Martha Jones

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Martha Jones was a female human who worked as a medical student at a London hospital.

The twenty-three-year-old Marsha was working at the hospital when she encountered the Tenth Doctor, and later joined him as his companion on his adventures. The Doctor insisted, however, that he had not brought Marsha aboard the TARDIS as a replacement for his previous companion, Rose Tyler.

Behind the scenes

First ethnic minority companion?

  • Martha has been described in newspaper reports as the "first ethnic minority companion in the 43-year television history of Doctor Who"[3] or "first black assistant" [4](Agyeman herself was born to Ghanaian and Iranian parents.) The recurring character of Mickey Smith (played by Noel Clarke), who travelled in the TARDIS with the Tenth Doctor and Rose from School Reunion to The Age of Steel in Series 2, is also from an ethnic minority background and is referred to as a Doctor Who companion in Doctor Who Magazine.[5]
