Revisiting Series 3 of the modern era of the BBC's DoctorWho, it's pretty clear that FreemaAgyemans' (NewAmsterdam) MarthaJones is the show's most underrated companion. OPINION / DavidTennant RussellTDavies Torchwood
as Martha Jones, the first companion of colour on the show. You could say that Martha was the most underrated, least appreciated companion of the modern era. It did, however, allowto display the full range of his acting in a single season. It also started to raise The Doctor to a mythical figure, the lonely god wandering eternity. It introducedDoctor Who &"The Companion with a Crush". It was still a hugely fun series, with Davies and his writers just hitting the peak of creativity.
Martha was saddled with the most thankless story arc. Yes, she was smarter than most companions because she was a doctor, but she had to be the companion who became smitten with a heartbroken Doctor still mourning the loss of a previous companion, Rose Tyler. It didn't help that's Rose was massively popular and put the show on the map. Freema Agyeman was stuck between Piper's post-pop star career resurgence as a major actor and household namecompanion.
This is not to say Agyeman or Martha are not loved. Davies clearly liked Agyeman enough to feel Martha wasn't completely done since he brought her back to the universe as often as he could after she left the show. She guested onas a UNIT operative. She appeared in the Tenth Doctor's swansong as he said goodbye in his dying hours. Rumours of her returning to the show or one of the upcoming spinoffs are rife.
