumb|left|Martha inside the [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] hub. ([[TV]]: ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'')]]
Martha was later recruited by [[UNIT]], something that she and Captain Jack believed happened because the [[Tenth Doctor]] put in a good word for her; as Martha recalled, a [[woman from UNIT (Reset)|woman from UNIT]] "rang out of the blue". She visited [[Torchwood Three]] in [[Cardiff]] as a UNIT officer, and soon became embroiled in their investigation of [[the Pharm]], acting as an undercover agent. [[Mayfly|Mayflies]] were put into her body when she was discovered and captured, prompting [[Owen Harper]] to twice save her life: once with an alien surgical device to remove the Mayfly and soon after by taking a bullet meant for her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'')
 
[[File:Pharm captures martha.jpg|thumb|Martha is captured by the Pharm. ([[TV]]: ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'')]]
Martha witnessed Owen's return as an undead being through the [[resurrection gauntlet]] and gave him a posthumous physical. "[[Durac|Death]]", a force possessing Harper, made the gauntlet attack Martha which aged her considerably, but she reverted back again after Owen defeated the Death being. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dead Man Walking (TV story)|Dead Man Walking]]'')
 
Martha also mended Harper's injured hand when, in a fit of self-destruction after Jack decided to relieve him of duty at Torchwood, he deliberately wounded it. She left once Owen Harper was returned to duty and resumed her work at UNIT. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Day in the Death (TV story)|A Day in the Death]]'')
 
Back at UNIT, she became engaged to her boyfriend, [[Thomas Milligan]], though he left Britain for a while to go to [[Africa]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]''/''[[The Poison Sky (TV story)|The Poison Sky]]'')


Martha called the Doctor just as she, together with UNIT, were about to attack the [[ATMOS Factory]] which secretly formed a key part of a [[Sontaran invasion of Earth|Sontaran invasion plan]]. At the time, she worked under the by-the-book [[Mace|Colonel Mace]] who was in charge of the operation. Later that day she warned Donna Noble to keep her family safe because of what had happened to her own family at the hands of the Master. A few minutes later she was kidnapped by two solders under [[Sontaran]] control and taken to her to a [[cloning pool]], where they started copying her body. She then was put to sleep but kept alive as a [[Martha Jones (clone)|Clone]] was about to aid the Sontarans and needed access to her memories. ([[DW]]: [[The Sontaran Stratagem]])
Martha attended Owen and [[Toshiko Sato]]'s [[funeral]]. Some time later, she was informed by [[Julia Swales]] of eleven people who had gone missing from [[CERN]] and called Jack for Torchwood's help after Julia too went missing and UNIT's own investigation was fruitless. She eventually found the missing people in a building absent from the site plans and discovered that [[Oliver Harrington]], her boss, had been working with a [[neutron eater]] in the belief that he could get [[Marie Harrington|his late wife]] back. Harrington and the neutron eater were both killed in the [[Large Hadron Collider]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lost Souls (audio story)|Lost Souls]]'')
[[File:11.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Martha reuinting with the doctor ]]
Martha's clone died soon after the Doctor rescued the real Martha, but Martha was able to convince it to help her as they shared the same memories. The clone, before it died, said that Martha had all these things that she wanted to do in life and she should do them. While chatting with the Doctor and Donna inside the TARDIS after the defeat of the Sontarans, Martha turned down the Doctor's offer to let her travel again with him. As soon as she made her refusal an unknown force took control of the ship, preventing her from leaving and dragged the TARDIS into the [[Time Vortex]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Poison Sky]]'').


Martha walked out of the TARDIS onto the planet [[Messaline]], remarking to Donna that even though she didn't want to travel with the Doctor any more, she loved the first steps of exploration on a new planet. On Messaline the Doctor was immediately taken hold of and his hand put in a machine to form his daughter, [[Jenny]]. Soon after, they were attacked by the [[Hath]]. Martha was separated from the Doctor and Donna and taken by the Hath. She saw an injured one named [[Hath Peck]] whom Martha helped, earning the Haths' trust, who then showed her a map of where they were.
When Ianto woke up as a woman, Jack sent several [[email]]s to Martha, who promised to look into it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Almost Perfect (novel)|Almost Perfect]]'')


The Doctor was shown a corresponding map, and caused new passages and tunnels to appear on both maps, much to the Haths' surprise, who thought Martha was responsible. The Doctor then called her, and told her where they were heading. Martha found a way onto the planet's surface and took Hath Peck with her. On the surface Martha slipped into something like a pool of quicksand, but Hath Peck saved her life, sacrificing his own, to Martha's distress. Martha then saw the temple and was reunited with the Doctor, Donna and Jenny there. They discovered what the Humans and Hath were fighting over; the Source which would make the planet's surface habitable again.  
====Reunion with the Doctor====
Martha called the Doctor when UNIT were about to attack the [[ATMOS factory]] which secretly formed a key part of a [[Sontaran invasion of Earth|Sontaran invasion plan]]. She was working under the "by-the-book" [[Alan Mace|Colonel Mace]], who was in charge of the operation, and met the Doctor's companion Donna Noble. Contrary to the Doctor's expectations, the two got along very well, though Martha warned Donna how her own relationship with the Doctor had come at the expense of the wellbeing of her family, and advised her not to repeat her mistake.  


As the Hath and the Humans come running up the Doctor released the Source, however General Cobb was jealous and shot at the Doctor, wounding Jenny instead. When the Doctor said that there was a possibility she would come back to life, Martha shook her head and confirmed she was dead. Later, the Doctor took her back to Earth where she cheerfully said farewell to him and Donna, and was reunited with her fiancé, [[Thomas Milligan]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter]]'').
Not long after UNIT took control of the factory, Martha was kidnapped by two [[Sontaran]]-controlled soldiers and connected to a [[cloning pool]] to be copied. She was put to sleep but kept alive; her [[Martha Jones (clone)|clone]] needed her clothes and access to her memories while helping the Sontarans. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'')


====Later UNIT Adventures====
Martha's clone died soon after the Doctor rescued Martha and broke the connection, but Martha was able to convince the clone to help them. Before the clone died, it said Martha had many things she wanted to do and she should do them. While chatting with the Doctor and Donna after the Sontarans' defeat, Martha turned down the Doctor's offer to travel again with him. As soon as she had made her refusal clear, the TARDIS dragged them into the [[Time Vortex]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Poison Sky (TV story)|The Poison Sky]]'')
[[File:Marthajonesinthedoctorsdaughterepisode.jpg|thumb|Martha and the Hath. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'')]]
Martha walked out of the TARDIS onto the planet [[Messaline]], remarking that even though she did not want to travel with the Doctor any more, she still loved the first step on a new planet. The Doctor was grabbed by human colonisers and his hand put in a [[Progenation]] machine, which created his "daughter", [[Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter)|Jenny]]. Soon after, they were attacked by the [[Hath]], which resulted in Martha becoming separated from the Doctor and Donna by a cave-in, and taken by the Hath. After helping the injured [[Hath Peck]], and earning the Hath's trust, they showed her a map of their location. Martha, alongside Hath Peck, went onto the planet's surface in order to meet up with the Doctor and Donna. She slipped into a pit of killer quicksand, but Hath Peck saved her life by sacrificing his own.


=====Torchwood Reunions=====
Martha found [[the Temple]] and was reunited with the Doctor, Donna, and Jenny. It was here they discovered what the humans and Hath were fighting over: [[The Source (The Doctor's Daughter)|the Source]], a terraforming device which would make the planet's surface habitable. As the Hath and the humans appeared, the Doctor released the Source. General [[Cobb (The Doctor's Daughter)|Cobb]] was enraged and shot at the Doctor, but Jenny leapt in the way of the bullet, and was killed instead. When the Doctor said that there was a possibility she would come back to life, Martha shook her head and confirmed she was dead. The Doctor returned Martha to Earth. She said a fond farewell to Donna and him, and went off to reunite with her [[fiancé]], [[Thomas Milligan]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'')


Despite not being able to attend Gwen's wedding, Martha was available to attend Owen and [[Toshiko Sato|Toshiko]]'s funerals ([[BBCR]]: ''[[Lost Souls]]'')
====Fighting the Daleks====
Martha moved to New York after a promotion to the post of Medical Director on [[Project Indigo]], a teleport device using recovered Sontaran technology. Whilst she was working at UNIT HQ in [[New York City]], Earth was transported to the [[Medusa Cascade]]. When Daleks attacked the base, [[Sanchez|General Sanchez]] ordered Martha to use Project Indigo to escape and contact the Doctor. Sanchez also gave her an [[Osterhagen Key]] and ordered her to use it should the need arise. Project Indigo, which had never been tested, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'') was diverted by the [[time eddy]] created by the [[Crystal of Kronos]], and Martha arrived in the crystal chamber in [[Atlantis]]. She made notes of the coordinates but, realising she was clearly in the wrong place, then activated Project Indigo again, thinking "There's no place like home". ([[GAME]]: ''[[Lost in Time (video game)|Lost in Time]]'') Tapping into her mind, Indigo delivered her back to her house, where she was greeted by her [[Francine Jones|mother]].


She later phoned Captain Jack after her she was stationed at the CERN Facility in [[Switzerland]]. Some of the staff had gone missing. The [[Torchwood 3]] team went to Switzerland to investigate what happened. They found out that the person who was responsible was [[Harrington|Dr. Harrington]] the souls where released in the rightful body and saved. ([[BBCR]]: ''[[Lost Souls]]'')
[[Harriet Jones]] had created a [[Sub-Wave Network|low-level signal]] and contacted Martha, Torchwood and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] to assist Earth and defeat the Daleks. Together they contacted the Doctor and summoned him to help them to fight the Daleks. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'')


=====Fighting the [[Dalek]]s=====
Unsure of whether the Doctor would come, Martha decided to use the Osterhagen Key. Leaving her mother, she teleported to [[Germany]] and a secret UNIT base, one of several [[Osterhagen Project]] activation points. Martha and two other UNIT operatives in other locations prepared to activate the Osterhagen Project, but first contacted the [[Crucible]], warning the Daleks and [[Davros]] that she would use the key to destroy Earth rather than let it fall into their hands, giving them the chance to escape unharmed. They transmatted her to the Crucible, however, where she rejoined the Doctor, alongside [[Rose Tyler]], [[Mickey Smith]], [[Jackie Tyler]], Jack, and Sarah Jane. After the arrival of Donna and the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]], they defeated the Daleks and their plans, and the Doctor's companions assisted the Doctor in piloting the TARDIS, towing Earth back to its [[solar system]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')


Martha was promoted to an American contingent to assist with the development of [[Project Indigo]]. Whilst she was working at the [[New York City ]][[File:9.jpg|thumb|300px|Martha during the Medusa Cascade incident]]office, Earth was transported into the [[Medusa Cascade]].  
[[File:Gwen and Martha.jpg|thumb|left|Martha with Gwen. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dissected (audio story)|Dissected]]'')]]
After Earth was returned to its proper place, Martha exited the TARDIS with Jack Harkness, who offered her a job with Torchwood. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'') She ultimately turned it down, feeling that there was too much sadness "baked into the bay" after the deaths of [[Owen Harper|Owen]] and [[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dissected (audio story)|Dissected]]'')


During a Dalek attack on the base, [[Sanchez|General Sanchez]] orders Martha to use Project Indigo -- a teleportation device -- to escape HQ in order to track down the Doctor. Sanchez also gives her the [[Osterhagen Key]] and orders her to use it should the need arise. Initially, Project Indigo, which had never been tested, teleported Martha to her home in London where she was reunited with her mother. Martha later theorised that her emotions controlled it, sending her home.  
=== In Atlantis ===
[[File:Martha and Liz in Atlantis.jpg|thumb|right|Martha and [[Doctor]] [[Liz Shaw]] in a temporally-anomalous [[Atlantis]]. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Lost in Time (video game)|Lost in Time]]'')]]Martha thought that her accidental discovery of [[Atlantis]] should be investigated by UNIT and returned there, calling for UNIT backup. Because of the [[time eddy]] caused by the [[Crystal of Kronos]], it arrived not in the form of one of her contemporaries but of a young [[Liz Shaw]] straight from the mid-[[20th century]]. Together, they were confronted with a [[Sea Devil (Lost in Time)|Sea Devil]] who explained that the temporal disturbances had awakened their colony, and that they were about to send out a signal to awaken all the other Sea Devils around the world. Martha and Liz convinced them to wait and negotiate, and called [[the Doctor]] for help using Martha's mobile phone. The Doctor who arrived was the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Lost in Time (video game)|Lost in Time]]'')


[[Harriet Jones]] meanwhile had created a [[Sub-wave communications|low-level signal]] and utilised it to contact her, [[Torchwood 3|Torchwood]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] to work together to assist Earth and defeat the Daleks. Together they all contacted the Doctor and summoned him to help them and fight the Daleks. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'')  
=== Last UNIT missions ===
Around the time of Torchwood's [[Christmas]] party, Martha separated from Tom, hence why she did not attend. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dissected (audio story)|Dissected]]'') In [[2009]], Torchwood phoned Martha for her help identifying how to defeat the [[Vam]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Risk Assessment (novel)|Risk Assessment]]'')


However, unsure of whether the Doctor would come, Martha made the decision to use the Osterhagen Key and departed her mother, teleporting to [[Germany]] and a secret UNIT base -- one of several Osterhagen Key activation points on the planet.
On her last day at a [[victim-retrieval station]] in [[Hereford]], Martha agreed to perform an [[autopsy]] on [[Jonathan Dee]] for [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]], although she was initially sceptical about the body coming under UNIT's jurisdiction. She reconnected with Gwen, telling her that she and Tom had broken up and that she missed the excitement that she got travelling with the Doctor. After blowing up the station to kill [[chameleon (Dissected)|the chameleon]], Martha took up Gwen's suggestion of faking her death and going freelance, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dissected (audio story)|Dissected]]'') eventually asking Mickey to join her. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')


Martha and two other UNIT operatives in other parts of the world prepared to activate the Osterhagen Project, but prior to its final activation she contacted the [[Crucible]] telling the [[Dalek]]s and [[Davros]] that she would use the key to destroy the Earth rather than let it fall into suffering at the hands of the Daleks. However she was teleported to the ship, meeting and re-encountering [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]], [[Rose Tyler]], [[Mickey Smith]], [[Jackie Tyler]], [[Jack Harkness]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and [[Donna Noble]]. They each helped defeat the Daleks and destroyed the Crucible. Martha and the others assisted the Doctor to pilot [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] towing Earth back to its solar system. ([[DW]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'')
===Freelance work===
[[File:DW414.jpg|thumb|Martha as a freelancer. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')]]
Mickey agreed to go into freelance alien fighting, off the grid, with Martha and the two married, ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') going on their [[honeymoon]] by the time the [[the 456|456]] incident began. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day One (TV story)|Children of Earth: Day One]]'')


After the Earth was returned to its proper place, Martha departed the TARDIS with Jack Harkness, who could be heard offering her a job with Torchwood.
One adventure saw Martha and Mickey battle a Sontaran, [[Jask (The End of Time)|Jask]]. Unknown to them, Jask had them cornered and was about to shoot them from a distance. The Doctor stepped in and knocked out Jask, saving them as his final gift to them prior to his next [[regeneration]]. Martha spotted the Doctor. She and Mickey called out to him, but he walked away without saying a word. As the TARDIS left, Martha embraced her husband sadly. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')


=====After the Medusa Cascade=====
At some point, [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and Martha started to occasionally meet up for coffee. They became friends. Sarah Jane told Martha everything about her son [[Luke Smith]]. In [[2010]], Luke Smith was starting to get nightmares and didn't feel well. Sarah Jane thought that Martha could help and wanted to call her. However Luke told her that he was alright and Sarah Jane didn't call Martha. A short time later Martha and her husband Mickey came to Luke's farewell party after which Luke wanted to go the [[University of Oxford]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Nightmare Man (novelisation)|The Nightmare Man]]'')
Ultimately, Martha appeared not take Jack's offer, as she was still with UNIT. He later tried to get in contact with her when during the 456 incident. She was on honeymoon with Tom Milligan. ([[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day One]]'')


===[[Donna's World]]===
Martha called in the [[Eleventh Doctor]] to assist the Japanese branch of UNIT with investigating a mysterious beverage. This was Martha's first interaction with the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Golden Ones (comic story)|The Golden Ones]]'')
If [[Donna Noble]] had turned right for a job interview instead of turning left, Martha would have been working in the [[Royal Hope Hospital]] and met [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] and [[Luke Smith]], as well as [[Maria Jackson]] and [[Clyde Langer]].


As the hospital was moved to the moon, the oxygen ran out, and so everyone in the hospital, including Martha, was left to die of suffocation. She gave the last oxygen tank to fellow student [[Oliver Morgenstern]] before dying, and he was the only survivor. ([[DW]]: ''[[Turn Left]]'')
In [[2016]] she was transformed into a [[Gargoyle (The Transformed)|Gargoyle]] due to the effects of a wormhole passing through [[San Francisco]]. Mickey aided the [[Ninth Doctor]] to close the wormhole, which returned Martha to her normal state. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Transformed (comic story)|The Transformed]]'')

In [[2022]], Martha was one of many former allies of the Doctor who had recently gone mysteriously missing, including [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]], [[Ryan Sinclair|Ryan]], [[Luke Smith|Luke]], [[Clyde Langer|Clyde]], and [[Jo Grant|Jo]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Hysteria (audio story)|Hysteria]]'') due to a [[psychic virus]] infecting the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] and targeting people who had had contact with her. The Doctor and [[Cleo Proctor]] eventually restored the disappeared. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Salvation (audio story)|Salvation]]'')
*The Doctor: ''Well, there we go, universal roaming.''

*The Doctor: ''Never have to worry about a signal again.''
*Martha Jones: ''No way. This is too mad. You're telling me I can phone anyone anywhere in space and time on my mobile''?
*The Doctor: ''As long as you know the area code.'' ([[DW]]: [[42]])


The Doctor on Martha
===Undated events===
*The Doctor: ''Martha Jones, you saved the world!''
Martha once had a date with [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Frozen Wastes (short story)|The Frozen Wastes]]'')
*Martha Jones: ''Yes, I did! I spent a lot of time with you thinking I was second best, but do you know what...? I <i>am</i> good!'' ([[DW]]: [[Last of the Time Lords]])


Martha on leaving the Doctor
Martha's record as a [[companion]] of the Doctor was taken by [[UNIT]] in the [[Black Archive]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')
*Martha Jones: ''The thing is, it's like my friend Vicky. She lived with this bloke, student housing, there were five of them, all packed in, and this bloke was called Sean. And she loved him. She did, she completely adored him, spent all day long talking about him!''
*The Doctor: ''Is this... going anywhere?''
*Martha: ''Yes!''
:([[The Doctor]] nods)
*Martha: '''Cause he never looked at her twice. I mean he liked her. That was it. And she wasted <i>years</i> pining after him, years of her life. Cause while he was around, she never looked at anyone else! And I told her, I always said to her, time and time again I said "Get out". So this is me... getting out.'' ([[DW]]: [[Last of the Time Lords]])

The Doctor felt some guilt regarding Martha while in his eleventh incarnation. ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'')
*Martha Jones: ''Yes...I know who you are.'' ([[DW]]: [[The Stolen Earth]]


==Other information==
[[Alice O'Donnell]], a native of the year 2119, knew of Martha, [[Rose Tyler]] and [[Amy Pond]] as past companions of the Doctor due to her work in military intelligence. When the [[Twelfth Doctor]] took her back to 1980, O'Donnell voiced her doubt that Martha would have vomited following her first trip in the TARDIS as her colleague [[Mason Bennett]] had done. ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'')
*The length of time Martha spent travelling with the Doctor during her first adventures in the TARDIS has never been defined, but is known to include approximately three months spent in [[1913]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Human Nature]]'' / ''[[Family of Blood]]''), a year in [[Year That Never Was|an alternate timeline]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]''), and an undefined period trapped in [[1969]] that was long enough to require her to find employment in order to support the Doctor ([[DW]]: ''[[Blink]]'').


*While investigating the Pharm for Torchwood, she posed as an applicant to join a medical study. While doing so, she adopted the name [[Samantha Jones]]. Coincidentally, [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] had earlier had a companion named [[Sam Jones]].
Shortly before his regeneration began, the Twelfth Doctor dreamt of Martha saying his name. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'')


*There is an account that suggests that at one point she and the Doctor were separate -- for only a few hours from Martha's perspective, but for nearly three years from the Doctor's viewpoints ([[DW]]: ''[[The Infinite Quest]]'')  
=== Other realities ===
==== Parallel World ====
Martha Jones had her life changed for the worse on [[25 June]] [[2007]], when [[Donna Noble]] created [[parallel world (Turn Left)|a parallel world]] by turning right instead of left. She was inside the [[Royal Hope Hospital (Turn Left)|Royal Hope Hospital]] when it was transported to [[the Moon (Turn Left)|the Moon]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Turn Left (TV story)|Turn Left]]'') There, the hospital was invaded by [[Judoon]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Turn Left (TV story)|Turn Left]]'', ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'') A woman — [[Sarah Jane Smith (Turn Left)|Sarah Jane Smith]] — took control of the situation. With the hospital running out of air, Martha gave the last oxygen tank to one of her colleagues, [[Oliver Morgenstern#Parallel World|Oliver Morgenstern]]. She died as a result, leaving him the only survivor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Turn Left (TV story)|Turn Left]]'')


*There is an unconfirmed piece of information that suggests Martha was born in [[1984]], making her 25 in [[2009]] (''[[Doctor Who (IDW)|Doctor Who]]'' comic, IDW Publishing).


*Martha is fluent in German, although she speaks it with a noticeable English accent ([[DW]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'').
==Personality==
[[File:Martha Jones the Carer.png|thumb|Martha Jones is ready to help those on need. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Infinite Quest (TV story)|The Infinite Quest]]'')]]
Martha was an intelligent, brave and kind-hearted woman with a great sense of humour. When she was a prisoner of the Daleks, one of them confirmed that she possessed high intelligence. ([[TV]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan (TV story)|Daleks in Manhattan]]'') The Doctor was impressed with her theory about having air on the Moon, and he asked her to join him in the hospital balcony to see if they could breathe. ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'') She rose to every challenge the Doctor gave her: watching after him while he was human, and walking the world for a year. ([[TV]]: ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'', ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'')


*Martha is UNIT number 56671. ([[DW]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'')
Martha was willing to accept and defend non-humans as friends. She greeted unusual looking species with wonder and even treated injuries. ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'', ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'') She quickly adapted pattern of speech and gesture to communicate more effectively with other species. ([[TV]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan (TV story)|Daleks in Manhattan]]'', ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'')


*Martha has a tattoo on her upper right arm; she is one of the only companions known to have such markings (although the [[Third Doctor|third incarnation]] of the Doctor was also seen to sport a tattoo soon after his regeneration ([[DW]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'')).
Martha quickly developed a crush on the Doctor and always wondered if he even noticed her. Martha was envious of [[Joan Redfern (TV character)|Joan Redfern]] when the Doctor made himself a human named [[John Smith (Tenth Doctor)|John Smith]] and fell in love with her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]''/''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]'')


*Martha has a particular fondness for milkshakes and early in her travels with the Doctor she asked him to help her find the ultimate milkshake ([[IDW]]: ''[[Agent Provocateur]]''; [[IDW]]: ''[[Black Death White Life]]'').
In [[the Year That Never Was]], Martha admitted that she loved the Doctor, but after [[Harold Saxon|the Master's]] defeat, she decided that holding on to the hope that he would return her feelings was not good for her. Her feelings for him, in addition to the enormous ordeal she had been put through, strained her relationship with the Doctor to the point that she decided to leave the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'') She was later engaged to Tom, but eventually married [[Mickey Smith]] instead. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')


==Key Life Events==
Her time walking the Earth gave rise to a more soldier-like and less naive side of Martha. Nevertheless, she retained her kindness, sense of adventure, and fierce determination to do the right thing. Despite their strained relationship, she remained loyal to the Doctor, and indeed took many of his teachings to heart. For instance, despite her work at UNIT, she very rarely carried a gun. She explicitly stated that by working inside UNIT, she might be able to change it for the better. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Story of Martha (short story)|The Story of Martha]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'')
*Martha meets [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] and decides to go travelling with him ([[DW]]: ''[[Smith and Jones]]'')
*On an Earth ruled by "[[Harold Saxon]]" and his servants, the [[Toclafane]], Martha spends [[Year That Never Was|a year]] fighting the occupation and ensuring the Doctor's victory. She also meets [[Thomas Milligan]] for the first time ([[DW]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'').
*Martha decides to leave the Doctor and strike out on her own ([[DW]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'').
*Martha joins [[UNIT]] as a medical officer (Mentioned [[TW]]: ''[[Reset (Torchwood story)|Reset]]'')
*Engagement to Thomas Milligan (Mentioned [[DW]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem]]'')]
*Temporarily works with [[Torchwood 3]] ([[TW]]: ''[[Reset]]'')
*Reunion with [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Poison Sky]]'')
*Gets promoted by UNIT to work on [[Project Indigo]] in [[New York City]] (Mentioned [[DW]]: [[The Stolen Earth]])
*Martha is given the [[Osterhagen Key]] by [[Sanchez|General Sanchez]]. He is then exterminated as she teleports to her mothers house. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'').
*Helps defeat [[Davros]] and the [[Dalek]]s with the help of [[The Doctor]] and the rest of his companions. She then returns to [[Earth]] and carries on her life. Jack seems to suggest that she should join [[Torchwood]] again. ([[DW]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'')
*Marries Thomas Milligan and went on her honeymoon ([[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth]]'')


==Behind the scenes==
Although she had cause to be jealous of Rose Tyler, Martha seemed genuinely happy for the Doctor when he and Rose were reunited. She got along very well with Donna Noble. After the Year That Never Was, Martha became a close friend of [[Jack Harkness]] and although she did not seem to return his overtures, she did not mind when he flirted with her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'') She even [[kiss]]ed him when she left her temporary assignment to the Torchwood team, claiming that "everyone else has had a go." ([[TV]]: ''[[A Day in the Death (TV story)|A Day in the Death]]'')
* The arm tattoo sported by Martha is Agyeman's own real-life tattoo. Although Agyeman has been described as the first major Doctor Who cast member to be so adorned, in fact [[Jon Pertwee]] was seen sporting an arm tattoo in [[DW]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]''.
* The ''Torchwood'' audio drama ''[[Lost Souls]]'', broadcast in September 2008, takes place prior to the events of the Series 4 finale.  
* Martha's last scene in ''[[Journey's End]]'' opens the door for a possible return in ''[[Torchwood]]''. Although there were unconfirmed rumours that Agyeman was seen at a ''Torchwood'' filming location, she did not appear in [[Series_3 (Torchwood)|Children Of Earth]] and was stated in the serial to still be in UNIT.
* ''The Sun'' and other media reported in late January that Martha will return in one of the final David Tennant specials, but this has not been confirmed by the BBC, either. Plus in March 2009 they reported she would be returning with [[Donna Noble]] and [[Rose Tyler]].
* With Martha and her phone on Earth, the Doctor can be alert of any threat to the planet. While this has been featured on ''Doctor Who'' itself, it is unsurprisingly ignored for narrative convenience in ''Torchwood'' and ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''.
* Martha is the only major character in ''Torchwood ''who is not LGBT or had a homosexual incounter. But Martha could be bisexual, seeing as there has been no confirmations that she is heterosexual.

==Skills==
* [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/characters/martha.shtml Martha Jones on the BBC's ''Doctor Who'' website]
Martha had a scientific mind. Her knowledge, analytical and problem solving skills were frequently on display. ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'', ''[[The Shakespeare Code (TV story)|The Shakespeare Code]]'', ''[[Daleks in Manhattan (TV story)|Daleks in Manhattan]]'', ''[[The Lazarus Experiment (TV story)|The Lazarus Experiment]]'', ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]''/''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]'' ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'', ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'', ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'') Her knowledge and logic allowed her to execute very complicated coordinated plans based on very little information from the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'') She was shown to competently speak German. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'') She also proved handy with [[martial arts]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Swarm Enemies (comic story)|Swarm Enemies]]'') and a gun. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') Of course, her medical skills were her most developed, especially after the experience she gained with aliens and other unusual medical situations; finding her working with organisations such as [[UNIT]] and [[Torchwood Three]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'', ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'', ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'', ''[[A Day in the Death (TV story)|A Day in the Death]]'')

==Behind the scenes==
===''Torchwood'' and ''SJA''===
Martha's last scene in ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'' was interpreted as opening the door for a possible return to ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]''. Although there were unconfirmed rumours that Agyeman was seen at a ''Torchwood'' filming location, she did not appear in the ''[[Series 3 (Torchwood)|Children of Earth]]'' miniseries; she was referenced in dialogue as still being with UNIT. Her subsequent appearance at the end of [[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' again fuelled speculation of a possible future ''Torchwood'' appearance, which did not come about in the revived ''Torchwood''.


{{Template:Companions of the Tenth Doctor}}
[[Russell T Davies]] originally intended for Martha to appear in ''[[Series 3 (Torchwood)|Torchwood: Children of Earth]]'' miniseries and ''[[Enemy of the Bane (TV story)|Enemy of the Bane]]'', the [[Series 2 (SJA)|series 2]] finale of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. Freema Agyeman's casting in the ITV series ''Law & Order: UK'' resulted initially in her ''Torchwood'' appearance (along with an appearance by Mickey Smith) being reduced to a cameo, and then eliminated completely.


Later, her schedule also precluded Agyeman from appearing in ''Sarah Jane'', resulting in [[Nicholas Courtney]] returning as [[the Brigadier]] instead. ([[REF]]: ''[[Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale|Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale - The Final Chapter]]'') Had she appeared in these two productions, she would have been the first major character to play an important role in ''Doctor Who'' and both of its direct spin-offs (even including the Doctor, who to date has not appeared in ''Torchwood'').


===Other matters===
*[[Freema Agyeman]] was the first black female companion on televised ''Doctor Who''. The first one in other media was [[Sharon Davies]].
*The arm [[tattoo]] sported by Martha is Agyeman's own real-life tattoo. Although Agyeman has been described as the first major ''Doctor Who'' cast member to be so adorned, in fact [[Jon Pertwee]] sported an arm tattoo in the television stories ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)|Doctor Who and the Silurians]]''.
*Martha seems to be a popular character for writers to have impersonated by someone else. Aside from the TV story ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'' / ''[[The Poison Sky (TV story)|The Poison Sky]]'', in which a clone was created, ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'', a comic story arc and two instalments of the [[BBC Writers' Comics]] online series all featured plotlines involving fake Marthas.
*The commentary for ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' revealed that her honeymoon mentioned in ''[[Children of Earth: Day One (TV story)|Children of Earth: Day One]]'' referred to her marriage with Mickey Smith, although this was never referenced on-screen.
*"Martha's Theme" is included in the [[Doctor Who - Series 3 (soundtrack)|Doctor Who - Series 3 soundtrack]]. Her name appears in three other tracks on the disc: "Only Martha Knows", "Martha's Quest" and "Martha Triumphant".
*It was proposed that Martha come from [[1914]].<ref>http://www.shannonsullivan.com/doctorwho/serials/2007a.html</ref>
*Although Martha's birth year was given as 1986 in the short story ''[[The Frozen Wastes (short story)|The Frozen Wastes]]'', her date of birth was stated to be 14 September 1984 in ''[[The Torchwood Archives]]''. The 14 September 1984 birth date matches with the age of 23 as of her debut in ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'', given by [[Russell T Davies]] in a ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 373|373]] interview and published in the [[2009 (releases)|2009]] edition of ''[[The Visual Dictionary (2009 reference book)|The Visual Dictionary]]''.
*She was written out of the show because [[Russell T Davies]] felt that her unrequited crush on the Doctor would get stale after a while.{{fact}}

Martha Jones
Gallery
Appearances

Dr Martha Smith-Jones (née Jones) was a British physician and a companion of the Tenth Doctor.

She met the Doctor when she was a medical student at Royal Hope Hospital in London when the hospital was transported to the Moon by Judoon troops, after which she began travelling with the Time Lord.

She fell in love with him and expressed her feelings to John Smith, hoping the Doctor would not remember her honesty, and again in the TARDIS before ceasing her travels with him. She stopped travelling due to this unrequited love and the toll The Year That Never Was had on her and her family, but did not cut him off, giving him a phone to contact her and promising that he would see her again. She continued to have a number of adventures, both with and without him, thanks to her work with UNIT and Torchwood.

Martha also went on to marry Mickey Smith, and the two broke out on their own to become freelance alien fighters. She encountered the Doctor again before he regenerated, saving her life one more time from a Sontaran.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Early life[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha Jones was born on 14 September 1984 (PROSE: The Torchwood Archives) to Francine and Clive Jones. According to another account, she was born in 1986. She had an older sister named Tish, a younger brother, Leo, and a niece, Keisha Jones, who was Leo's daughter. (PROSE: The Frozen Wastes) Francine chose the name Martha simply because she liked the sound of it. (PROSE: Wooden Heart) Martha grew up on the outskirts of London's sprawl. (PROSE: Peacemaker) She decided to become a doctor when she grew up after an incident involving her brother when she was a child; once, Leo pushed her on a swing so hard that she flew off the seat and broke her arm. Going to the hospital and looking at X-rays fascinated her and inspired her to go into the medical field. (PROSE: The Frozen Wastes) Martha grew up with her mother when her parents divorced and was often forced to play peacekeeper in continual family arguments. Tish and Leo also lived with them, with Martha sleeping in their home's smallest room. (PROSE: Wooden Heart) Martha devoured Annette Billingsley's The Troubleseekers, a thirty-two book series, around the age of eight; they were the first books that she ever read. She later read Harry Potter and His Dark Instruments. (PROSE: The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage) Martha had three trumpet lessons in Year 6 of primary school. (COMIC: House Pests)

When Francine invited guests to dinner, Martha and her sister were expected to "perform" for the guests by handing out nibbles while Francine bragged that Martha was going to be a leading surgeon. Martha hated the attention and it caused friction between her and Tish, who embraced the attention.

Prior to meeting the Doctor, Martha attended a Mika concert in Denmark. (PROSE: The Pirate Loop)

At university, Martha was friends with Holly. After Holly's mother died, they lost touch. (AUDIO: The Last Diner)

In 2007, she lost her cousin Adeola Oshodi, who worked for Torchwood One, in the Battle of Canary Wharf. (TV: Army of Ghosts) She would note that they had shared a resemblance. (PROSE: Made of Steel)

With the Tenth Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

First meeting[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha first met the Tenth Doctor in the 2000s[nb 1] on her way to her job as a student doctor at the Royal Hope Hospital in London, where she was studying under Mr Stoker. Without introducing himself, the Doctor merely took off his tie and said, "Like so, see?", before walking off. Unbeknownst to Martha at the time, he was demonstrating the nature of time travel. She met him again at the hospital, where he was posing as a patient named John Smith, not realising that the man she saw earlier was a future version of him; she also listened to his heartbeat, discovering that he had two hearts, but stayed quiet about it.

Later that same day the hospital was transported to the Moon by the Judoon. Calm while those around her panicked, Martha worked with the Doctor to track down the Plasmavore, "Florence Finnegan", for whom the Judoon were searching. During this encounter, the Doctor was quickly impressed with Martha's reasoning and intelligence, such as when she deduced that opening the windows wouldn't result in the air being sucked out; it would've happened already anyway if it were going to happen at all as the windows weren't airtight. Despite listening to his heartbeat, however, Martha was sceptical about him being an alien, until the Judoon's scanners confirmed that he wasn't human.

As the oxygen in the hospital ran out, Martha gave her last breaths to resuscitate the clinically-dead Doctor, who had thwarted Florence's plan. The Judoon returned the hospital to Earth. That evening, after another family argument at her brother Leo's party, a recovered Martha was approached by the Doctor, who revealed that he was a Time Lord and invited her to join him on what he initially described as a "single trip" through time and space in the TARDIS. (TV: Smith and Jones)

Travels with the Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor took Martha to 1599 where they met William Shakespeare, who flirted with her and called her his "Dark Lady". The three of them used a "spell" to defeat a trio of witch-like Carrionites who were using Shakespeare's play Love's Labour's Won as a spell to bring other Carrionites to Earth; Martha's use of the word "Expelliarmus" when Shakespeare was unable to think of the right word to end on proved vital in defeating them. The Carrionites, along with the play, were sealed away. (TV: The Shakespeare Code)

Martha's next trip was to New New York, where they landed in the Undercity. Learning the Doctor had also visited New Earth with Rose, Martha worried she was a "rebound" companion. Martha was kidnapped by a couple driving through the Motorway who wanted a third passenger to use an express lane; the three of them were later almost killed by the Macra, but escaped when the Doctor opened up the Motorway. After the two were reunited, Martha witnessed the death of the Face of Boe and heard his final words, "You are not alone". Before they departed New Earth, The Doctor told Martha about his home planet and the Last Great Time War. (TV: Gridlock)

The Doctor extended Martha's trip in the TARDIS yet again, going to 1930 New York City, where the two of them became entangled in a mystery and found the population of Hooverville being transformed into pig slaves (TV: Daleks in Manhattan) as part of the Cult of Skaro's plans to build a race of human-Daleks. (TV: Evolution of the Daleks) Martha and a group of Hooverville residents were abducted and nearly converted into human-Daleks, (TV: Daleks in Manhattan) but the Doctor created a loud noise and allowed the humans to escape. After the Doctor was escorted back to the Daleks to help them, the Doctor handed Martha his psychic paper and Martha went with Tallulah and Frank to the top floor of the Empire State Building, pretending to be engineers and an architect, and realised the Daleks had taken over the Empire State Building while working with Mr Diagoras and placed Dalekanium on the mast to power their experiment. While the Doctor got in the way of the lightning strike hitting the mast, Martha and Frank connected metal rods from the outside of the building to the lift shaft as the lightning struck the building, killing the pig slaves inside the lift which were chasing after the Doctor. (TV: Evolution of the Daleks)

After the Cult of Skaro's defeat, the Doctor returned Martha home to twelve hours after she had left. He overheard a TV news story about a man promising to "change what it means to be human", and escorted her to the presentation of Prof. Richard Lazarus' rejuvenation device. Uncovering the disastrous effects of Lazarus' work, the Doctor, Martha, and her sister Tish helped to kill the monster Lazarus had become. Afterwards, the Doctor offered Martha one more trip, but she refused. She no longer wanted to be just a passenger, and so the Doctor invited her aboard the TARDIS, as a full-time companion. (TV: The Lazarus Experiment)

Following a Calamity Lamp, the TARDIS landed on the planet Loam inside the head of a High Goliax, which was being controlled by a child called Kipe. Martha was separated from the Doctor when Kipe ejected her from the head. She was caught in a winged flying chariot piloted by Sugarpea, the planet's former prime minister who was responsible for having her world demolished after being unable to pay a loan to the Krib bank, who hoped to save the world. Martha, Sugarpea and Sweetleaf went to the Museum of Politics, but Sugarpea locked the others inside to sacrifice her life to end her debt to the Krib. She used a loophole in her contract with the Krib to become dictator of Loam, and nullify the planet's debt after being punished by the death penalty. Martha followed her to the Krib and reunited with the Doctor, but was unable to save Sugarpea. The Doctor and Martha ran through a space portal to a High Goliax head while followed by "giant leggy things that used to be the insides of a computer", which the Doctor went on to explain were the minds of the High Goliax finding their way home after being ripped from their skulls centuries before. After the children inside the High Goliax heads were evacuated, Martha told the planet's Prime Minister that it would be "a good time to welcome your new immigrant population". (COMIC: The Woman Who Sold the World)

They answered a distress signal in the 42nd century Torajii system: a ship falling towards the sun. The sun was a sentient being possessing the crew members and killing them off, and Martha herself was nearly jettisoned entirely from the ship when she took refuge in an escape pod. She later played an instrumental role in saving the ship when the Doctor found himself possessed as well. During this adventure, Martha had a brief romance with one of the ship's crew, Riley Vashtee. He wanted her to stay but she chose to remain with the Doctor. (TV: 42)

The Doctor and Martha visited the Great Solar Shield, which was used to partially block sunlight from 21st century Earth to ease the effect of global warming. A race called the Silhouettes began leeching energy from the Shield and its crew. The colour in Martha's shirt scared off the Silhouettes, who instead began heading for Earth. The Doctor realigned the Shield's prismatic mirrors to refract a rainbow towards the Silhouettes, scaring them off. This caused the Silhouettes to flee and the Great Solar Shield's crew were returned to Earth in the TARDIS. (COMIC: Sunscreen)

To escape the Family of Blood, who were hunting him, the Doctor used the Chameleon Arch to turn himself into a human with no memory or knowledge of the Doctor, containing his true self inside a fob watch. Before doing so, the Doctor recorded a video of instructions for Martha to follow so she might reference them in the future. He then became John Smith, a teacher at an English public school in 1913, where Martha took a job as a maid at the school to keep an eye on him, hiding the TARDIS in a shed. Martha watched helplessly as Smith fell in love with the school nurse, Joan Redfern, as he had not mentioned falling in love in his instructions. exclaiming he "had to go and fall in love with a human and it wasn't [her]". When the Family of Blood tracked them down after student Tim Latimer opened the fob watch, wreaking havoc on the town and school, Martha convinced John Smith to sacrifice his human life and love by reverting to the Doctor. He defeated the Family of Blood, left a heartbroken Joan and rejoined Martha in the TARDIS. (TV: Human Nature/The Family of Blood)

When the Doctor used a time machine to follow time assassins from 27th century Mars to 21st century London, Martha received a phone call from the Doctor in the past telling her that he had saved the Mayor of London's lineage from being destroyed, but the assassins had found him. Assisted by DI Moloch, Martha attacked a time assassin controlled laboratory to reverse the controls of the time machine that brought the Doctor back in time. After returning to the 27th century, the Doctor destroyed the unsafe time machine to prevent anyone else from fiddling with it. (COMIC: Bus Stop!)

The Doctor took Martha to Antarctica in 1915 to see the aurora australis. They met Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition near where the Endurance was trapped in the ice. When the biologist Robert Clark had begun turning into a Skith after being in contact with a whale whose DNA was altered by the Skith, a group including the Doctor, Martha, and some of Shackleton's crew followed Clark to the Skith ship Oppressor One. The Skith imprisoned the group and prepared to study and dissect them, but after Shackleton got through to Clark, Clark released them. Martha brought most of the group apart from the Doctor and Shackleton back to the Endurance in the TARDIS, and watched as the Doctor and Shackleton sent the Oppressor One into the sun. Martha reversed the controls of the TARDIS to head back to the Oppressor One and rescue the Doctor and Shackleton. (COMIC: The First)

Stranded in 1969[[edit] | [edit source]]

At some point, while dealing with "four things and a lizard" in London minutes before the Red Hatching in in the 2000s,[nb 2] the Doctor and Martha met Sally Sparrow, who seemed to know them; however, Martha and the Doctor did not know her yet. Sally gave the Doctor and Martha a folder full of photographs and other documents; claiming that they would need it in the future. (TV: Blink)

Some time later, after a brief adventure on a planet filled with fictional characters, (PROSE: The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage) Martha and the Doctor travelled to Wester Drumlins in the 2000s, where Weeping Angels sent them back to London in 1969, with the TARDIS stuck in the 2000s. (TV: Blink)

Martha talks with the Thirteenth Doctor. (COMIC: A Little Help from My Friends)

With her and the Doctor stranded, Martha took a job as a shop girl at a London clothes shop called Face Fashion. During one of her shifts, she was visited by the Thirteenth Doctor, who was hoping to figure out why she had been bought back to this time and place. After the Doctor took her for tea and ultimately revealed her identity to her, Martha and the Doctor investigated the sudden appearance of the Autons in London. The Tenth and Thirteenth Doctors were eventually forced to meet and, with the help of Martha and the Thirteenth Doctor's friends, they discovered the Nestene Consciousness below the River Thames. Luckily, a Weeping Angel had followed them, and it sent the Consciousness back in time, ending a new invasion after it had barely began. (COMIC: A Little Help from my Friends)

When Billy Shipton was sent back to 1969, he was welcomed by Martha and the Doctor. From there, the Doctor, with Billy's aid, helped Sally Sparrow recover the TARDIS in the future, finally enabling them to leave 1969. She briefly appeared in the video message the Doctor had made for Sally, complaining that the Doctor promised her all of space and time but she had to work in a shop to support him, before apologising for bursting in. (TV: Blink)

Further travels with the Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor and Martha landed at Research Base Truro, where they found the dead bodies of aliens after something "terrible" had happened. Unknown to them, the aliens had killed each other after assuming the Doctor was among them following the death of Kraarn in an electrical accident. (COMIC: Death to the Doctor!)

At some point, the Doctor and Martha took a quick jaunt to Atlantis. They initially wanted merely to visit, but when the Doctor detected the presence of vortex manipulator signals, they rushed to their source only to be confronted with River Song, time-travelling archaeologist and the Doctor's future wife. The Doctor was surprised to hear River call him "sweetie" and call herself his wife, and River realised this was an earlier version of the Tenth Doctor than she was meant to encounter. As a result, before making her escape, she "slapped a Memory Worm on [him] while [he was]n't looking", causing him — but not Martha — to forget the encounter. (GAME: Lost in Time)

An energy stream from a distress beacon forced the TARDIS down to a planet, where a girl called Cora had been attacked in the woods by a beast. After returning Cora to the village, Martha had discovered the villagers had similar bite marks on them and were anaemic. The bio-mechanical beast, Viktor, tried taking both the Doctor and Martha to the Thane's castle, but Gideon freed the Doctor. Martha realised that the Thane had unwittingly given the villagers septicaemia from his biopsy device. When the Doctor and Gideon arrived, Martha tried and failed to stop the Doctor from destroying the neuropathic generator that was pacifying the Khamirae villagers, but also prevented them from transforming into beasts. After the Doctor destroyed the generator, Gideon and the rest of the villagers began transforming into bestial forms. When the Doctor knocked out Gideon, he realised that the Thane and Viktor were using DNA samples from the villagers to extend the Thane's lifespan so they could continue watching over them after repeated cloning of the Thane degraded his pattern. Martha held off the attacking Khamirae as the Doctor repaired the generator at the cost of Viktor's life. The Doctor suggested to the Thane to lower the output of the generator every so often so the Khamirae could control their transformations. The Thane refused to clone himself any further and decided to spend the remainder of his life letting the Khamirae come to terms with who they truly were. (COMIC: Universal Monsters)

While the Doctor tried tracing an etheric beam in a town centre, Martha relaxed at a coffee shop. She watched people walk past, and noticed the same identical old woman appearing to walk past in different directions and in and out of different shops. Martha followed the old woman into an antiques shop, where she discovered twenty identical women, who were members of an alien species using etheric antennae to report to the fleet commander. Martha threatened the disguised aliens with one of their guns, and they stumbled into one another, causing one of them to drop its antennae. The aliens lost their etheric energy and were unable to contact their fleet. They were enveloped in a green light and vanished. (PROSE: Needle Point)

The Doctor and Martha travelled back in time to the creation of Stonehenge to figure out why it was there. They waited inside the TARDIS as it materialised for a few moments at the same time each year and had a series of snapshots taken with the TARDIS scanner for the Doctor and Martha to look at as the stone structures were set up over time. The Doctor found it fun but not very instructive. Though the Doctor and Martha refused to go outside the TARDIS, parking the TARDIS at the same spot each year during dawn at the summer solstice had unwittingly influenced the construction of Stonehenge. (PROSE: The Secret of the Stones)

Martha was relaxing on the beach of a planet when she heard a voice call her name in the jungle. She saw faces in the water, on the ground and on the tree bark and leaves, all staring at her. Martha ran back to the beach, and the Doctor pulled her by the hand. The Doctor explained that the environment collapsed, causing one hundred years of acid rain, dissolving the planet's people and their civilisation, somehow making them into a collective mind that was part of the planet for millions of years. Because they had run out of stories, the world intended to make the Doctor and Martha join them as they had new stories to tell. The Doctor rushed Martha back to the TARDIS before the falling acid rain could hit them. (PROSE: The Planet That Wept)

The Doctor and Martha visited a fanatically religious planet about to be struck by an asteroid, (AUDIO: The Last Diner) and helped a group of miners in Nevada who had been forced to mine silver to repair an alien spaceship. (AUDIO: Silver Medal)

Following a short pit-stop in Cardiff, and unknowingly picking up Captain Jack Harkness, the TARDIS took Martha and the Doctor to the end of the universe, and the planet Malcassairo. Martha was taken back by Jack's immortality before the two discussed the circumstances of Jack's last encounter with the Doctor, becoming increasingly jealous of Rose and concerned that she was going to be abandoned just as Jack was one day. After fleeing from the Futurekind, they stayed at Silo 16, where they encountered the last humans in the universe, who were assisted in reaching Utopia by Professor Yana, and Martha briefly befriended his assistant Chantho. An observant Martha noticed that the Professor had a watch similar to the Doctor's biodata module, prompting him to open it. The human Yana was transformed back into the Doctor's Time Lord nemesis, the Master, and escaped in the TARDIS. (TV: Utopia)

Martha, Jack, and the Doctor used Jack's vortex manipulator to travel back to 21st century Earth, arriving the day after Harold Saxon was voted Prime Minister. Mr Saxon was in fact an alias of the Master, who had been living on Earth for months since his departure from Malcassairo; the Doctor explained that, before the Master fled Utopia, he sabotaged the TARDIS by fusing the coordinates with his sonic screwdriver so that it could only travel between 21st century Earth and the end of the universe, adding that he could've only landed up to 18 months prior to the day they picked Jack up from Cardiff. The Doctor also constructed three perception filters using TARDIS keys in order to avoid detection, the three of them declared Earth's most wanted. The Master, who had been manipulating Martha's family since she became a full-time companion, had Francine, Clive, and Tish arrested, although Leo escaped, Martha calling and warning him before the Master could find him. As her family, Jack, and the Doctor were all taken prisoner aboard the Valiant, Martha teleported back to Earth with a mission to defeat the Master. (TV: The Sound of Drums)

The Year That Never Was[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha knew what she had to do: spread the word of the Doctor. She first travelled from England to rebel camps in Europe, where she met the Brigadier's son Erik Calvin, and was later interned in a concentration camp in Japan. Throughout her travels she also visited the ruins of New York City, and fusion camps in China. (PROSE: The Story of Martha)

In America she visited the last diner and was reunited with Holly. To her surprise she was also reunited with her mother, claiming to have escaped the Valiant, however found her scepticism of the Doctor undermined her stories. She was encouraged when a large group gathered to hear her at the diner, however to her horror a rocket hit the diner before she entered, with Holly the only survivor. (AUDIO: The Last Diner)

Martha, Holly and Francine travelled to Nevada to meet the Hope, the largest resistance group in America who were in contact with aliens. Martha disliked their system of competition to earn food, to their leader Jessie's annoyance, and told a story about her and the Doctor visiting a mine in the area a century earlier. After the camp's satellite camouflage was compromised, she helped perusade them to leave to a new camp and then set off to Las Vegas with Francine and Holly. (AUDIO: Silver Medal)

Martha grew suspicious of Holly's behaviour on their way to Las Vegas and confided in Francine whilst they rested at a hotel. She became concerned about Francine's health, though she insisted she was fine, and they were attacked by Toclafane, exposing Holly as an agent of the Master in disguise. She and Francine were cornered by the Toclafane and their leader Miss Beecham, whose certainty Martha was there enabled her to see through the perception filter. To Martha's horror, Beecham revealed Francine was a clone, with the original still a prisoner, and killed her. Beecham subsequently interrogated Martha, wanting to know if she was building a way to kill the Master which Martha realised meant she was trying to replace him. Refusing to give in, Martha hid when the Master's forces arrived to capture Beecham for her treachery and was rescued from hanging over a ledge by the real Holly. She and Holly resolved to continue travelling together in America. (AUDIO: Deceived)

After a year travelling around the world, she met fellow resistance member Tom Milligan. She had spent a year on Earth telling everyone to think of the Doctor at a specific time so the Master could be defeated. This plan worked; the Doctor, who had been previously aged several hundred years by the Master using his laser screwdriver combined with the research of Lazarus, returned to his original form and the Master was shot by his wife, Lucy Saxon. As a result of the destruction of the Master's paradox machine, only Martha, her family, and the people aboard the Valiant retained their memories of that year under the Master. Although the Doctor wanted her to stay with him, Martha felt her family needed her more. She also needed to get out of what she saw was an unhealthy relationship of her hoping the Doctor would finally notice her, and she stayed on Earth to complete her training as a doctor. To keep in touch, Martha gave the Doctor her phone, saying that she would call him when she needed him. (TV: Last of the Time Lords)

UNIT career[[edit] | [edit source]]

Work with Torchwood[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha inside the Torchwood hub. (TV: Reset)

Martha was later recruited by UNIT, something that she and Captain Jack believed happened because the Tenth Doctor put in a good word for her; as Martha recalled, a woman from UNIT "rang out of the blue". She visited Torchwood Three in Cardiff as a UNIT officer, and soon became embroiled in their investigation of the Pharm, acting as an undercover agent. Mayflies were put into her body when she was discovered and captured, prompting Owen Harper to twice save her life: once with an alien surgical device to remove the Mayfly and soon after by taking a bullet meant for her. (TV: Reset)

Martha is captured by the Pharm. (TV: Reset)

Martha witnessed Owen's return as an undead being through the resurrection gauntlet and gave him a posthumous physical. "Death", a force possessing Harper, made the gauntlet attack Martha which aged her considerably, but she reverted back again after Owen defeated the Death being. (TV: Dead Man Walking)

Martha also mended Harper's injured hand when, in a fit of self-destruction after Jack decided to relieve him of duty at Torchwood, he deliberately wounded it. She left once Owen Harper was returned to duty and resumed her work at UNIT. (TV: A Day in the Death)

Back at UNIT, she became engaged to her boyfriend, Thomas Milligan, though he left Britain for a while to go to Africa. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky)

Martha attended Owen and Toshiko Sato's funeral. Some time later, she was informed by Julia Swales of eleven people who had gone missing from CERN and called Jack for Torchwood's help after Julia too went missing and UNIT's own investigation was fruitless. She eventually found the missing people in a building absent from the site plans and discovered that Oliver Harrington, her boss, had been working with a neutron eater in the belief that he could get his late wife back. Harrington and the neutron eater were both killed in the Large Hadron Collider. (AUDIO: Lost Souls)

When Ianto woke up as a woman, Jack sent several emails to Martha, who promised to look into it. (PROSE: Almost Perfect)

Reunion with the Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha called the Doctor when UNIT were about to attack the ATMOS factory which secretly formed a key part of a Sontaran invasion plan. She was working under the "by-the-book" Colonel Mace, who was in charge of the operation, and met the Doctor's companion Donna Noble. Contrary to the Doctor's expectations, the two got along very well, though Martha warned Donna how her own relationship with the Doctor had come at the expense of the wellbeing of her family, and advised her not to repeat her mistake.

Not long after UNIT took control of the factory, Martha was kidnapped by two Sontaran-controlled soldiers and connected to a cloning pool to be copied. She was put to sleep but kept alive; her clone needed her clothes and access to her memories while helping the Sontarans. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem)

Martha's clone died soon after the Doctor rescued Martha and broke the connection, but Martha was able to convince the clone to help them. Before the clone died, it said Martha had many things she wanted to do and she should do them. While chatting with the Doctor and Donna after the Sontarans' defeat, Martha turned down the Doctor's offer to travel again with him. As soon as she had made her refusal clear, the TARDIS dragged them into the Time Vortex. (TV: The Poison Sky)

Martha and the Hath. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter)

Martha walked out of the TARDIS onto the planet Messaline, remarking that even though she did not want to travel with the Doctor any more, she still loved the first step on a new planet. The Doctor was grabbed by human colonisers and his hand put in a Progenation machine, which created his "daughter", Jenny. Soon after, they were attacked by the Hath, which resulted in Martha becoming separated from the Doctor and Donna by a cave-in, and taken by the Hath. After helping the injured Hath Peck, and earning the Hath's trust, they showed her a map of their location. Martha, alongside Hath Peck, went onto the planet's surface in order to meet up with the Doctor and Donna. She slipped into a pit of killer quicksand, but Hath Peck saved her life by sacrificing his own.

Martha found the Temple and was reunited with the Doctor, Donna, and Jenny. It was here they discovered what the humans and Hath were fighting over: the Source, a terraforming device which would make the planet's surface habitable. As the Hath and the humans appeared, the Doctor released the Source. General Cobb was enraged and shot at the Doctor, but Jenny leapt in the way of the bullet, and was killed instead. When the Doctor said that there was a possibility she would come back to life, Martha shook her head and confirmed she was dead. The Doctor returned Martha to Earth. She said a fond farewell to Donna and him, and went off to reunite with her fiancé, Thomas Milligan. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter)

Fighting the Daleks[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha moved to New York after a promotion to the post of Medical Director on Project Indigo, a teleport device using recovered Sontaran technology. Whilst she was working at UNIT HQ in New York City, Earth was transported to the Medusa Cascade. When Daleks attacked the base, General Sanchez ordered Martha to use Project Indigo to escape and contact the Doctor. Sanchez also gave her an Osterhagen Key and ordered her to use it should the need arise. Project Indigo, which had never been tested, (TV: The Stolen Earth) was diverted by the time eddy created by the Crystal of Kronos, and Martha arrived in the crystal chamber in Atlantis. She made notes of the coordinates but, realising she was clearly in the wrong place, then activated Project Indigo again, thinking "There's no place like home". (GAME: Lost in Time) Tapping into her mind, Indigo delivered her back to her house, where she was greeted by her mother.

Harriet Jones had created a low-level signal and contacted Martha, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Smith to assist Earth and defeat the Daleks. Together they contacted the Doctor and summoned him to help them to fight the Daleks. (TV: The Stolen Earth)

Unsure of whether the Doctor would come, Martha decided to use the Osterhagen Key. Leaving her mother, she teleported to Germany and a secret UNIT base, one of several Osterhagen Project activation points. Martha and two other UNIT operatives in other locations prepared to activate the Osterhagen Project, but first contacted the Crucible, warning the Daleks and Davros that she would use the key to destroy Earth rather than let it fall into their hands, giving them the chance to escape unharmed. They transmatted her to the Crucible, however, where she rejoined the Doctor, alongside Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith, Jackie Tyler, Jack, and Sarah Jane. After the arrival of Donna and the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor, they defeated the Daleks and their plans, and the Doctor's companions assisted the Doctor in piloting the TARDIS, towing Earth back to its solar system. (TV: Journey's End)

Martha with Gwen. (AUDIO: Dissected)

After Earth was returned to its proper place, Martha exited the TARDIS with Jack Harkness, who offered her a job with Torchwood. (TV: Journey's End) She ultimately turned it down, feeling that there was too much sadness "baked into the bay" after the deaths of Owen and Tosh. (AUDIO: Dissected)

In Atlantis[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha and Doctor Liz Shaw in a temporally-anomalous Atlantis. (GAME: Lost in Time)

Martha thought that her accidental discovery of Atlantis should be investigated by UNIT and returned there, calling for UNIT backup. Because of the time eddy caused by the Crystal of Kronos, it arrived not in the form of one of her contemporaries but of a young Liz Shaw straight from the mid-20th century. Together, they were confronted with a Sea Devil who explained that the temporal disturbances had awakened their colony, and that they were about to send out a signal to awaken all the other Sea Devils around the world. Martha and Liz convinced them to wait and negotiate, and called the Doctor for help using Martha's mobile phone. The Doctor who arrived was the Thirteenth Doctor. (GAME: Lost in Time)

Last UNIT missions[[edit] | [edit source]]

Around the time of Torchwood's Christmas party, Martha separated from Tom, hence why she did not attend. (AUDIO: Dissected) In 2009, Torchwood phoned Martha for her help identifying how to defeat the Vam. (PROSE: Risk Assessment)

On her last day at a victim-retrieval station in Hereford, Martha agreed to perform an autopsy on Jonathan Dee for Gwen, although she was initially sceptical about the body coming under UNIT's jurisdiction. She reconnected with Gwen, telling her that she and Tom had broken up and that she missed the excitement that she got travelling with the Doctor. After blowing up the station to kill the chameleon, Martha took up Gwen's suggestion of faking her death and going freelance, (AUDIO: Dissected) eventually asking Mickey to join her. (TV: The End of Time)

Freelance work[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha as a freelancer. (TV: The End of Time)

Mickey agreed to go into freelance alien fighting, off the grid, with Martha and the two married, (TV: The End of Time) going on their honeymoon by the time the 456 incident began. (TV: Children of Earth: Day One)

One adventure saw Martha and Mickey battle a Sontaran, Jask. Unknown to them, Jask had them cornered and was about to shoot them from a distance. The Doctor stepped in and knocked out Jask, saving them as his final gift to them prior to his next regeneration. Martha spotted the Doctor. She and Mickey called out to him, but he walked away without saying a word. As the TARDIS left, Martha embraced her husband sadly. (TV: The End of Time)

At some point, Sarah Jane Smith and Martha started to occasionally meet up for coffee. They became friends. Sarah Jane told Martha everything about her son Luke Smith. In 2010, Luke Smith was starting to get nightmares and didn't feel well. Sarah Jane thought that Martha could help and wanted to call her. However Luke told her that he was alright and Sarah Jane didn't call Martha. A short time later Martha and her husband Mickey came to Luke's farewell party after which Luke wanted to go the University of Oxford. (PROSE: The Nightmare Man)

Martha called in the Eleventh Doctor to assist the Japanese branch of UNIT with investigating a mysterious beverage. This was Martha's first interaction with the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor. (COMIC: The Golden Ones)

In 2016 she was transformed into a Gargoyle due to the effects of a wormhole passing through San Francisco. Mickey aided the Ninth Doctor to close the wormhole, which returned Martha to her normal state. (COMIC: The Transformed)

Later life[[edit] | [edit source]]

Mickey and Martha attended Sarah Jane Smith's memorial on a "bright, cold Spring day" with their son August, where they discussed Sarah Jane with other guests, and helped fight the Jackals of the Backwards Clock to foil the Trickster's revenge plot. (WC: Farewell, Sarah Jane)

In 2022, Martha was one of many former allies of the Doctor who had recently gone mysteriously missing, including Graham, Ryan, Luke, Clyde, and Jo, (AUDIO: Hysteria) due to a psychic virus infecting the Thirteenth Doctor and targeting people who had had contact with her. The Doctor and Cleo Proctor eventually restored the disappeared. (AUDIO: Salvation)

Undated events[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha once had a date with Leonardo DiCaprio. (PROSE: The Frozen Wastes)

Martha's record as a companion of the Doctor was taken by UNIT in the Black Archive. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor felt some guilt regarding Martha while in his eleventh incarnation. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

Alice O'Donnell, a native of the year 2119, knew of Martha, Rose Tyler and Amy Pond as past companions of the Doctor due to her work in military intelligence. When the Twelfth Doctor took her back to 1980, O'Donnell voiced her doubt that Martha would have vomited following her first trip in the TARDIS as her colleague Mason Bennett had done. (TV: Before the Flood)

Shortly before his regeneration began, the Twelfth Doctor dreamt of Martha saying his name. (TV: The Doctor Falls)

Other realities[[edit] | [edit source]]

Parallel World[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha Jones had her life changed for the worse on 25 June 2007, when Donna Noble created a parallel world by turning right instead of left. She was inside the Royal Hope Hospital when it was transported to the Moon. (TV: Turn Left) There, the hospital was invaded by Judoon. (TV: Turn Left, Smith and Jones) A woman — Sarah Jane Smith — took control of the situation. With the hospital running out of air, Martha gave the last oxygen tank to one of her colleagues, Oliver Morgenstern. She died as a result, leaving him the only survivor. (TV: Turn Left)


Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha Jones is ready to help those on need. (TV: The Infinite Quest)

Martha was an intelligent, brave and kind-hearted woman with a great sense of humour. When she was a prisoner of the Daleks, one of them confirmed that she possessed high intelligence. (TV: Daleks in Manhattan) The Doctor was impressed with her theory about having air on the Moon, and he asked her to join him in the hospital balcony to see if they could breathe. (TV: Smith and Jones) She rose to every challenge the Doctor gave her: watching after him while he was human, and walking the world for a year. (TV: Human Nature, Last of the Time Lords)

Martha was willing to accept and defend non-humans as friends. She greeted unusual looking species with wonder and even treated injuries. (TV: Utopia, The Doctor's Daughter) She quickly adapted pattern of speech and gesture to communicate more effectively with other species. (TV: Daleks in Manhattan, The Doctor's Daughter)

Martha quickly developed a crush on the Doctor and always wondered if he even noticed her. Martha was envious of Joan Redfern when the Doctor made himself a human named John Smith and fell in love with her. (TV: Human Nature/The Family of Blood)

In the Year That Never Was, Martha admitted that she loved the Doctor, but after the Master's defeat, she decided that holding on to the hope that he would return her feelings was not good for her. Her feelings for him, in addition to the enormous ordeal she had been put through, strained her relationship with the Doctor to the point that she decided to leave the TARDIS. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) She was later engaged to Tom, but eventually married Mickey Smith instead. (TV: The End of Time)

Her time walking the Earth gave rise to a more soldier-like and less naive side of Martha. Nevertheless, she retained her kindness, sense of adventure, and fierce determination to do the right thing. Despite their strained relationship, she remained loyal to the Doctor, and indeed took many of his teachings to heart. For instance, despite her work at UNIT, she very rarely carried a gun. She explicitly stated that by working inside UNIT, she might be able to change it for the better. (PROSE: The Story of Martha, TV: The Sontaran Stratagem, TV: The Doctor's Daughter)

Although she had cause to be jealous of Rose Tyler, Martha seemed genuinely happy for the Doctor when he and Rose were reunited. She got along very well with Donna Noble. After the Year That Never Was, Martha became a close friend of Jack Harkness and although she did not seem to return his overtures, she did not mind when he flirted with her. (TV: Utopia) She even kissed him when she left her temporary assignment to the Torchwood team, claiming that "everyone else has had a go." (TV: A Day in the Death)

Skills[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha had a scientific mind. Her knowledge, analytical and problem solving skills were frequently on display. (TV: Smith and Jones, The Shakespeare Code, Daleks in Manhattan, The Lazarus Experiment, Human Nature/The Family of Blood The Doctor's Daughter, The Sontaran Stratagem, Reset) Her knowledge and logic allowed her to execute very complicated coordinated plans based on very little information from the Doctor. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) She was shown to competently speak German. (TV: Journey's End) She also proved handy with martial arts, (COMIC: Swarm Enemies) and a gun. (TV: The Family of Blood, The End of Time) Of course, her medical skills were her most developed, especially after the experience she gained with aliens and other unusual medical situations; finding her working with organisations such as UNIT and Torchwood Three. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter, The Sontaran Stratagem, Reset, A Day in the Death)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Torchwood and SJA[[edit] | [edit source]]

Martha's last scene in Journey's End was interpreted as opening the door for a possible return to Torchwood. Although there were unconfirmed rumours that Agyeman was seen at a Torchwood filming location, she did not appear in the Children of Earth miniseries; she was referenced in dialogue as still being with UNIT. Her subsequent appearance at the end of TV: The End of Time again fuelled speculation of a possible future Torchwood appearance, which did not come about in the revived Torchwood.

Russell T Davies originally intended for Martha to appear in Torchwood: Children of Earth miniseries and Enemy of the Bane, the series 2 finale of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Freema Agyeman's casting in the ITV series Law & Order: UK resulted initially in her Torchwood appearance (along with an appearance by Mickey Smith) being reduced to a cameo, and then eliminated completely.

Later, her schedule also precluded Agyeman from appearing in Sarah Jane, resulting in Nicholas Courtney returning as the Brigadier instead. (REF: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale - The Final Chapter) Had she appeared in these two productions, she would have been the first major character to play an important role in Doctor Who and both of its direct spin-offs (even including the Doctor, who to date has not appeared in Torchwood).

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  1. ↑ According to the episode The Sound of Drums, Martha Jones' present day during series 3 of Doctor Who takes place over a six-day period, with the Saxon Master being elected three days after Smith and Jones, and the Toclafane invading Earth five days after Smith and Jones. However, sources differ on which dates these stories are set. According to PROSE: The Paradox Moon, the Toclafane invasion happens on 23 June 2007, placing the events of Smith and Jones on 18 June. According to AUDIO: Hysteria, Smith and Jones takes place in 2008, with a UNIT mission log in AUDIO: Recruits referring to the recovery of moon rocks from Royal Hope Hospital in March 2008. A newspaper clipping in PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters places Smith and Jones on a Sunday 4 June, thus placing the Toclafane invasion on Friday 9 June. In the real world, these dates do not fall on a Sunday and Friday in either 2007 or 2008.
  2. ↑ While Blink itself uncontroversially sets its main setting in 2007 and "twenty minutes to Red Hatching" a year later in 2008—as Kathy Nightingale's letter describes taking "one breath in 2007 and the next in 1920", and the Tenth Doctor's side of his conversation with Sally Sparrow in 1969 happens 38 years before Sally says hers—these are contradicted by heavily conflicting dates in the Redacted audio series later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In Angels, Abby McPhail identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests 2009 as the year of the Red Hatching. In Salvation, the Thirteenth Doctor recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of Andy Proctor, who was last seen by his daughter Cleo "nearly 20 years" before 2022 according to Recruits.

Multi-adventures reference the rare instance when a companion is shown or stated to have multiple adventures with the Doctor but only appears in a single story.
If a medium is not mentioned, then this incarnation did not have companions who were original to that medium; it does not mean that this Doctor failed to appear in that medium.
