Episodes in order:
3x01 "Smith and Jones
Martha's hospital is transported to the moon by an alien posing a motorbike courier. Aliens featured are possibly the Judoon. She meets the Doctor, posing as a patient, in this episode.
3x02 "The Shakespeare Code"
Set in London circa 1599, the Doctor and Martha meet Shakespeare and come up against alien called Carrionites. Producer Phil Collinson called this episode the most expensive to date. Shakespeare must give the performance of his life to save the Earth. The final scenes are 'saucy' apparently, and some things had to be changed, including an "underwear scene", because they were too suggestive. Keep in mind this is the ep everyone went wild over a few months back because of the Ten/Martha in bed rumours.
3x03 UNTITLED
3x04 Part 1 "Daleks in Manhattan"
Martha and the Doctor go to 1930's Manhattan. In Doomsday, the black dalek Sec was seen to disappear using a temporal shift in mid-flight once it realised that the Doctor was pulling them into the Void. This episode features that dalek and others. Some filming for this, presumably for backdrops, was done in New York. The daleks try to create human-dalek hybrids and Martha is one of the unlucky ones captured for the conversion.
3x05 Part 2 UNTITLED
Titles being tossed around for this ep include "The Oncoming Storm." The finale involves the Doctor scaling the Empire State Building.
3x06 "The Lazurus Experiment"
Martha visits her family when a 76 year old man played by Who writer Mark Gatiss uses an invention to de-age himself. Lady Thaw (played by Thelma Barlow) tries to steal the device for herself.
3x07 "42"
This involves a spaceship being pulled into the Sun and attempts to stop it from happening.
3x08 Part 1 "Human Nature"
This is an adaptation of the Doctor Who novel of the same name. It is set in a boy's school in 1913. An exciting two-parter for many reasons, one being that the Doctor uses a device that alters his DNA and he becomes human, calling himself John Smith. He falls for a teacher called Joan. Robin Hood star Harry Lloyd also stars.
3x09 Part 2 "The Family Of Blood"
In the book, the Doctor must sacrifice his new human status to save people from a race of aliens who want to get their hands on the his Time Lord DNA distilled into the device he used - it is unknown if the 2 parter will follow the book exactly or if it's loosely based.
3x10 "Blink"
This year's Love and Monsters, ie. it's light on Doctor / Martha.
3x11 "Utopia"
This episode features the return of Jack. It also stars famed actor Derek Jacobi as the Professor. It is set on a distant planet. They must save a world from ending.
3x12 Part 1 "The Sound of Drums"
Little info on this has been released yet, except that it features Mr Saxon, the British politician coming to power, and also the Master. The two may be one and the same.
3x13 Part 2 UNTITLED
Little known again, except that the Doctor returns Jack to Torchwood in Cardiff at the end.
Random info:
- Apparently John Simm (slated to be the Master) has grown a beard. Some say it's because he's playing Van Gogh in a new drama, but he's possibly grown it also for the Master. Actors playing the Master traditionally have had a goatee.
- Martha's parents are separated.
- Rumours about Michael Sheen being the 11th Doctor are not true (aw I liked him!). He was meeting with a producer because they are friends - apparently!!! Lol.
- Oh and...
Oh and this meme I stole from
