Tracey, I've seen four reports since that refute this. I'm waiting for the
notice from the BBC before I believe it.

Freema Agyeman Axed From âDoctor Whoâ
BBC says performance just not strong enough
http://syfyportal.com/news423698.html
The following story contains possible MAJOR SPOILERS for the third
season finale of "Doctor Who."
Itâs only been eight episodes since Freema Agyeman (Martha Jones) took
over the role of The Doctorâs companion following the departure of
Billie Piperâs Rose Tyler at the end of the second season. But
apparently thatâs all the BBC needs to see.
According to The Sun newspaper in Scotland, the show's chiefs are a
little underwhelmed by the performance Agyeman has given despite
all-round strong reviews from critics. The newspaper said the BBC was
disappointed in her work in later episodes of the third season which
have yet to be broadcast in the United Kingdom, citing that âher
performance is not as strong as in her earlier episodes.â
And unfortunately for Martha there wonât be a happy ending as, according
to the newspaper, there is a storyline set where she will become lost in
time with The Doctor unable to find her. This, of course, may ring a few
bells with fans of the series who watched Rose Tyler finish with a
similar fate as she becomes stranded in an alternate world following the
events of âDoomsday," the second season finale of the show that marked
Piper's departure.
âFreema is very talented but we donât think she is just right on âDoctor
Who,ââ a source told the newspaper. âNone of this is being done with any
malice. Freemaâs a lovely girl.â
A spokesperson for the series refused to comment on the report, however
if true, this marks the third casting change the series has seen, after
Christopher Eccleston left the show after only a year and Piper departed
at the end of the second season.
Agyeman herself has spoken out on how difficult it was to break into the
show, but praised her co-star David Tennant as a wonder to work with.
During the audition phase in Cardiff, Wales, the actor reportedly left a
note of encouragement and good luck for her at her hotel.
The Sun has provided considerable coverage to the revitalized âDoctor
Whoâ series since its launch in 2005, providing first look photos of
both the Daleks and Cybermen. They also were among the first to announce
that Piper would be leaving the series last year.
"Doctor Who" currently is airing its third season with Agyeman and
Tennant Saturdays on BBC One, while it's expected to make its way to the
United States in July on the SciFi Channel.
