Doctor Who's 2024 Christmas Special, 'Joy to the World,' features a hospital that previously appeared in the episode 'Smith & Jones' with Martha Jones. This reference highlights the underutilized presence of Martha Jones during her time on the show.
Doctor Who 's 2024 Christmas Special included a reference to a former companion, and highlights just how underused she was during her time on the show. Doctor Who may have started back in 1963, but the modern version of the show has only been on the air since 2005. In that time, the show has seen six different actors play the role of the Doctor manning the TARDIS, with several companions joining them for adventures through time and space.
Doctor Who's 2024 Christmas Special Brings Back The Hospital From "Smith & Jones" Martha Jones Old Stomping Ground Makes An Appearance Close In"Joy to the World," the 2024 Doctor Who Christmas Special, the Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, teams up with a young woman named Joy.
Posts The Royal Hope hospital was initially featured in"Smith & Jones," the season 3 premiere, where the Doctor first met Martha Jones, played by Freema Agyeman. This nod to that previous episode is a wonderful way to tie the show back in with its own history, but it also highlights an issue that arose during that early period of the show's revival. Martha Jones was a character who was never really afforded an opportunity to be developed and shine during her time on the TARDIS.
This led to a struggle in the companionship, and an intense imbalance. It also meant that despite their short time together, Martha was often left to fend for herself. Ultimately, this did make her a stronger, more independent, and impressive character who went on to be an invaluable UNIT agent, but it also meant her character and relationship with the Doctor felt lacking.
