Freema Agyeman, who played Martha Jones in the third season of "Doctor Who," is nearing a deal to where she will return at least for the final episode featuring David Tennant in the title role, according to the British tabloid The Sun. "Freema's on board," a source told the newspaper. "It's early days, so it's unclear what exactly Martha will be up to in the new show ." The return does come as a bit of a surprise. Agyeman was slated to make the move full-time over to the "Doctor Who" spinoff "Torchwood" after a trial run in that show's second season, but at the last minute opted to take on a regular role in "Law & Order: U.K." instead. That move was said to have angered some of the management over in the "Doctor Who" camp, most especially outgoing showrunner Russell T. Davies, who had already plotted Martha's return to full-time status on "Torchwood," and even teased such a pairing in the fourth season finale of "Doctor Who." Whatever rift was there, apparently it's gone, and Agyeman will make at least one guest appearance as a way to say farewell to Tennant. Tennant, of course, is being replaced by Matt Smith when the show returns for its fifth season in 2010, but it seems he wasn't the first choice of the producers. Martin Clunes, the 47-year-old actor who American audiences would probably best remember as Gary Strang in the 1990s series "Men Behaving Badly," was apparently the man incoming showrunner Steven Moffat had in mind to take over the sonic screwdriver. "Producers wanted Martin to take over Tennant's job full-time and were desperate to see him in the Christmas episode," sources told the tabloid. "They saw it as a trial for the main job, but they found the whole casting process very frustrating. Talent comes at a price and the show could simply not afford Martin." "Doctor Who" returns with an Easter special this spring on BBC. http://syfyportal.com/news426011.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQdwk8Yntds
