Howling:Why no mention of Martha?

In SJA Death of the Doctor, a whole bunch of ex-companions of the Doctor are mentioned, including Liz Shaw, Harry Sullivan, Tegan, Ace (possibly), etc, etc. Yet I find it a bit odd that all the way through the story, no one so much as mentions Martha Jones, a person who not only travelled with the Doctor, but was also affiliated with UNIT itself. Does this mean anything at all? 82.2.136.93 17:05, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

Sarah Jane was telling Clyde and Rani what she had just learned by Googling TARDIS, but she had already known that Martha was with UNIT from The Stolen Earth, and she and Mickey probably hadn't been going "freelance" for long enough to make an impression yet. Or, from a real world point of view, she was listing off the classic companions who we hadn't heard from in years, but didn't bother mentioning Martha because her most recent appearance was only a year ago and we all already know what her fate was.Icecreamdif talk to me 19:43, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

Sarah Jane might also have been reluctant to draw the youngsters' attention to two former companions (Martha and Mickey) who'd taken up a "gun toting" approach. She failed to mention Jack Harkness, too, possibly for the same reason. --2.101.57.89 22:25, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

UNIT themselves fail to mention Martha, which does seem odd. Then again, it's important to bear in mind that all this is after the Time Cracks started deleting history. Perhaps in the current timeline, Martha never travelled with the Doctor? 194.168.208.42 14:59, November 15, 2011 (UTC)
