Freema: “We’ll have to see what we see”

September 8th, 2009

martha_jones_freema_series_4Speaking on the red carpet at last night’s TV Quick & TV Choice Awards in London, Freema Agyeman revealed that she has no idea what will happen in David Tennant’s finale two-parter because she hasn’t read the scripts, but, according to her, being kept in the dark is a blessing rather than a curse…

“I often believe that, in certain situations, ignorance is bliss, because if you don’t know, you don’t know,” she told DigitalSpy. “That’s what I did for the last episode of the last series, too, because I made a point of not reading it while I was doing interviews because I thought, you can’t bleed it out of me then, can you?”

And she also remained tight-lipped when brought up on the rumours that her character, Martha Jones, will be getting married in the anticipated specials, which are due to air at the end of the year.

“There are many things left for Martha, in my mind,” she said. “And maybe in some other people’s minds, too. But whatever happens, we’ll have to see what we see.”

Freema talks Martha, marriage and Karen Gillan!

June 13th, 2009

freema_martha_twFreema Agyeman has addressed the recent rumours regarding Martha’s return in David Tennant’s last episode, as well as the reports that suggested the character will be getting married to Mickey Smith in the story too.

Speaking to DigitalSpy recently, the actress, who played the Doctor’s fiesty companion in Series 3 and 4 of the programme, commented on the tabloid speculation, but was careful not to let any potential spoilers slip.

“You know I can’t confirm or deny anything,” she teased. “There’s always things put out there – some true, some not, and some things that never get out until the day you’re seeing it, which is rare. I will say… just watch!”

When asked about what she thought of Karen Gillan being cast as the new companion in Series 5, she said: “I think she looks great! She’s rocking the Rose look, she’s got the Catherine hair, she’s Scottish like David… we love her! She’s part of the family now.”

She added: “I know there are going to be children and adults out there who will always associate me with Martha Jones, and that’s absolutely fine. Actually, I welcome it, because [the show] changed my life, and it’ll never be something that I’ll think I need to brush off.”

Freema: “Matt Smith will be outstanding”

April 3rd, 2009

smith_11Freema Agyeman has revealed that she’s more than happy with the BBC’s choice of casting for the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith.

The actress, who played the Doctor’s companion, Martha Jones, in Series 3 and 4, told DigitalSpy that she’s confident Smith will be outstanding when he takes on the role for Series 5 in 2010.

“He’s great. I can imagine there must have been a fair few people up for that role,” she said. ”For the producers to have such confidence in him, he must clearly have blown them away.”

She added: “He’s a really good actor in all the other things he’s done. I think he’s going to be outstanding.”

Filming for Series 5 will begin in July.

More Freema Rumours

March 16th, 2009

freema_martha_twIs she coming back? Isn’t she coming back? One thing is for sure – Freema Agyeman’s had to answer nothing but those questions since rumours of a possible comeback were sparked by the press last month. And she fended off the claim again in a recent interview with The Mirror.

“I don’t know where all that came from,” she told the newspaper. ”Nothing is confirmed, but with that show, the door is always open.”

She added: “I have a great relationship with Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies – he texted me on Monday saying he loves Law & Order. It will happen, but whether it’s for the specials or in 10 years’ time I don’t know.”

Freema remains tight-lipped over Who return

February 22nd, 2009

freema_martha_twFreema Agyeman has firmly fended off rumours that she’ll be reprising her role of Martha Jones for David Tennant’s last episode.

“There has been some speculation but nothing has been confirmed,” she told Scotland on Sunday. “Talk to anyone in the world of Who and they’ll say you never feel like you’ve left. Ask Billie Piper. David Tennant bounds on to set every day and says, ‘Right people, what are we doing today? Am I getting strung up, frozen, flung about a room?’ It’s a lovely unique environment because people are so passionate.”

She added: ”It goes beyond a day job. Of course, I would resurrect her when the time is right, whether in 10 years or one.”

Rumours of a possible comeback were sparked in The Sun last month. It’s been claimed that Agyeman was offered the return after filming commitments meant it was impossible for her to shoot her previously planned guest stint in the next series of Torchwood.

But the actress knows she will always be renowned for her role as the Doctor’s fiesty companion, but has revealed that she has no worries about being remembered for it.

“The Who fans are the best,” she said. “The more, the better. Even after the Law & Order launch, there were a group of them waiting for me. That absolutely warms my heart.”

She continued: “In the early days, at award ceremonies I would get out of the car on to the red carpet, hear all the screaming, see all the lights flashing, and look for the Who fans. I’d go straight over and just stay with them.”
