With more than 60 years of history, each star's journey to the long-running science fiction showDoctor Who is bound to be different. For one star, she describes joining the show as a "convoluted journey." During a panel at the FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention, moderated by Collider's Maggie Lovitt, Freema Agyeman detailed her audition experience that ultimately led to her portrayal of Martha Jones in Season 2 of Doctor Who and her subsequent reprisal of the rolein the franchise. Agyeman says "It was quite a convoluted journey. It always is though isn't it with Doctor Who, it's never... everything is like covert and secret squirrel." She explains that before Torchwood became a show, the anagram was used as a pseudonym for the show during Agyeman's audition process. She says that's because "the appetite is ferocious in the UK and anything that anybody can get is like an exclusive they'll go for it. So I was told- Torchwood wasn't out then and that's an anagram and I had to work that out and they were like 'you're going in for this new show that Russel is going to be doing called Torchwood.' I said 'okay' and they said 'but we don't have any script from it so can you... you're going to be auditioning for episode one, Season 1 called 'Rose.''"
