who will be the new "dr who" assistant? (for the new series!)?

Answer 1

There's waaay too many of these questions.
I wish you would do some research first!

This was announced not long ago on the Official Doctor Who website:

" Relax - she's coming back, and branching out too...

While the final episode of Series Three, screened last Saturday , saw The Doctor's companion Martha leave to care for her devastated family, and to break the cycle of unrequited love she feels for The Doctor, the production team has now confirmed that the character is set to make a triumphant return in the fourth series.

Freema Agyeman is also set to join the cast of Torchwood, where she will continue to play the character in three new episodes before returning to Doctor Who in the middle of the fourth series.

As Doctor Who's Executive Producer and head writer, Russell T Davies notes: "Series three has gained outstanding reviews and Freema has been a huge part of that success, gaining rave notices for her portrayal of Martha. Now we are taking the character of Martha into brand new territory with a starring role in Torchwood".

"I can't wait to start filming on Torchwood and the new series of Doctor Who," said Freema. "It's a huge new challenge for me and I'm delighted Russell has decided to expand the character of Martha Jones.'"

The new announcement leaves a vacant space in the TARDIS. A new companion for The Doctor, who will join the new series for the entire 13 week run, will be announced shortly."



And only yesterday, this was announced about the Christmas Special:



" Kylie Minogue on board for Titanic festive special.

We're all feeling lucky, lucky, lucky that Kylie Minogue is to take a major lead role in the hour-long Doctor Who Christmas special, to be broadcast in December 2007.

Especially for you, Kylie will be travelling light years to join David Tennant for the episode, Voyage Of The Damned, which starts filming in July in Cardiff.

"We are delighted and excited to announce that Kylie Minogue will be joining the Doctor," revealed Executive Producer and lead writer Russell T Davies.

"Doctor Who Xmas specials are always a joy and we feel very confident that this will be the most ambitious and best Christmas episode yet."

"It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire Doctor Who production for this year's Christmas special," added Kylie. "Doctor Who enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that."

The production team has also confirmed that the story, written by Russell, will follow on directly from the ending of series three where viewers witnessed the Titanic crash through the Tardis wallså

Full details are currently under wraps, with more information to be announced shortly. We'll confide in you as soon as we can. The fourth series of Doctor Who will be back in the Spring of 2008."



So, in conculsion:
-Martha is coming back, but not for the whole series.
-There will be a new companion for series 4, though it has not yet be announced.
-Kylie Minogue will be helping the Doctor for the Christmas Special.

Just keep a look out on the website's in the sources :)






BIGGGG EEDDDDDDDIIIIIITTTTTT


Cathrine Tate will be the new Doctor's Assistant:

" Catherine Tate accepts proposal to star in fourth series.

Catherine Tate is set to return to the TARDIS for the complete 13 week run of Series Four of Doctor Who.

Award winning comedian Tate will reprise her role as Donna, the runaway bride from last year's Christmas special, despite turning down the Doctor's invitation to travel with him at the end of that adventure.

When Catherine was asked if she would like to become The Doctor's new companion at the press screening of The Runaway Bride, she replied, "I would love to, but no one has asked!" Well, now they have.

"Catherine was an absolute star in The Runaway Bride and we are delighted that one of Britain's greatest talents has agreed to join us for the fourth series," announced Doctor Who's executive producer and head writer, Russell T Davies. "Viewers can expect more ambitious storylines and a whole host of guest stars in 2008."

Catherine Tate added : "I am delighted to be returning to Doctor Who. I had a blast last Christmas and look forward to travelling again through time and space with that nice man from Gallifrey."

Freema Agyeman who has played Martha Jones, The Doctor's companion throughout the critically acclaimed third series, will return to the show to join The Doctor and Donna mid series."

Answer 2

Hasn't been revealed yet. But it will be soon.

BTW. Martha isn't gone, she will be back later in the 4th season apparently. But the Doctor will be getting a new companion as well.

I hope it is a male this time. Kinda tired of the young girl/Doctor thing.

And how about someone over the age of 30?

(Not counting Captain Jack on these, since he was more of a guest star then a companion. And as far as I can find, Tom Ellis is still rumored as the new companion. Until I see it on the BBC website, I can't say if that is true or not. Could be, which I would like.)

Answer 3

I like Spacephantom’s idea of Sally Sparrow as the Doctor’s next companion! Actually, ever since I saw the episode Blink I’ve thought, she would make a great companion for the Doctor! Possibly even better then Martha! Though that’s hard to imagine, Martha is the Doctor’s greatest companion! I’ll be honest, I did not like Dona at first. But I’m really starting to come around. Like with Rose, when I first started the first season, I could not stand her. Of course it doesn’t help that in the episode The Runaway Bride Dona was… well, for lack of a better word… an idiot. Then in Partners in Crime it was like she was a completely different person. I know in The Catherine Tate Show she is used to playing different characters but I wasn’t expecting that in Doctor Who! But now that I am used to her… new found intelligence… I don’t mind her so much… I think for some people, she just takes some getting used to… though for others, like my dad, well there is no getting used to her for them.

Answer 4

Martha Jones will be returning to travel with The Doctor but not for the first few episodes,she will be helping out Captain Jack at Torchwood.....honestly, probably while Owen is out of action after the bite he received from a weevil in the episode Combat,has given him weevil like tendencies and has had to be locked in one of the cells until he either goes back to normal or the team can find a cure.
When you think about it,it does make sense after all Martha has medical knowledge and she's someone Jack knows that he can trust.

Answer 5

It's alredy been annouced. It will be actor Tom someone (Mr Tasmine Authwaite in real life) but Martha wil be returning half way through the series after she has appeared in a few episodes of Torchwood.
