As for anyone trying to attribute any blame on her for the failing ratings of the show in Britain, allow me to say this- the BBC has pre-empted the show three times so far this season, for sports or other crap. If you want a show to work, you give it a better chance than Fox gave "Futurama".

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.
