Not character-wise, but rumours (posted here, anon, so prolly take with a huge block of salt) have indicated David Tennant didn't like Freema Agyeman, so much so, he insisted they kick her to the curb, and we got Catherine Tate as a result. Which, I liked Donna, her time in the TARDIS really did feel the closest the reboot has gotten to Classic!Who IMO, but now that I know where it came from/what it was a result of, eh, I feel kind of sketch for enjoying it, now.

Wow. I've never heard that. And Google-fu doesn't seem to be giving me any links. That's kind of creepy if he did that.

I still like his chemistry with Catherine best, though. And Donna was my favorite even just with Runaway Bride before Martha came on the scene. And Martha did come back a bunch during Series 4.

It was, if my crap memory serves me correctly, posted in the comments section of a secret that said OP wished that how they (Martha, Ten, Jack) all looked so happy and besties in the PR shots was really how it had been, behind the scenes, even though they knew it wasn't. Another commenter in the thread mentioned the rumour I recounted above, when I asked for details. Then somebody linked to Eccleston's interview, and yeah. Sounds like the whole thing has been sketch from the word go. :-P

[philstar22]

Do you have the link to the Eccleston interview by chance?

[(Anonymous)]

DA I did read the Eccleston interview from that link as well, I'd agree with what the above anon said, sorry I didn't keep a link.

I think Freema A just didn't work out. The public didn't take to her at all. I think it was the way the character was written, although I didn't think she was a very good actress and I remember lots of jokes online about her being wooden, but I don't think any of them have been the best actresses, except maybe Alex Kingston. Anyhow they got rid of her fast enough.

[philstar22]

Didn't work out? Really? She came back plenty in series 4. And while some didn't like her, she also had plenty of fans.

Personally, I liked her just fine, and I don't think she was any more wooden than anyone else. Alex is really good and so was Catherine, but they also had much more experience. And I don't see any problems with the way she was written. I thought the idea of a companion who started out loving the Doctor but ended up finding herself and moving on and walking away on her own was pretty cool.

Freema Agyeman asked to leave the show because she had a chance to be in a period BBC miniseries and she'd always wanted to be in one. David Tennant did lobby for Catherine Tate as her replacement because they had great chemistry and like working together, but that was only after they'd begun looking for the next companion. I don't have a source link but if you watch the Doctor Who Confidentials and interviews from that time you'll hear it from Freema and everyone says just about the same thing.
