Dr Martha Jones worked as a medical student at the Royal Hope Hospital in London when she first met the Doctor. Eventually, after deciding to leave him, the Doctor ensured that she would find work with UNIT.

Joining the Doctor
The twenty-four-year-old Martha was working at Royal Hope Hospital under Mr Stoker when she encountered the Doctor. She encountered him on the street, then gave him a cursory physical (and learnt that he had two hearts) and later helped him defeat the Plasmavore "Florence Finnegan" when the hospital was transported to the Moon by the Judoon. That evening, she joined the Doctor on his travels. The Doctor insisted, however, that he had not brought Martha aboard the TARDIS as a replacement for his previous companion, Rose Tyler. (DW: Smith and Jones)

On her first trip the Doctor took her to Elizabethan London where she met famous writer William Shakespeare. But a race of witch like aliens known as the Carrionites where trying to change reality. Martha, Shakespeare and the doctor stopped them by using a spell against them. As they now where trapped inside a crystal ball. (DW: The Shakespeare Code)

On her second trip in the Tardis The doctor took her to the Planet New Earth where they landed in the Undercity. Martha soon was kidnapped by a young couple named Milo and Cheen. She found out to get on New New York Motorway fast lane you needed three passengers. They discovered that there was a creature living on the surface of the motorway. This creature turned out to be the Macra. On getting saved when the motorway opened Milo and Cheen dropped her of at New New York Senate where she saw Novice Hame and The Face of Boe She and the doctor heard his last words "You Are Not Alone". When the walked back to the Tardis the doctor told Martha of the Time war and that he was the last of his kind. (DW: Gridlock)

The Doctor extended her trip on the Tardis and they went to 1930's New York. They Landed in Hoovervile. Mr Diagros was looking for employees to get the Empire State Building finished, but also to get people to go into the sewers. The Doctor, Martha, Frank and Solomon volunteered, as they found out that people were mysteriously disappearing. When they went down there they encountered a group of Pig Slaves that went running towards them. Martha, Solomon and the Doctor got out but Frank was taken by the slaves. Martha landed up in a theatre dressing room where she met a woman called Tallulah who was looking for her boyfriend Laszlo. Later, whilst watching Tallulah on stage she saw a pig like humaniod. Chasing him off stage followed by Tallulah, she discovered it was Lazlow. Suddenly Martha was kidnapped by a group of Pig Slaves and taken for the "final experiment". Martha found out that the beings responsible for this was the Cult of Skaro. Dalek Sec, their leader at the time had taken Mr Diagros and using his body, became the first human Dalek. Eventually she escaped with the Doctor, and returned to Hooverville, where Dalek Jast and Dalek Thay attacked along with the pig slaves. The Doctor agreed to go with them if they would spare the people of Hoovervile, and as he left he gave Martha the Psychic paper. She used this to get into the Empire State building with Tallulah, and managed to kill the Pig Slaves, although she seemed upset when she reflected that they had just been humans like themselves once. She was reunited with the Doctor and saw the human Daleks kill Jast and Rabe after they killed Sec. However, Dalek Caan retaliated by killing the Human Daleks. He then used the emergency temporal shift to escape. (DW: Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks)

The Doctor returned Martha home and said good bye but that was not the end of Martha's travels with the doctor. On the news it was announced that Prof. Richard Lazurus was going to change what it ment to be human. The Doctor decided to investigate that with Martha. As Tish had got a job as his PA. Martha introduced the doctor to her mother and Leo and Francine started to get suspicius. Martha then witnessed Lazurus turn forty years yuonger in a machine but the doctor had to save him from dying. The Doctor and Martha investigated more and found the drained body of Lady Thaw. Martha found out he was with tish on the roof as they were about to save her Lazurus transformed and tried to drain tish. They ran down the stairs and evacuated the building. Francine slaped the doctor infront of Martha as Lazurus had been defeated. Martha suddenly heard an ambulence crash and the paramedics had been drained. Her the doctor and tish ran into a chatherdral and were chased by Lazurus. Tish and Martha were trapped in the top tower. But the doctor killed Lazurus with the force of the organs. Martha later got a message on her phone which she did not get because she had just gone into the Tardis. It was from her mother "Martha Please the doctor is dangerous. Mr Saxon said so himself". (DW: The Lazurus Experiment)

Time away from the Doctor
When the Master took over Earth, Martha pretended to make a weapon that would kill the Master. She said that she had witnessed the Toclafane burn the islands of Japan. She spent a year on earth telling everyone to think of the Doctor at a specific time so that the Master could be defeated. This plan worked and the Master was shot by his wife Lucy Saxon. As a result of the destruction of the Master's Paradox Machine, only Martha, her family, and everyone else who was on board the Valiant remembered that year spent with the Master. Although the Doctor wanted her to stay with him, she decided that her family needed her more, and stayed on Earth to complete her training as a doctor.however, she gave the Doctor her enhanced mobile phone, saying that she would call him in the future when she needed him. (DW: Last of the Time Lords)

Joining UNIT and short tenure with Torchwood
The Doctor put in a good word for Martha at UNIT. At the request of Captain Jack, as a UNIT officer, she visited Torchwood 3 in Cardiff, where she became embroiled in their investigation of a private medical organization called The Pharm. Torchwood sent her into the Pharm as an undercover agent, but during the course of her investigation she was discovered and captured and the Mayflies were put into her body. Owen Harper saved her life using an alien surgical device but Alan Copley killed him. Just as Copley was about to shoot Martha he was shot in the head by Jack Harkness. (TW: Reset) Martha witnessed Owen's return from the dead as an undead being means of the resurrection gauntlet and gave him a posthumous physical. "Death", a force possessing Harper aged Martha into an old woman. After the Death being vanished, she reverted to normal (TW: Dead Man Walking) She mended Harper's injured hand after, in a fit of self-destruction, he deliberately wounded it, after Jack decided to relieve him of duty at Torchwood. When Owen Harper was promoted back to Doctor, she left for UNIT, a few days after she had joined on (TW: A Day in the Death). She didn't go to Gwen Cooper's wedding because of work (Torchwood website).

Back at UNIT, her boyfriend, Thomas Milligan and Martha got engaged (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem), though he left Britain for a while to go to Africa (DW: The Poison Sky)

Reunion with the Doctor
Martha called the Doctor just as she, together with UNIT, was about to attack the ATMOS factory which secretly formed a key part of a Sontaran invasion plan. At the time, she worked under the by-the-book Colonel Mace who was in charge of the operation. Later that day she warned Donna Noble to keep her family safe because of what had happened to her own family at the hands of the Master. A few minutes later she was kidnapped by two solders under Sontaran control and taken to her to a cloning pool, where they started copying her body. She then was put to sleep but kept alive as a her clone was about to aid the Sontarans and needed access to her memories. (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem) Martha's clone died soon after the Doctor rescued the real Martha. While chatting with the Doctor and Donna inside the TARDIS after the defeat of the Sontarans, Martha turned down the Doctor's offer to let her travel again with him. As soon as she had made her refusal unknown force took control of the ship and dragged it into the Vortex (DW: The Poison Sky).

Martha walked out of the Tardis onto the planet Messaline, remarking to Donna that even though she didn't want to travel with the Doctor any more, she loved the first steps of exploration on a new planet. On Messaline the Doctor was immediately taken hold of and his hand put in a machine to form his daughter, Jenny. Soon after, they were attacked by the Hath. Martha was separated from the Doctor and Donna and taken by the Hath. She saw an injured one named Hath Peck whom Martha helped, earning the Haths' trust, who then showed her a map of where they were. The Doctor was shown a corresponding map, and caused new passages and tunnels to appear on both maps, much to the Haths' surprise, who thought Martha was responsible. The Doctor then called her, and told her where they were heading. Martha found a way onto the planet's surface and took Hath Peck with her. On the surface Martha slipped into something like a pool of quicksand, but Hath Peck saved her life, sacrificing his own, to Martha's distress. Martha then saw the temple and was reunited with The Doctor, Donna and Jenny there. They discovered what the Humans and Hath were fighting over; the Source which would make the planet's surface habitable again. As the Hath and the Humans come running up the Doctor released the Source, however General Cobb was jealous and shot at the Doctor, wounding Jenny instead. When the Doctor said that there was a possibility she would come back to life, Martha shook her head and confirmed she was dead. Later, the Doctor took her back to Earth where she cheerfully said farewell to him and Donna, and was reunited with her fiancé, Thomas Milligan (DW: The Doctor's Daughter).

Reunion with Jack
Martha and Jack are rumoured to leave together at the end of Journey's End to join the Torchwood Institute.
