Who Is Martha Jones
Martha Jones, portrayed by Freema Agyeman, was studying for her doctorate in medicine when she was transported to the Moon. Since she had shown great bravery in the face of the Plasmavore and the Judoon invaders, David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor invited her to join the Tardis and accompany him on numerous adventures.

Noel Clarke’s former agent Gary O’Sullivan has been abruptly let go from UK management firm 42.
The company split with Clarke in recent weeks in light of a Guardian exposé alleging multiple instances of misconduct by the Brit actor. Now, Clarke’s longtime rep has also been shown the door.
A spokesperson for the company confirmed: “Gary O’Sullivan is no longer employed by 42 M&p.”
The exact reason for the termination has not been disclosed. O’Sullivan only joined the firm last year from Troika.
The veteran rep was an agent and partner at Troika for 13 years and previously worked in casting with well-known UK casting directors John and Ros Hubbard, whom he also represents. His hire by 42 was seen as a coup.
He brought with him clients including Cannes Best Actress winner Emily Beecham, BAFTA and Olivier winner Clarke, Golden Globe nominee Colm Meaney, BAFTA winner Rebecca Front,...

Embattled British star Noel Clarke has been accused of misbehavior of the sets of BBC’s flagship show “Doctor Who” — the program that helped turn him into a household name in the U.K.
“Several sources came forward to allege they were sexually harassed or inappropriately touched by the actor on a flagship show, ‘Doctor Who,'” U.K. newspaper The Guardian reported on Friday.
Clarke played the vehicle technician character Mickey Smith on “Doctor Who” from 2005 to 2010.
The Guardian published an explosive story on April 29, in which several women came forward and accused Clarke of inappropriate behavior, following which he lost his management and the BAFTA he was awarded a few weeks earlier. ITV, the BBC and Sky severed professional ties with him. Clarke has denied the charges vehemently.
The latest set of accusations against Clarke detail specific instances where he was allegedly out of line with a costume assistant,...

The Noel Clarke fallout continues, with the Guardian reporting today that the actor has now been accused of sexual harassment by several women on the set of BBC flagship show Doctor Who.
Clarke acted in the series as vehicle technician Mickey Smith from 2005 to 2010. The incidents detailed in the latest report range from inappropriate touching and sexual comments on set to aggressive and bullying behavior after his advances were spurned. Clarke continues to strenuously deny all allegations of sexual misconduct or criminal wrongdoing, including from the new article via his lawyers, but has said he will seek professional help for his behavior.
The latest Guardian exposé – which comes after the broadsheet broke the original story last week highlighting allegations of misconduct against Clarke from more than 20 women – also implicates fellow Doctor Who actor John Barrowman, who allegedly exposed himself to co-workers on two BBC productions.

Fans of the Arrowverse were first introduced to the multiverse, the idea of parallel worlds with parallel versions of our beloved characters on, The Flash Season 2 Episode 2.
Since then, our heroes have encountered multiple earths, including but not limited to:
Earth II, where Black Siren, Zoom, Harry Wells, and Jesse Quick came from
Earth III, where Jay Garrick came from
Earth 38 where Supergirl takes place Earth X, where nazis reigned supreme and Kara was involved with Oliver.
The theory of a multiverse is fascinating, but the Arrowverse is not the first show to go there. Oh, we can give credit to the comics circa 1961 and debate whether Marvel or DC did it first, but we're talking TV here.
And for TV, there is also a long history of parallel worlds.
In some cases, these worlds are fantasies, in others, a true parallel reality. However they came about, these shows gave...

The Crimson Horror
by Mark Gatiss
Directed by Saul Metzstein
People are turning up dead in the canal in Victorian Yorkshire, their bodies in varied states of petrifaction and their skin a lobster red. Madame Vastra and Jenny are asked to investigate, and when they realize that The Doctor is somehow involved, they hurry to investigate. A woman is establishing her own ark on dry land, planning to survive the next torrent, not of rain, but of poison.
Mark Gatiss balances comedy and horror with a deft hand, being given the reins on the investigating Silurian and her companions. This may be the closest we ever get to a completely solo Vastra and Jenny adventure,...
