12 AWFUL TV Shows Doctor Who Actors Want You To Forget
10. Mile High - Freema Agyeman
Freema Agyeman may not have quite got the plaudits that normally come with a gig on Doctor Who, but her likeable off screen persona and development into the role of Martha Jones still makes her a welcome member of the Who family. Agyeman has since managed to land her first big US role alongside Ryan Eggold in NBC's New Amsterdam, with the Brit girl finally getting the rewards she deserves. Agyeman sure has come a long way, with performances in the likes of the intolerable Mile High now long behind her.
For those who had the good fortune to miss this car crash of a TV show, it's fair to say that the title is cleverer than the show ever managed. Following the exploits of the staff of Flash Airlines, the show was a mix of the worst soapies and Benny Hill like skits, while devoid of any humour or self awareness. The sexual escapades for which was meant to be the show's calling card were always lame, the producers too weak to follow through on the premise's one potential selling point.
Agyeman landed the role of the bride to be in the final ever episode for the show, a minor expository role in which, like most female characters in the show, she was scantily clad for little reason. The episode's tacked on 'sad ending' felt completely out of place with the rest of the episode and entire series, a lame effort to give gravitas to an otherwise cheap and nasty show.
