Catherine Tate will take on the assistant's role as Donna Noble, which she played in last year's Christmas special. Just to confuse things, Billie will also be returning and Agyeman pops up again.
It doesn't strike me as very feminist that Doctor Who has gone from one assistant a yeah to a virtual harem.
"It's very clever like that," says Davies with a reproving glance. "There is a very big story coming up and the Doctor needs everyone he has ever needed to fight for him"
Davies promises 'some of the best drama you have seen - tears, tempers, passion, the finest acting.'
I ask if the tenderness between Tennant and Piper was a loss to the show. Piper left to broaden her acting repertoire but has seemed a bit lost lately. Similarly, Christopher Eccleston, Tennant's predecessor, has not surpassed himself outside the role. There is a constant worry about actors leaving the show in case the spell disintegrates.
I wonder if Martha had been to sophisticated and emotionally reserved to win over audiences as Rose had done. Davies is a touch defensive when he explains that Martha was always going to be second best to Rose.
"Thats how we played it, rather than fight it. It would have been an awful moment if the Doctor had said 'Oh, you are like a new Rose to me.'
