Doctor Who's New Assistant Takes On Billie's Fans
Doctor Who's new sidekick FREEMA AGYEMAN is preparing to team up with the Time Lord in the British TV show for the first time later this year (06) - but she fears her predecessor Billie Piper will be a hard act to follow. The 27-year-old can't wait to play new assistant MARTHA JONES in the hit sci-fi series, and is hoping to win over Piper's fans. She says, "It still hasn't sunk in. Billie built up an amazing fan base, but I hope the fans are willing to go on new adventures with me." Piper's character ROSE will be killed off in this weekend's (08JUL06) episode.
